Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I don't think it's true that the world is dimmer with Dolly's passing, though I understand the sentiment. I believe Dolly left a light that will shine brighter forever. She spent a lifetime lifting up and inspiring every person she met and millions more she never did. Her light endures.

If you ever wonder why queer and trans people have high rates of poverty and houselessness it may be things like my wife being taken of the schedule for the next three days(unpaid) "for her safety" because some asshole decided to come in and start throwing slurs around because he saw a trans woman.

If someone asked me to define my cultural heritage, I would respond I am "from the Southwest" I think that there is a regional shared culture in the Southwest as distinct from other parts of the US. It took moving away from the Southwest for me to realize it though.
I'd be interested in some thoughts from Americans on here on an idea:

Over the last 5 years, have you found yourself identifying more with your home state than the US as a whole over time?

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.
I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

Dad: Eek-A-Mouse, Leonard Cohen, Chris Isaak, Bob Marley, Led Zepplin, Ini Kamoze, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Steeleye Span, Marty Robbins, Allison Krause, Live, Rob Zombie, Barenaked Ladies. I never knew what was going to be playing when I got in the car or came home 😂
what's the music your parents played all the time when you were a kid? for me, it's a dead heat between Neil Diamond and Linda Ronstadt

It hasn’t kept me from seeing a damn thing. Instead, seeing people come together in joy and enthusiasm has reminded me exactly what I’m fighting for. Sorry if you can’t walk and chew gum tho.
bread and circuses keep us from seeing the reality behind it all…

I just want to know why I don't deserve a home. Why my kids don't deserve a home. I'm so fucking tired.
