I also had a chance to visit the California African American Museum to see their exhibits “The Sound of Gordon Parks,” “A New Song: Langston Hughes in the West,” and “Free and Queer: Black Californian Roots of Gay Liberation.” All three exhibits were divine!

i am old enough to remember a time when dolly parton was very frequently the butt of people's unfunny jokes and if i could i'd hunt each and every one of them down to call them a fucking loser but i can't and more importantly, dolly wouldn't want me to.

Dolly Parton's death is a reminder that doing what is right and decent is way more fulfilling than all this evil and cruelty in the world. She was a light while she was here and spent her time helping others. It's easy to forget that there are people like that in the world.

Italy is next on my travel list. I have been wanting to go to Florence and Rome. I think I’ll try to do that in April 2027.
