Quintessence of Dust

Novelist, theatre producer & educator

I document cat and dog interactions, share tales from the CFS wars, and pass along diversions of all kinds.

Please scream inside your heart.
I used to happily chant “Gretzky sucks!” when the Oilers came to L.A. until I happily cheered for him when he stayed to play.

Awesome. I’ve liked him for awhile, but Illinois governors have a bad habit of going to jail.

Is Newsom killing trans people? No.

Get a grip.

Are they redistricting their states to counter Texas?

I hope they continue to fight also. And if one of them is the candidate in 3 years against the fascist, I will vote for them. I will also vote for Newsom if I have to. I can’t afford to fuck around waiting for a candidate I like.

This isn’t about self respect, it’s about self preservation and protecting my kids. Don’t for a moment believe that this moment is not an existential crisis for me and mine, so I will tolerate the enemies of my real enemies if they can help me, even if they are not my friends.

I’m a trans woman with two trans kids. Please direct me towards another mainstream politician who is standing up for us and standing against the fascists in power.

For the record, I do not like Newsom but I also don’t believe he will try to erase me.

My father grew up in Florida in the 50’s…he said they called it “the one we lost”

True story: I had a student whose father was uncomfortably attracted to me prior to my GRS. The surgery relieved me of two annoying pricks.

I’ll never forgive my parents for not bringing me to see him play before I turned 10.

He’s closed with it every time I have seen him play (once every decade since the 80’s)

Eric Trump is that dude who convinces college students to guilt their parents’ friends into buying a set of crap knives.

But not as painful as when “the union of the snake is on the climb”

Must have been 1987…

I was in an elevator at the Beverly Center and Kyle MacLachlan stepped in.

I said, “You’re Kyle MacLachlan.”

He smiled and said, “Yes, I am.”

Then he exited.

I’m delivered pizza in the San Fernando Valley in the 80’s and it would have been impossible (until I committed my delivery area to memory) without the Thomas Guide.

These days I don’t leave the house without my trip programmed. I feel less capable.
