If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.
! A key group of Senate Democrats is leaning toward voting for a deal to end the shutdown, provided final details can be worked out like worker protections (Gift link)
(Deal does NOT include an ACA extension.)

I know, it’s over 700 pages (but about 160 are pix, notes, index) but such an important work to recognize the genius of Baldwin, and how his real life was interwoven with his fiction and essays. Five stars!

Had there been marriage equality in 1992, we’d be celebrating our 33rd anniversary—but instead we are celebrating 20 years since our marriage on this day in 2005. We hope our marriage will continue to be recognized legally for the rest of
our lives. It’s our anniversary!!

We don’t go out to dinner on Valentine’s Day (since the $500 nightmare dinner in 1996) so tonight it is Mac and Cheese and hot dogs, but with French 75’s. Happy Valentine’s Day—go out (or stay in) and celebrate same gender love while we still can. 33rd Valentine’s Day together for us!

Remembering our trip to Venice 19 years ago this month…
We went off-season, just after Carnivale, and the city was mostly empty of tourists. Wandering the bridges and along canals, finding wonderful restaurants, enjoying the unique winter light: it was a truly awesome visit.
