Carlos’ mother has taken to giving him recipes during their phone chats, and then he’ll tell me about them over dinner, but a lot of her recipes are lost in translation by the time Carlos starts to cook.

As we ate dinner one night, he told me of one of his mother’s recipes that included lima beans, pork, fresh corn and tomatillos, and so that's what he was serving; I looked down at my plate and said:

“This is that recipe?”

“Yes it is. I already had chicken out so I used that instead of pork. We didn’t have lima beans so I used rice. There was no corn or tomatillos so I used peppers and lemon juice.”

“You do know that this is not at all what your mother talked about, right?”:

“It’s similar.”

I await the release of his cookbook …

This Tuxedo Memory is from May  2011

“Caturday

There are places in our house where cats are allowed to be … on the bed .... on the couch in the sunroom ... on the couch in the living room ... on a kitchen table chair. There are not allowed on living room chairs ... or dining room chairs ... or counters.

Tuxedo, however, because he's so delicious, gets away with murder. He is allowed on the bathroom counter because he enjoys a sip of water from the faucet and he's allowed on one of the living room chairs if he's in my lap. And now, apparently, he has granted himself access to a dining room chair. There he is, peeking at me when I asked if he was hungry.

And here is, doing his Gargoyle impression from atop a living room chair. He doesn't use his front paws to hold on because he's been declawed … DO NOT DO THAT… so he looks like he's just hanging around.

He just looks so darned cute, that I looked the other way and ignored his infractions. luckily for us both, his Latino Daddy wasn't home.”

Yes, we had rules for the cats but how can anyone have resisted that punim?

Florida Department of Education [DOE] spokesperson idiot Caily Myers swears that “Florida does not ban books” but she can't explain the 300 books that were removed from Florida schools last year. Many of those books included LGBTQ+ content, like This Book is Gay by Juno Dawson, Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera, The Family Book by Todd Parr … and most recently  Christian, the Hugging Lion which contains not one single mention of sexuality, but conservative say it gives off gay vibes. Caily says:

“The list comprises information provided by each school district of the books they removed based on objections from a parent or resident of the county using their district’s process.”

Yes, in Florida if one single bigot is butt-hurt about a book it can be banned; oops, not banned, just removed from the school’s bookshelves never to be seen again.

Fuck you, Florida.

Hot Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård was recently spotted enjoying his time at a gay bar in Stockholm, where he went on a kissing spree…

Skarsgård enjoyed dancing at Club Backdoor—goddess do I love the names of gay clubs—where many fans recognized him and he was not bothered by the attention. In fact, he took photos with many fans, and even gave out kisses.

Skarsgård is a longtime LGBTQ+ ally and has used his platform to raise awareness for LGBTQ+ rights and issues, as well as be involved in charity events within the community.

Um, Alexander, we don’t have a gay club here in Camden, but if you’re in town, I have a cheek ready for a smooch.

Kennedy McDowell was already out as a gay man when Colorado State recruited him for their football team. The defensive end from Frisco, Texas, was featured as a gay football player in Frisco Style magazine, draped in a rainbow Pride flag, ahead of his senior high school season last October.

In fact, McDowell has been out since eighth grade and when it came time for some official team photos he once again draped the rainbow flag around his shoulders to express his pride in being an out gay man.

And there has been no outrage; maybe the times are a’changing?

This is model Tyson Dayley and while he is not technically a baker, he offers up some nice cakes; who’s interested?

Last week students at Oak Park High School in Kansas City elected Tristan Young, a transgender student, their homecoming queen. And that sent Libs of TikTok’s asshat Chaya Raichik searching for parents who were pissy about the student’s choice and she found two who ranted in emails:

“I’m appalled by NKC Schools’ [North Kansas City School District] continued support of the LGBT agenda. They not only indoctrinate children, but they are placing certain student populations over others.”

“As a woman, it breaks my heart to see these girls get passed over and a man stealing what is rightfully theirs. I’m broken-hearted because I know the students voted for him.”

The students voted for her because she was their choice and they aren’t bigots.

I have long had a crush on Peter Scanavino, ever since he first appeared on Law & Order: SVU;  he just floats my boat, but this isn’t about me, because you know how I feel: Would You Hit It?
