ETERNAL SPRING Cherry Blossoms in Kyoto, Japan blossomed earlier than they have in the 1200 years records have been kept. Scientists believe it’s another sure sign of climate change. The Washington Post: The March 26, 2021, peak bloom date surpassed the previous record holder of March 27, 1409, nearly a century before Christopher Columbus sailed to America. The long-term record dates back to A.D. 812, about 12 years after Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor.
HARRY STYLES talks the destinations he’s most looking forward to performing .

TRUE CRIME The CEO and Editorial Director of Pride Media, award winning journalist Diane Anderson-Minshall posted on Instagram Tuesday: Historically, law enforcement has left queer and transgender people both over-policed and under-protected. In my interviews with the authors of three books about famous murder cases, The Advocate explores how anti-LGBTQ+ bias hampers police, the judicial system, and media investigations.

NEVER SILENT HIV-Activist and founding member of Act-Up Peter Staley’s classic memoir was given a cover and design he’s none-to-thrilled with. Staley wrote: “I should have read the small print. Having gotten away my entire life without reading contracts before signing them, especially when they are “pro forma,” I signed my first and definitely last contract with a publisher. Only recently did I find out that an author has no final say, contractually, in their own book’s title, subtitle, and cover design. Obviously, the publisher wants the author to be happy with the title & cover, but if they want to steamroll you over parts of it, they can. And they did. As I mentioned at the reading of ACT UP narratives that Sarah Schulman organized in Brooklyn last year, just before the lockdown, I wrote a “classic memoir—it’s about me, me, me—and it’s definitely not a history or analysis of ACT UP.” The publisher put ACT UP at the top of the subtitle. I went ballistic. The head of the publishing house probably hates me by now, and my editor has aged considerably during the fight. In the end, I lost. All that said, I’m happy with how it looks. But, sheesh, I do not understand this industry.”

The restaurant achieves in full and lives up Shannon’s belief that for anyone to reach their full creative potential, they have to be able to live an open and authentic life. “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it,” he says.
It’s a slogan L’Opossum and XXX FoodPorn XXX practically scream as loud as street activists used to.

On Monday Wheaton posted on Facebook: Does anyone have a PDF copy of my book Dancing Barefoot they can share with me? I’m trying to collect a story from it, and for some reason the original files didn’t get moved to this computer. I could go into the archives, but pirating my own work is so much more fun.
EDIT: Never mind. I found it. Turns out I am garbage at naming files.
