#FlashbackFriday

 

This "driving while gay moment" may be as close as I'll ever come to going viral!

P.S. 

Last Friday, when I posted about James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa's victory trip to Whataburger, I didn't realize there was a precedent: It seems Joe Biden and Beto O'Rourke made a similar stop in Dallas in 2020, shortly after Beto endorsed Biden. Here's wishing the greatest president in my lifetime all the best as he continues to battle prostate cancer.

Transfixed: Here's your periodic reminder that this is the "transphobic" tweet that got J.K. Rowling -- who had spent years championing LGBTQ rights and inclusivity, which you might think would have earned her some goodwill -- labeled Trans Enemy Number One: defending a woman who lost her job over her materialist view of human biology. Sadly, Rowling is one of those thin-skinned egomaniacs who then doubled and tripled down in increasingly uncharitable ways. But if you'd been on the receiving end of such unwarranted vitriol, there's no telling how you might have reacted -- especially knowing that all of it was coming from within your own tribe. How I wish my community could get over its single-issue fixation and learn to pick its battles, because god knows there are plenty of actual enemies out there.

Sí, Seniority: We elected our senators and representatives. Now they get to choose their leadership -- that's how the system works. If you're determined to challenge the status quo, here's an idea: Don't waste the next two years squabbling over who's in charge of legislation that's only going to get vetoed anyway. Focus instead on winning back the White House, when control of House and Senate leadership would really matter. Until then, all this infighting is doing is suffocating the joy and momentum we've waited so long to achieve. (Please let me be happy for five minutes.)
