Be the flower, not the rifle

A picture of a young person placing a stemmed flower into the barrel of a soldier's rifle at an anti war protest during the Vietnam War. From wiki:
Flower Power is the title of a photograph taken by American photographer Bernie Boston for the now-defunct newspaper The Washington Evening Star. Taken on October 21, 1967, during the March on the Pentagon by the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, the photo shows protester George Harris placing a carnation into the barrel of an M14 rifle held by a soldier of the 503rd Military Police Battalion (Airborne).

Okie/Texy has a chance of ending 9-6 which is a perfect caveman football score, although this is far from caveman football.

Ah. I use Pocket Cast free version and they don't have any interstitial ads, just whatever the podcast itself inserts.

Happy National Coming Out Day to all but especially to my amazing trans homies. The worst people in the world are trying to erase you because they’re terrified of your unwillingness to bow before colonialism and patriarchy. Keep being exactly who you are, and with your example may we all be so bold.

You can doomscroll OR you can listen to "Songs in the Key of Life" by Stevie Wonder but you can't...actually you can, but you shouldn't. It's a good album. Give it your full attention. The timeline will still be horrible later, but you'll have that sweet sweet serotonin floater.

Finished the latest restoration project I swore I wouldn't take on but I'm a dumb bitch who will never learn. It's a 47 year old turntable. I'm now a dumb bitch who will never learn with a bomb-ass vintage turntable in his office. Pics to follow once I shine up the woodwork a little.

Matthew would have been 49 years old.

God bless Matthew, and every LGBTQ person living in America today (like me and my husband) and facing the HATE.

LGBTQ STRONG! 🌈
