Little Bits Of Light
PRIDE MONTH BABY! I love this month, as an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, and feel saddened that there is a single sliver of backlash at all. SO, celebrate, please celebrate, and spread rainbow love everywhere. On to the links!
Real talk: I’ve been losing some paid subscribers over the last few weeks, and while it might seem small, it really does sting, as those of you who jump behind the paywall really do keep this site running. It’s a ton of work, and that $5/month makes all the difference in the world. If you can spare it, join us?:
Here’s the scoop, kids:
Best Pride Events Near You! - I hope I did this right, but if you just click the link, it’ll take you to the list of the best Pride events happening over the next few weeks nearest to you. Find some, dress up fabulously, and go celebrate Love.
An Automata Warning From Carl Sagan - Carl Sagan was, is, and always will be one of my favorite humans to grace this planet. When he warned, YEARS ago about the state of things, we didn’t listen. Now, his warnings seem urgent, and even more terrifying. Watch.
6 Skills To Be More Mindful - Mindfulness is something I will drone on and on about, as one of the most underrated and critically important skills to hone. It transforms you, it transforms the world around you, and brings a calm that is so vital. Here are 6 skills to boost yours.
Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws And Why We Fight - Over 100 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been passed in only the last 5 years…HALF of them, this year alone. There is an attack on an entire community of people, people we celebrate this month (and should all damn year long), and we have to fight back, and keep fighting back. With votes, with protests, with action. Dig into this, and get fired up to drive the hate out.
Tornado Size Comparison - Having just returned from Kansas City and watching the clouds threaten this daily, tornadoes are fresh on my mind. This little comparison video really puts into perspective the jargon you hear on the Weather Channel when one finally hits. Now, you know exactly how afraid to be haha.
Haze It May Be (Redux) by Jeremiah Fraites - Pretty song, really f’ing pretty. This type of music, simple, quiet, understated, lyric-less, is oddly becoming my favorite genre.
Typewriter Series Silliness - More videos of me being an idiot. But, at least you get poetry read to you. Rad, right?
