You brought home donuts,
Sprinkles and strawberry filled,
And you made me smile.

Hair a mess, rheumy-eyed, breath like a corpse, and entirely too old for me, he was the most beautiful creature I had ever beheld. He had stayed the whole night! And now he was offering brunch!

You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.
