His name is Michael Kwan, he’s one of the only 8% of Utah’s judges who are people of color, and he’s been suspended 6 months with no pay.
Where is people’s free speech now?
Do I think the fisting tent at Pride is gross? Yes! Do I also think the concept of having a fisting tent in the middle of San Fransisco in broad daylight is fucking hilarious? YES! Pride isn’t fun without kinksters to look down on im sorry they have to stay!
Happy Pride, folks!
Americans use 500 million straws every single day with the majority of those ending up in our landfills and oceans. Here at Save The Turtles, we created a simple and effective method of reducing our reliance on plastic with our Collapsible Straw.
While the push continues to change how big restaurant chains and corporations operate, we must be the change we want to see. Without grassroots movements like this, companies would continue to operate under the premise that our oceans don’t matter. Make a small difference in your community by getting a reusable straw.
Here at Save The Turtles, our ultimate goal is to keep our oceans clean. In our pursuit to achieve this, beyond offering our reusable straws, we donate 5% of our profits to Sea Turtle Conservancy.
While straws are just the beginning, our team is hard at work designing more eco-friendly, reusable products to continue the push towards a plastic-free ocean.

I’m so excited I actually fell asleep! This calls all the stops! I need a new dress, a few dead roses, and of course new plugs! I regret nothing!
Raunculus flowers!
I don’t know if I was close with the spelling, but I love these flowers because they make think of ballerinas, kisses in the dark, and the roller coaster known as love.

This is absolutely beautiful.
So, I moved a month ago. Many of my books are still in mom’s cellar. Since I also started a new job, I didn’t have much time to read. (Did I make the reading log about Good Omens?) Today I took out this little precious.
I bought it in London two months ago. In a little lgbt+ bookshop called “Gay’s the word”. I am very much intrigued by anything Neil Gaiman writes, he has not disappointed me yet. But I was surprised to find his work in that particular bookshop. Not that he never mentioned any homosexual couples or played around with the genderfluid concept of Desire in the Sandman series, but I just never thought about it. The Sleeper and the Spindle is a fairy tale. But unlike most fairy tales it isn’t a prince or male hero that comes to the rescue of the damsel in distress. Instead we have the raven-haired queen and her three dwarf friends who try to reach the sleeping beauty. That in itself already made me smile.
As they journey to the enchanted castle to wake the princess, the dwarves mention that the queen had been asleep for a year before. At the first mention, I did not think anything about it. But when it came up again, I look at the black hair, considered the dwarves and went.. No, he wouldn’t. Why would Snowwhite play any part in this story? Why would she be a sort of warrior queen? And most of all how can she be a queen if she runs away from her wedding to go on this adventure? Shouldn’t she still be a princess?
When they reached the castle, the thorns were thickly grown and skeletons were hidden in them. The thorns did not part in honor of the true love coming to the rescue. The queen thinks fast and burns the old dead ones and uses her sword on the sturdier few.
They reach the tower room and find an old woman on the stairs trying to escape and a beautiful young girl on the bed. The queen kisses the girl to wake her and she does. But it turns out the young girl is not the princess, but the evil witch. The old woman once was the princess and had been forced to stay awake, so the witch could sleep and steal life energy from the sleeping people in the castle.
I liked this twist. At first I thought the old woman was the witch and that the counter spell forced her to stay at the princess bedside. But it felt off somehow. The old lady was weak, she seemed powerless. What eventually tipped me off, was her asking about the well-being of the king and queen after the rose bushes were burnt. I also liked that she did not regain her youth. Our heroic queen lifted her up and put her into the bed after they killed the witch. She made her comfortable and ordered the now awakened king and queen to look after the old lady, flat out telling them that they were saved by her.
Sometimes I don’t realize how many stereotypes I have. For example, I did not know that I expected love to be the cure to everything, until the rose bushes didn’t part. I did not realize that I expected there to be some romance, until the queen not only didn’t make any move on the princess but also ran away from her wedding. She didn’t see herself in that way of living. So she decided to leave.
There is indeed always a choice. Our Queen, who I am fairly certain is Snowwhite, decided to travel the lands. She didn’t want to rule her kingdom, neither did she want to marry. So she didn’t.
Sometimes you just have to do what feels right. Even if everyone tells you it is wrong.
After all, I got what I wanted from this story. A strong female character, a twisted version of a fairy tale and a moral. Nothing more I could ask for.
