That year I went as a house fire to Wow Wear right after my house fire.
How a D.C. political novice unseated longtime council member Vincent Orange.

One of my first lovers, while we were in senior high, was assaulted outside a coffee shop in Aquia, VA. He also has a plate or two in his head.
I was "jumped" in my neighborhood when I was 11 or 12 for being gay. It was just one of many occasions. Before, and (of course) after.
Maybe you don't know what it's like. Someone you know does. What are you doing to stop it?

The radicalized American in Orlando was closeted? If you've ever bullied a queer individual for their sexuality, you have blood on your hands. You are responsible for this.
"So it is worth spelling out why free expression is the bedrock of all liberties."
"These are good rules for everyone. Never try to silence views with which you disagree. Answer objectionable speech with more speech. Win the argument without resorting to force. And grow a tougher hide."

I thought I was constitutionaly entitled to tank tops and lousy spelling.
If you have power and don't use it, you are complicit in these horrors.
When will you do something? How many deaths inside black churches? How many rapes? How many of my brothers and sisters need to be slaughtered?
Get radical.

Pride festival! Charlie Puth performing-- but the interpreter is clearly winning.
A guy sped up at me in the crosswalk. Honked. Yelled. Called me a faggot. Threatened to kill me. I stood my ground. Didn't cuss-- switched into teacher mode and made him say he was sorry. He's a DC firefighter with MD plates. Anyone got any ideas how to inform his employer? Take it away, Facebook!
I love: family, friends, DC, and my queer brothers & sisters.

That time I met Jake Shears and he liked my shorts.
My favorite kind of day: my ashtanga practice in the am, chats with dear friends, teaching, napping with the pup, bikram, lifting, and then more friends. It's about perfect.

1/2 of all federal inmates are there due to drugs. Something is wrong-- free them, not just from prison but also from stigma.
omg I missed drag kickball
My house is basically a sleeve hospice. They just don't last very long once they come in.
Can I actually learn to paint by practicing along with Bob Ross?
A young woman was black-out drunk. A persistent freshman in college had sex with her behind a dumpster. The sex was messy, and she did not consent.
"Here's The Powerful Letter The Stanford Victim Read To Her Attacker. "
I don't care about his minimal punishment: I care about the narrative. Each and every person reading these words knows someone who has been in a similar situation.
