Hello, loves! I’ve spent the last week with a gaggle of young cousins I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic, and oh BOY, can kids ask questions! My favorite question was when the 11 year-old asked me what my dream boyfriend was like, and I told her I didn’t have one, but I might have a dream girlfriend. Without skipping a beat, she asked me what my dream girlfriend was like. The kids! They’re all right!

This week, Vallie wrote about the refuge of The Owl House.

Mostly I remember the don’t ask, don’t tell vibe. So glad the WNBA has embraced Pride and the players can be out.
