Every so often Carlos likes a little hot chocolate late at night, and I will have some as well because it knocks me out when I go to bed. But I may have found a new sleep aid: science. See, there are times, as we’re chatting before going to sleep that Carlos will talk molecules and DNA and science, and the other night I said to him:

“This is better than the chocolate, because it puts me right to sleep with no sugar or calories.”

Now there are three sleep aids in our house: hot chocolate, science and bad jokes.

This weeks’ Tuxedo is from December 2009, when he decided to sit in the guest room and gaze out the window.

A lot of you commented on how regal Rosita looked in some of her photos the other day, and when I checked this blog post people had also commented on Tuxedo’s regal-ness.

He was a good poser, and she is a good poser.

Remember Christian Cooper? He was the Black man birdwatching in Central Park when a Central Park Karen—Amy Cooper, obviously no relation—called 911 to say he was threatening her.

Well, Amy Cooper lost her job, but this week while Christian Cooper got a new one … as host of National Geographic's new show "Extraordinary Birder".

Karma.

PS Christian is a hottie.

A friend of mine just started working at an, ahem, “adult” store. After his first few hours on the job, his boss said he needed to leave and asked my friend if he could manage the store and he agreed. A few minutes later white woman comes in:

"How much for the white dildo?"

"$35."

"How much for the black one?"

"$35 for the black one, $35 for the white one."

"I think I'll take the black one. I've never had a black one before."

She pays him, and off she goes. A while later a Black woman comes in:

"How much for the black dildo?

"$35."

"How much for the white one?"

"$35 for the white one, $35 for the black one."

"Hmmm...I think I'll take the white one. I've never had a white one before..."

She pays him, and off she goes. About an hour later a young blonde woman comes in and asks:

"How much are your dildos?"

"$35 for the white, $35 for the black."

"Hmmmmm....how much is that plaid one on the shelf?"

"That's a very special dildo...it'll cost you $165."

"I'll take the plaid one, I've never had a plaid one before...." 

She pays him, and off she goes. Then the boss returns he asks my friend how everything went and my friend says:

"I think I did good, I sold one white dildo, one black dildo, and I sold your thermos for $165!"

Could’a happened.

After The North Face, an outdoor clothing, footwear, and equipment chain, released its new Pride month collection, which included a video featuring drag queen Pattie Gonia, a bunch of snowflakes MAGAts got their grannie panties in a  twist and complained on social media and threatened a boycott; The North Face isn’t here for that and responded with:

“The North Face has always believed the outdoors should be a welcoming, equitable and safe place for all. Creating community and belonging in the outdoors is a core part of our values and is needed now more than ever. We stand with those who support our vision for a more inclusive outdoor industry.”

The North Face noted that their Summer of Pride series is now in its second year and has helped “individuals from all backgrounds” experience the outdoors.

Because the outdoors is for everyone.

PS Target? This is how it's done.

I do pick on Carlos but I love the man madly and I love when, given his eyesight issues, he finds something new.

This week the Foundation Fighting Blindness sent him a books on tape reader and all he needs to do is check their website, order up to three books at a time and they are sent to the house, After he listens to them, he puts them back in the box and mails them back, all at no cost.

Carlos loves to read, loves knowledge, and that was one of the things he’s missed dearly in the last few years so my joy at his being able to “read” again is only exceeded by his joy.

Need another reason not to vote for Ron DeSantisFascist? Try this …

There was a mass shooting on Memorial Day in Florida that left nine people, including children, wounded, yet DeSantis, campaigning in Iowa, failed to utter a word about it. He has not said a word on his Twitter accounts, has not posted a statement on his government website, and it does not appear he has spoken to reporters about it.

His campaign is more important than dead Floridians.

PS Ron DeSantis signed a permit-less carry bill in April that removes requirements for background checks, instruction, training &oversight.

PPS The shooter was not, I repeat not, a drag queen, which DeFacsist thinks is the greatest threat to the US.

Charly Poirier was born in Paris and is a fashion model and a social media influencer, though the big question is: Would You Hit It?
