Quakers, Hummingbird Fly Zones, and Queers
One of these things is not like the other. But it isn't Quakers.
We Think He Might Be a Boy is a sensitive and loving article from the mother of a transgender child. By the time the child was 2, she knew that her biological daughter thought of himself as a boy ( Read more... ) -
When I'm pissy and don't know why.
When I'm pissy and I don't know why, I eventually figure it out. Usually it's about financial uncertainty or missing people, and today it's about missing people ( Read more... ) -
It's great when old things stand up to the test of time
