Hey little pinto beans, how are you? I am feeling so, so grateful for the folks I have in my life. My therapist and I (yeah, this just might become the “my therapist” section, it’s gonna be okay) were talking about how easy it is to ignore the plethora of good in your life and focus on the one thing that isn’t going well and how active gratitude might be the key to changing that habit. So y’all, I’m grateful for you! I’m grateful that you read my little ramblings here each week, I’m grateful I can find at least 10 good things each week to share with you, I’m grateful we have this cutie pie site to be with one another.
I know I’m not supposed to be sappy until the end, so let’s do the new before I start blubbering on y’all.
+ Actor/Writer/Wholesome Boi™ Brittani Nichols has released a pair of sneakers?! Cool Christmas present for your fresh foot loving pals, perhaps?

+ Remember when Olivia Wilde was angry at Delta for deleting the sex scenes from Booksmart? Well gaydies, you can now see lesbians lesbian on your next Delta flight over 90 minutes. Congrats comrades, we did it.
+ Blanche, a major Pokémon Go character is nonbinary!
+ Philadelphia’s mayor has signed three new bills protecting trans folks.
“The bills are a testament to the city’s continued commitment to centering the experience and safety of transgender, and gender non-conforming people,” Kenney said at the bill signing, according to KYW News Radio. “While we are proud of these achievements, we know there is much more we must build on and accomplish, and we are dedicated to meeting that challenge.”
+ Here are 15 podcasts for women, according to O Magazine.
+ Folsom Europe: Kink and Classical Music in Berlin
+ Spelman College has been gifted $2M to endow a chair in queer studies, the first ever for an HBCU.
+ Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ and some people like it some people don’t.
+ Mariah Carey is ready for her Christmas royalties, this year premiering a brand new video to her hit song with unreleased footage?!
+ Terminator: Dark Fate is the gayest Terminator yet.

Alright little beans, I hope you have the best week you can have. I hope you don’t have to talk to Deborah at the water cooler, I hope you don’t have to hear from the white guy who takes up 40 minutes of class discussion each week with “I’m just playing devil’s advocate here…”, I hope you get hugs. Did you know we need 8 hugs a day just for maintenance??? Consider this one of your eight. I love you and I’ll see you soon!!!
