Last night went to a Christmas disco at the local pub. A group of school teachers were there, very drunk. The PE teacher came up and tapped me on the shoulder. Scowled. Said 'I can tell you work out'.
Shambled away.
I'm healed!
38 years of trauma gone!
14 year-old me is free!

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

A dog bitten by a snake fears sausages.
There’s a Spanish version of “once bitten, twice shy” that translates to “those burnt by milk, see a cow and cry.” A Korean variant is “a person who was bitten by a tortoise gets startled when they see a pot lid.” But the most pithy phrase is the Finnish Siperia opettaa. It means “Siberia teaches.”

This week it is the availability of halal meat at Christmas markets that is setting off the wingnuts and cranks. You know those sacred places where you can buy overpriced chachkis and terrible hot chocolate? Ayup. #christmas #happyholidays #thecomicswordbook

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

She is a member of a sorority with very high academic standards.
She submit a patently terrible essay that got awarded a zero.
Not a low grade, a zero.
Her instructor is trans.
This was an intentional act of media manipulation.
