Loved writing this story — The Ultimate Gay Road Trip — for @insidehook.bsky.social. Our cross-country road trip, as a gay couple, gave me much needed hope.

But guess what a majority of Kentucky voters don’t think is a priority? That’s right — blocking transgender Kentuckians from accessing gender-affirming health care. @oliviakrauth.bsky.social queerkentucky.com/who-asked-fo...
Who asked for this? New poll signals Kentuckians don't want lawmakers blocking gender-affirming health care - Queer Kentucky
Poll shows most Kentuckians prioritize public education & healthcare over anti-trans laws.

It's sad that visitors this summer cannot tour the intricate Lower Cave (pictured below) or Kings Palace to admire nature's underground artistry. Cuts to NPS staff have shut down guided cave tours in several national parks.

It’s been such a joy visiting more National Parks, like Arches, again. These beautiful sanctuaries changed my career, & my life.
National Parks are for everyone, & they need protection now more than ever.

My second time touring Lehman Cave in Great Basin National Park.
I love the solitude of this park, both on the surface and beneath.

Absolutely thriving on the Mendocino Coast, thanks for asking.
Pro tip: stay at Sacred Rock Inn in Elk, Cali., and synchronize sunset with some tub time.

Ok so Nevada City, Cali., is the prettiest Gold Rush town I’ve ever seen. Stayed at The National Exchange Hotel, a brick-clad hotel first built in 1856, and honestly can’t wait to come back.

I’m going to keep saying it until it happens:

My writing will be the reason why I won’t have to work a 9-5 the rest of my life.
My writing will be the reason why I can finally know how it feels to live comfortable in this lifetime.
