Bloom on a venture, part two.

Heading to rehearsal today, I found this bloom lying on the sidewalk. I decided to take it on an adventure around the city.

There are Halloween people, and there are Christmas people, and around this time of year they start arguing about when one celebration starts and the other ends.

Personally, I like both at once.

If you're feeling edgy and festive, I recommend this song:

Happy Bi Day!

The word amBIguous is essentially dedicated to us, but that doesn't mean we have to be quiet about it.

Bi: same and different. No limitations, no phobias, no gatekeeping.

Have you ever tried eating popcorn in the dark?

Select something that you are entirely familiar with and remove a sense.
Experience it anew.

Media will include demographics information about criminals who belong to a minority in order to create a subconscious connection in readers' minds between that minority identity and the crime committed.

Have you ever seen the phrase "Cisgender Murderer" at the top of a news article?
