The impacts to the Sierra are also going to be interesting. The snow levels will be quickly rising, possibly to above 7,000’. Lower levels with 1’- 3’ of snow will see the snow melting and possibly flooding creeks and causing mud flows. The rain falling on the deeper, higher… Show more

A good old fashioned Pineapple Express will be getting juicy all over us. The situation starting tomorrow and lasting for 7-10 days is not a good one.

Safety tips from an old queer:
Some of us are more visible than others, and that makes them less safe. Protect them 1st.
The most dangerous time is when you are leaving an event. Go in groups.
Carry weapons only if you can also fight/know how to use them well.
Learn to fight.

Yesterday at Drag Brunch we were told not to worry because we were safe from any hate crimes while we were in the building. What a time to live in. Our places of community are threatened by neo nazis & christians. Sometimes they are one and the same. 2023

I'm sure you've heard about a return to heavier rain & higher snow levels later this week. Hard to miss!
EURO Deterministic model was late to the rain party but it's latched on now. Warmer system arrives late THU into FRI. Location, intensity and duration all TBD. JAN Part 2?

Her propaganda helped inspired a shooting at a gay bar. Now she's been unmasked. Meet Dallas Humber.

Love the drag show argument.
"We must protect the children!"
"Cool, what about free school lunches, more paid time off for moms, supporting teachers, maybe help kids not get shot up as much at school?"
"Well, I'm not going to give handouts."
AND SCENE.

Spotted driving back to Columbia from Florence this morning:
a sporty compact Fiat 500 with truck nuts and a big beefy Toyota Land Cruiser with a Bernie Sanders for President bumper sticker.
It’s a great day in South Carolina! 😂

(4) Art has a funny way of making sense to us even when we don’t realize it at the time.
Anyways, thanks Billy Joe for making music that helped a young, queer kid escape. It helped me more than you’ll ever know.

(3) , “Well that can’t be how it is!”
Then years later I read Billy Joe was bisexual, and I was struck by how subversive that lyric was, talking about gay sex, similar to The Velvet Underground singing about a botched sex reassignment surgery in the 1960s.

(2) and while I hadn’t started questioning my sexuality until years later, the lyric:
“I went to a whore, he said my life’s a bore.”
And it stuck out to me, because I distinctly remember cosidering it literally that the singer was male and going to a male whore, and thinking:

Music, and art, is sure a funny thing. I’m listening to the “American Idiot” record, and this lyric reminds me of when I first heard Green Day’s “Basket Case” in 5th grade. (1)
