Help? Local friends, I am looking to possibly hire Help? Local friends, I am looking to possibly hire a contractor to remove old caulk and then recaulk a plastic insert shower stall. (I know it’s something that someone can attempt themselves but I’d like to hire someone who is a 🧡 proven professional at the art and science of caulking…)
This week's creative writing prompt, and other boo This week's creative writing prompt, and other book recommendations and personal thoughts, comes to readers thanks to the memoir Dear America, Notes of an Undocumented Citizen by Jose Antonio Vargas. 

No one is illegal. My Substack newsletter is late this week; I tried to write about Los Angeles and kept failing. I stand in solidarity with all in the struggle for human rights, open borders, and free movement of living beings. 

I am writing this from Dakota land during the Queer Voices Retreat at ARC Retreat Community in Stanchfield, Minnesota. It is raining and the beautiful dark green leaves of the tall Oak tree outside the window of the main lodge are quaking with life. Old growth pine trees abound on these 88 stewarded acres. 

Thank you, to Queer Voices including the super beautiful awesome staff leaders @leesuhmaroon @sherriefernandezwilliams @JohannaKellerFlores, @sharkylemon and the fellow mentors -- the very gifted, compassionate, inspiring thoughtful @nickmetcalf23 , @nichlosonrebecca, and the brilliant, lively, kind, and supportive mid-career writers plus the amazing ARC staff and volunteers and the swan family and the many hog-nosed snakes at https://www.arcretreat.org/

Again, my sincerest thanks to all the subscribers free and paid to my Substack experiment. I appreciate you and this opportunity to connect and converse about things we all care about--each other, humans, society, the living world, our future.
Happy shishito pepper morning! 💚 Happy shishito pepper morning! 💚

For the queer and the quonfused. I’m Too Old for this $hit is an event organized by a friend. Online dating is not for the faint of heart. Travel back in time to the olden days where we smiled, made eye-contact, body-languaged, and pheromoned our way through it!"
