Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

to leave hate messages everywhere. to say that someone else is wrong for existing. and so many of them claim to be "Christians" too...I say the dog in the back of the pickup truck, that's loving life and enjoying pets and happily giving licks and love understands what it means to be Christian better

i look forward to the day when I don't have to fear leaving comments of support on other trans people's pages for fear that someone will use it to put me on a list and say I don't deserve to exist. or that i'm pretending. or that i'm sick. or that I'm going to hell. life is too fucking short

I have not gotten to pet any puppies at work this week and I...I am bereft. the only dogs I saw were small dachshunds with their heads stuck out of big f150 windows enjoying the breeze through their floopy ears. and I could not disturb them because they looked so wild and free.

Danielle Anne Baum @dabaum.bsky.social · 19h

nooooooooooo!!!! *sets the germs on fire and covers you with a healing layer of puppies *
