If Joe Biden was really ready to do something he would fly immediately to Grants Pass, OR, sleep all night on a park bench, get up in the morning, drive to the nearest gay coffee shop, and add four seats to the Supreme Court while eating a vegan muffin.

Just had to drop my youngestā€™s forgotten lunch at school and the tone in which the admin asked if I happened to know his teacherā€™s name gave me several ļæ¼feelings.

We know and can prove that some parents would punish or expel an LGBTQ child. 22% of šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ kids have been physically abused. Only 5-10% of kids are LGBTQ but 25-40% of homeless youth are. Now tell me what PROVABLE harm to letting schools keep kidsā€™ confidences outweighs that.

I donā€™t care what photos anyone has of naked people or wild outfits at pride. The fact is, sex is something Iā€™d be glad my for children to participate in when theyā€™re grown, if they want. Intolerance is not. I can easily contextualize or avoid a butt or a boob, but not a hateful asshole.

We are too which is why thereā€™s not room for FIVE jars that have a tablespoon or less of actual contents, most of them expired, living a relaxing life in the corners of my refrigerator while the yogurt is balanced precariously on an edge.

The mum at the next table is reviewing the vacation photos so far based on whether the children (with whom she is looking at them) look ā€œneat and tidyā€ or ā€œall a messā€ and I find I have many feelings about this, none of them warm.

I was filling out my author questionnaire for the new book and in retrospect I may have gotten a little punchy toward the end there.

Tell me again? Because it sounded like you said ā€œintā€™l governing body of motherfucking chess announces that it thinks men are smarter/more strategic than women and this announcement wasā€¦ cheered, by people calling themselves feministsā€ and that CANNOT be right.

My sexual orientation is and always has been ā€œbig brain, big heart, big buttā€ and you canā€™t tell me Iā€™m alone in that. Iā€™m frankly shocked thereā€™s not already a flag for it.

Okay, I wrote down my conspiracy theory about book bans. ā€œThe point is that fascists donā€™t just want to remove copies of The Bluest Eye from our public libraries; they want to remove public libraries from our democracy.ā€
