It is incredibly weird fucking times that Mike Pence is getting this year's Profile in Courage Award. I get it, and agree that he fits the criteria for the Award, but it's still a mindfuck.

So proud of @queerhistoryboston.bsky.social for making sure that this administration can’t erase our queer history.
Queer history is American history, and American history belongs to all of us.

This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

Lo-fi beats to study to. Lo-fi beats for researching the decline and fall of musicians in the streaming era. Lo-fi beats in which to get your tween a stereo system. Lo-fi beats in which to wrap a jewel-case CD. A deep, comforting wall of sound, passed down.

Hey folks, any suggestions for a plug-and-play website with a membership option? I was exploring Patreon, but I don't know that I want to sign up for another platform.

4/5 Stars. Suprisingly fun, although I wouldn't have called it a romance. The mystery was light even though it was about a mom who was murdered by her [spoiler]. The chocolatier son had big bi energy & should've ended up with his best friend/rival.
