The FlightAware app is free with ads. Very, very useful for tracking flights. Has a button for "Where is my plane?" that tracks the actual aircraft. You can see if it departed en route to you pick up place. Excellent info given the misery caused by delayed/canceled flights. #flightaware #airports

Colorful night view of ferris wheel at Palm Springs Pride. (Our pride is in November because it's too hot in June to have a parade (lol).)

The USA would be a much better place if our federal elected officials had mandatory retirement at 72. Personally, I couldn't wait to retire. I do not respect old people who hang on and on no matter how much good they might be doing. Open the floor for younger people #retirement #pelosi

Every aspect of Pirates of the Caribbean ride was prototyped. Not an inch of the actual ride was started at Disneyland until all details / safety were designed. Better than modern #tech that shouts: "Move fast and break things." Real people have been really hurt by sloppy tech. #throwbackthursday

The USA cabinet secretary came out saying food stamps are corrupt. Slam on the breaks! Her info is the 27 red states that turned over data. The blue states filed lawsuits to block the request for data. If there is corruption in the data, it's the red states and not blue. www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...

Walmart is consistently identified as one of the largest private-sector employers whose workforce includes substantial numbers of #Medicaid and #SNAP (food stamp) recipients... Here's a bit of conversation I had just last night. It's not immigrants. factually.co/fact-checks/...

My undergrad work was in Linguistics, so my ears pricked up when I heard some new words and phrases used by young people. #writing #writingcommunity I especially like the concept that something puzzling deserves to start a podcast to solve a mystery.

It's Christian All Souls’ Day. I spot and note Bible tattoos on men in gay bars. Romans 8:38-39 is popular. “Nor height [power in the sky], nor depth [the earth below], nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.” Wish the #Christian #homophobes understood that verse.

Dr. CARO DE ROBERTIS spoke at Palm Springs Pride on the Page yesterday. They mentioned when presenting to cis het groups, an audience member always asks: Why keep adding letters to LGBTQIA+? Dr. DE ROBERTIS explanation: It's a path to becoming human. Powerful! #lgbtq+ #trans #2spirit

Yesterday I had the great privilege of hearing Dr. CARO DI ROBERTIS discuss their book. Claiming that #trans is a fad among young people try to trivialize it. I’m shocked when gay men my age say this. Most say “I knew I was gay when I was 4 years old.” Why not extend that to #trans people? #lgbtq+

Today starts El Día de los Muertos - The Day of the Dead. Even though breweries are infamous for providing bars with holiday-themed decorations and coasters to increase sales, this one by Modelo from last year is actually very respectable. The illustration is well done. #diadelosmuertos #modelo

Americans are shocked how some Australians use the c-word commonly. Australians on the other hand are shocked how often we let our school children be gunned down . #australia #halloween #cultural differences

From 2001 *Weekly World News* "How to Tell If Your Guardian Angel is Gay!" "Guardian angels are just like humans, they come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and both genders - and yes, some guardian angels are even gay," says Dr. Doug Weber. #throwbackthursday #lgbt #angels #funny #gayhumor

Repeating my own #rant about #ActBlue -- they are merely payment processors. They do not share our email or phone. Those are partner companies that calculate a persons ability to give and propensity to give. Companies like #windfall #bonterra #socialsolutions #everyaction #networkforgood

Ignoring the fact that many people do not care one whit about Advent, I think it's fascinating that Dior cosmetics have a USD $750 Advent Calendar of sorts. Order yours before they are sold out!!! #advent #adventcalendar #eyeroll
