It’s Sunday! Again! Time keeps on ticking… I will be 99 years old and still never get over that. Anyway, we’re two weeks away from the greatest holiday of the year (my birthday), we’ve finally reached Gemini season, and Spring is in full bloom all over North America. I hope you’re well and are resting. I hope you feel loved and cared for. I hope you’re as ready and excited about all the good news this week as I am!

I’m a bit confused about the inclusion of the “Queer Times” article here. The article itself seemed, at best, pretty dismissive of identities that don’t fall into rigid categories. (For instance, the assertion that a woman’s feeling like “part of the family of queers and trans people” (instead of identifying as a lesbian) “looks like a barely adequate consolation prize” seems presumptuous, and it feels pretty insulting to those of us who don’t identify with a clear-cut label and love the ambiguity!) And the website where the article was published looks like it publishes some more overtly anti-LGBTQ articles. I mean, I fully respect your right to include any links you want here! I was just surprised to see this in a roundup that’s typically focused on more fun and celebratory types of articles.
took it out!
That picture of a person in a tank top was not what I expected to see in the vest article!
when i first saw the article i thought it was about tank tops bc that…is not a vest????
I had a friend who referred to tank tops as vests. Maybe a British term for them?
Yes that’s a British vest ( not a tank-top which is different) and not a waistcoat
”your” vest!
I’m with you on team tank tops are not vests!
When I was about 19, back in ’07,I would go to these queer parties and about half of the women would wear dark jeans with a studded belt, white t shirt and a dark vest. Combined with the Justin Bieber hair of that era. One or two plain silver rings. It was like a uniform!
OMG the Solitaire screen just brought back so many memories !!! 😂
