How about all the ones you haven't answered yet? 😁

1. how long have you known you liked girls?

I’ve had an inkling for a very long time. I spent a lot of time dating men before I myself came out as a woman. I felt very predatory presenting male and dating women, it just felt wrong to me... shocker there with how men make me feel now. I always said I could have a romantic relationship with a woman but uncertain of sexual. Once I finally allowed myself to be myself though it came naturally and doesn’t feel predatory at all; besides the women who will not date me because I am trans. Society gets in my head and makes me feel like all cis women feel like I am a disgusting human being.

TL:DR Romantically, all my life. Sexually, about 3 years.

2. talk about the girl who made you realise you liked girls

This is gonna sound so dumb but.... my 7th grade English teacher. I honestly just feel like she was the first woman I met that made me feel understood and heard. I was never a joke in her class and she never looked at me like I was different, like so many others did. God that feels so dumb to say out loud.

3. are you in a relationship at the moment?

I most certainly am with the wonderful @latex-tiddettes.

4. do you have a crush at the moment?

Yes...... a couple.

5. describe your crush!

Can I just @ them? Is that too much?

So biggest crush. She’s a really cool girl. From what I can tell likes a lot of the same things I do; books, nature, adventure. Has amazing hair and a smirk that can kill any wlw. There’s this twinkle in her eyes like she knows she’s hot stuff cause she is. She’s really shy and has walls from being hurt but something tells me behind those is a really down to earth person who would be an amazing friend.

7. do you look/dress more masculine, feminine, or androgynous?

I tend towards more feminine and slightly Gothic. I’m far too afraid to attempt androgyny as a trans woman for fear of getting hurt in public but it’s what I would ultimately love if I ever muster the strength one day.

8. what’s your gaydar like?

Wait, that girl is gay? That’s exactly what it is like. Unless one of my best friends tells me I am oblivious.

10. intimidating girls or kind girls?

Both?

11. hugs or kisses?

I’ve answered this one before. It’s down there somewhere.

12. do you have an ideal ‘type’? what would they be like?

I honestly do not have a type. The only thing that is a must for me is my partner has to be non-pretentious. I tend to shy away from girls who think they are better than other people. We are all stardust darlin’, lighten up.

15. what’s the best thing about liking girls?

Soft skin and understanding. Omg girls are so soft and squishy and it’s fantastic. Estrogen, it’s a hell of a drug. But the understanding is beyond fantastic. Girls actually listen to you and don’t use you as often.

16. do you have any friends who are wlw?

Yeppers. I’ve got sooooooo many. I tend to surround myself with queer people.

18. do you like the lesbian flag?

I like the trans inclusive flag but wish it was more inclusive of POC still.

19. what was your first kiss with a girl like?

Honestly my first kiss with a girl is kinda blurred(?). I was dating someone who defined as non-binary and they decided to transition while we were dating so honestly I don’t remember our first kiss with her defining as she/her. It just felt very natural because we had already been kissing for so long. Honestly it was probably through a lot of tears and me reassuring her that I would love her no matter what.

20. who was your celebrity/fictional gay awakening?

Okay don’t judge me y’all but Janis (Lizzy Caplan) from Mean Girls always made me feel things.

22. who’s your favourite openly wlw celebrity?

Lily Freaking Tomlin

23. do you wear makeup?

Almost every day. I call it my battle armor. Without it I would probably be too afraid to be myself.

24. who was the first person you came out to (if you have)?

I didn’t really get to come out to anyone. Through a rather series of unfortunate events I was outed by a news media and hence my entire school and parents.

25. has anyone ever come out to you?

Yes. 3 people actually.

26. have you found a community of lgbt+ people?

I most certainly have and it grows every day. I love my community and hope it only grows and blossoms further.

27. do you have any older lgbt+ people you look up to?

Sadly, no. I would have killed to have someone like that in my life when I was younger though.

28. do you identify with butch/femme labels?

I tend to identify as femme but more and more I hate being defined to boxes and really all I wanna be is that person you can’t really tell if they are a boy or girl but it’s a fine line to blur as a trans woman so for the time being femme.

29. who’s your favourite fictional wlw?

Madame Vestra and Jenny (Doctor Who)

30. what experiences are you looking forward to having in the future (kissing a girl, going to pride, etc)?

I really hope I live to see the day the binary is broken. I would cry tears of joy that day. A day and age where children are not gendered at birth but free to express themselves however they want. I know it will not happen in my lifetime because as long as people remember it exist it will exist but yeah, a girl can dream right?

OMG, let's cast this. Oleander thrives best in growing zones 8-10, meaning practically all of the UK. Sweet Little English Town: Dame Judi Dench as our beekeeper, and Eddie Izzard ("Help,I'm covered in bees", look, it's just RIGHT THERE) or Michael Sheen as her sons who are slowly realizing there in an Arsenic and Old Lace situation and Oh Dear Mum Has An Interesting Hobby. In America, oleander grows mostly the south, cut off point around North Carolina and sweeps through Texas and up the west coast. Well goodness, we're just spoiled for choice. But my heart wants Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest from "Practical Magic" with Stockard's sizing-you-up-with-a-razor-sweet-smile and Dianne Wiest's cotton-candy dottiness that would just work beautifully. Of course, Sandra Bullock would need to be involved as their niece who absolutely is trying to get them to *stop* until, of course, some asshole needs a fucking honey cake. Cali: Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pine, and Kristin Bell's family have an amazing organic farm that is the pride of the local farmer's market, as evidenced by their excellent honey and beeswax candles, this amazing hand cream, a family recipe, as well as vegetables and fruit. #MeToo happens. Aunt Lilly Tomlin sweeps in, and thumps a recipe book from grandma FULL of interesting honey-related products on the kitchen table, takes one look at her sister, and raises an eyebrow. And that's how the kids find out that GRANDMA had an interesting hobby and a huge planting of oleander at her house (where Lilly lives) that was never cut down. They stand there, slack-jawed. "Being a starlet was pretty cutthroat," Aunt Lilly deadpans, flipping pages in the recipe book for a hand cream that was going to be the opposite of soothing and would likely cause a terrible rash. "And, Mom always had a little side hustle, honey and hand cream, so generous she barely made a dime, gifts and if there were a few rashes once in a while, or someone with tummy troubles right before auditions..... "...An irregular heartbeat," murmurs Chris, clearly reading side effects, flipping through the book. The siblings are quiet for a long, long time. Kristin furiously Googling and Chris paging through the recipes. "Did Grandma poison Alfred Hitchcock?" Kristen asks quietly. Jamie tilts her head, Lilly hums, and Chris thumps the book shut and snarls softly, "Good." ~~~~~~~ (Dame Judi Dench loves the woods and nature so much she might as well be a druid...or witch. I chose her sons based on their ability to be covered in bees and I think Judi and Michael AND Eddit would have fantastic mother/son bickering. David Tennant can be the clueless boyfriend.) (Janet Leigh of Psycho fame is Jamie Lee Curtis' actual mom. I just sorta....decided to fictionalize things a little and give her a different sister, because c'mon, after reading about how Hitch treated actors in general and women in particular...honey's too good for him, frankly. I admit I cast Jamie's children based on cheekbones, sass, and feminism. Also, Chris Pine is probably acting to support his organic garden. I cast Lily Tomlin because it's Lily fucking Tomlin. ) Also? I want Deadpool to get hooked on the entire poisonous product line (It makes his skin all tingly!) and resort to ever more ridiculous methods to obtain it. I can't stop writing these. I want one with Rita Morano as the Matriarch of a family. I have an appointment aaaaaack! Yay I can still write some. Hi.

So oleander - a relatively common pretty garden flower - is so incredibly poisonous that if you eat honey made by bees primarily fed on it, you’ll die. Ever since I learned that fact as a kid I’ve wanted to write a murder mystery about a charming little town where people start just, dying mysteriously, as people do in charming little towns I’m told, and eventually it turns out that the local Sweet Little Old Lady has been feeding her bees off the oleander in her sweet little cottage garden and giving the honey, in sweet little jars with ribbons and hand-written labels that have sweet little drawings of bees and flowers, to every damn bastard in this damn backwards town that she’s built a grudge against over the last 80 years

Did you know real Michael Jackson introduced me to Jane Fonda?

She lived near a lot of underground factories so she would allow me to sleep at her place and eat and shower and things in the summer.

I introduced her to Lily Tomlin whom lived two floors above her. I saw her in the movie Big Business so i recognized her in the elevator and she usually had something nice to say about my outfit or hair and i thought she would be a good friend for Jane because she was always alone or had an assistant with her. But mostly alone. So i knew they both needed a good friend.

They had ups and downs.

The next summer they wanted to be involved. So they followed me on the streets. Then they got in trouble by me and Michael and so Jane who was very physically fit felt danger one night. She said some creeper kept staring at her. So she wanted to call for Lily whom would dress as a street begger but wanted to scare him off first by yelling a male name. We were standing in front of Nathan's hot dog restaurant and they're called Franks. Instead of hot dogs or wieners. So we went with Frankie.

Jane did end up getting herself kidnapped we thought... She asked for a ride from the guy who was creeping and well he lied and said that he was there to help.

I was usually moving the girls from factory to factory so they could hide in the living facilities and not have to work. Let the men work and get the women under some kind of protection was my job until we could find them a way home. Sometimes I just took them to an all night Chinese restaurant and let them give information to the owners whom would find their families and I would stand at the front door watching traffic and 3 girls from the factory to watch the kitchen where the back door was. And their job was to cause a commotion and so i could go back and help them.

But the one night we all got in the van with Jane and he was a bad male. So I choked him with his seatbelt until he passed out.

Upon leaving the restaurant there was 4 guys. So i told Jane "get Lilly and return the girls, I'll meet you there, they know where to go"

I walked back to the white van and they said get in. They were looking to rape and saw i only took the girls to feed them.

I told them "you can have sex with Jane Fonda. Shes at the restaurant. Come back over there with me"

"But all the girls left"

"Jane's not a slave shes a free woman. She was paying the check." I said. She did check out the white van watching us. And they were about to pay

"Yeah,get Jane i picked her up but she left" said the still jacked up driver "but rape the bitch" he turned and saw me "YOU!!"

Luckily they didn't understand i was the bitch and we went

I left open the glass door to the Chinese restaurant. I never took men in there. Not at dark. Boys my age sure. On rare occasions but usually i said so before and Jane had told them about the white van so they already got the guns from behind the counter when i yelled "Run"

And they were dead before i took 2 breaths after And yelled "there's 2 at the van!". And i ran. Before i turned the corner i looked back to see our head chef kill them both.

"Thanks!" And briskly walked the half block to the short tunnel where the girls hid before work.

As i entered the hall it was dark and that wasnt unusual but it felt eerie. I thought may be because I was alone or because people just got killed. They were people after all i always told myself. And I tried to order deaths as sparingly as possible. Only if i was stared at a lot and got a bad suffocating feeling.

But it was Jane this time and i was thrown off. How could Jane had known? What has she been through to know such a bad thing existed on our Earth?

I was sad when i opened the door. So i was extremely startled to see Jane and Lily wielding brooms and mops to attack who went through the door. And my 3 girls blocking My way in.

I fell to my knees crying and angry because I cried and I cried in front of those girls whom got hurt the most in life. Whom still waited to return home. I still had 1/3 left and i knew their summer was harder than mine having ti wait to be saved. So i was angry at myself for crying in front of them.

I was crying for my friend Jane's knowledge and the anger and hate on my friend Lily's face which told me that she too knew too much about life's hypocrisy and pain. And for all the girls we had left and the ones that would be there the next summer.

I tried to explain what happened but I was a mess. So Jane grabbed me and told me to tell her and she would repeat it for them.

Soon we heard a banging of metal on metal

"The Pipe!" A girl shouted. It went down the wall near the ceiling

"The Grate!! Hes here! The chef! He rarely comes! It must be an emergency!"

"I had to kill 6 more and went around the block twice. So we have some time. I'll get the van out front and pack in as many girls as we can. Do you have someplace we can take them?"

"My apartment!!" Said Jane immediately without hesitation.

"Are you sure?"

I stood "this is Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin"

"We've met" he said in disregard "but are you sure they are safe?"

"I stay at Jane's all the time to help these girls. She usually stays in but this summer She wanted to help. Michael Jackson and i told her not to" and Darling Jane lowered her head "but she and Lily insisted and they have been watching our backs and ive missed that van completely and only seen the van in rhe alley when we've returned but I've acted friendly to it so They think we are on the same team. Like i wave and skip and act like we all are cool. Because i am returning them so why not?"

"Unfortunately Jane they know where you live and have deactivated many of the security cameras where yoh live including in the elevators which means we have time to get them in, fix the security cameras in the next daylight and then return them home slowly but surely like they are going out on a night on rhe town, complete with a limo and all. Unfortunately it will look like a whore house, are you okay with that?"

"Oh yes! Lets do it definitely! I don't care what it looks like! Lets get these girls safe abd off the streets!" She grabbed my shoulder "and her, too!" She smiled at me sadly apologetic "I'm sorry but you shouldn't be doing this either. You tell me and Lily but..." She just gave me a brave hug and let the words linger. I never felt so grateful for such a strong embrace. I never felt so much love filled with peace for such a long time. Later i had to ask her how she ever was taught to hug such a way.

Lily told me "We're old"

For the next 7 years they continued through out winter, summer, fall, and spring to free each and every enslaved young girl under those streets in their neighborhood until all the factories closed for lack of money.

Unfortunately the chef and his family was murdered right before Christmas in 1994 by someone named Nate, Junkyard Mate whom I killed in 1997.

His daughter hid, she was small, 4 years old and Lily found her. Quietly all these years Lily has raised her as her own and kept her safe from danger.

And they didnt give up. They kept working until no girl was held captive under the street and the Chinese restaurant finally closed in 1999.

Tonight they said that it's difficult to keep the emotions on a night like tonight in Albuquerque. They want to cry from sadness in looking in those victims faces. They want to be proud. They want to keep the spirit up with cheer and pride.

Its too hard, i can tell you this, it's impossible.

Every single face, every pair of eyes is a person. A person with pain and suffering. With bravery nothing can compare to.

And there's urgencies and emergencies every time you turn around.

But that familiar face, for me, that one voice I hear. The image of a survivor of a girl I knew way back when. For me to know they're alive after 30 years that's what takes me home. That's what small treat i get.

So a polite smile from someone coming from a factory where they have definitely been mentally and intellectually abused. That would melt my heart. It would be so difficult not to hug every single one.

In truth I miss being out there. But I'm not allowed to go as i am all POW here. I miss those streets, the brisk walks. The girls rushing behind me.

The time they caught Lily dressed as a man and beat her up. That was horrible. But that's how I learned to be proud

"Look at my fat lip!! Look what y'all did!! Just look will ya?!?!" I was scared i was like omg Lily they didnt mean to and she threw her arms in the air and shouted "VICTORY!!!" and requested hugs. And bounced down the street talking so loudly about how proud she was that they beat her up.

I lost my mind 50 different ways. She was so loud and we always walked in silence. She was proud? She needed ice and a bandaid and the hospital. She had cracked ribs and all. It was the middle of the group that attacked. I had the younger more timid ones with me because they knew to run behind to the back of the girls in the middle who would fight to defend and then the wiser ones at the back because they paid attention most. But no one would see them looking so much with the other girls in front of them.

So they're kicking her and a littke girl half as tall as me says "shes getting beat up, your friend"

Some back girls were trying to pull her out of the doorway she hid in so the other girls wouldn't keep attacking her.

"LILY!! OH NO LILLY!!" I ran leaving the small children in a group in the sidewalk

And a white van crept down to them "you need to get in"

"Stop them!!" I yelled at the girls for both situations and Lily was sitting up and holding her head "oh I'm dizzy"

And some girls ran to the little ones and said to line up against the wall that was a rule because it was furthest from the street and if they were kidnapped they had a longer chance to fight off the abductor and scream and people could see they were indeed being kidnapped.

So I yelled "we are just going to eat!! Fuck off!!!"

"I was just checking!"

"You need to go!!!" I recognized the dish boy from the restaurant. "Jesus Christ" i had a beat up Lily, couldn't see Jane and a row of terrified little babies aged 2 to 7. And a mess of pre teens that had no idea I wasn't an adult, couldn't drive and was only 6 myself, just really tall for my age, and i looked 20.

And I saw Jane sneaking down the street "Jane! I got an emergency!!" I yelled and she ran down and across the dark street at 3 am

"Okay let's get Lily. We will get to the Chinese and talk."

"What was that van?"

"Bus boy. No from the Chinese. He cleans the tables."

But Lily got up on her own. Limping. She showed the row of little girls her lip who said ew and grabbed each other in hugs and to hide. And they giggled. And Lily promised one day they would be able to beat her up like that too. And one girl stood out. "I need me to give you a hug"

And each girl hugged Lily and said she was sorry.

And one older girl held back because my head spun and i thought maybe she was an inside trader. She was. And i apologized to her and gave her a hug because I dead punched her in the face for stomping Lilly when 2 other girls were pulling her off and I was in front. "I want to run. I'm an inside trader. I wanted the girls to work. But now i want to go home. I wws going to tell on you for what you really did. But now i can't. Because look at Lilly. Look how strong and brave she is. And proud. Proud of me. Praising. And i don't deserve any" she hung her head down as I held her by her elbows. The still silence between us. And over my left shoulder I heard Lilly "then run. Go. Be free. Go to your family."

"I don't know where they are" but she turned in my hands to walk away, tears bursting wt her eyes. So i grabbed her. I threw my arms around her and whispered over her left ear. "You still need to eat. Come let's go. I'll hold your hand tonight, too"

"Okay"

She left, that girl did. That very same night on Greyhound bus. In her town the cops kidnapped. And they tried. And every time she was stopped. She fought them just like she fought Lily.

And every time she thanked God Lily was there that night She lost her wit.

I thank God, too.

....

And so all of you all over the world, working so hard to save lives. Each and every single one is invaluable. Priceless.

And the way you can change their lives is immeasurable.

So yes. It has Its ups and downs. 500 downs and 35 ups an hour, or more or less.

It isn't easy. But just respond appropriately. As best as you know how to, even if you don't like it. Even if you throw yourself on the ground crying because knowing too much is too difficult.

The girls told me "I've never seen you cry before. I've been here 3 years. Sometimes i worry about you because I know you take heart medicine. And you rarely smile or talk. Just every now and then. But you smile every day at every door way but it isn't happy. Its a promise that one day we will be. And you come take my friends away every summer. And i never thought you cared. You just did your job and kept running, but i didn't know why. And now i do." And she picked me up at my elbows and said "now the Chinese are here and they have come to save us. And we will all hold hands and be a chain gang because that is what we are. And we will pray. It's what we do when we are alone"

And they did. And they stood around me and prayed and i felt lifted. I felt magic in their prayer. I felt the good in the girls I nightly as i could took them to eat to find out if the private detectives found them their homes.

And it was after that that i was able to grab a map and point to a place and tell a child "you are from here"

Because of an intensely strong prayer from a girl whom waited 3 years to find her home. Because she never told. She wanted to be the last to go. Mallary Viceroy.

She wanted to make sure all girls returned home. She did once or twice to visit.

But now she works still, as a ghost with a strong spirit.

She hasn't gone to Heaven often. She knows she's needed here.

It is for girls like her that I will never quit.

And so I hope the world continues to fight so She can return to life and finally have the peace she deserves. And a home with her family and friends.

*****Another victim of John Wayne Gacy was recently identified as Jimmy Haakenson, a Minnesota runaway.

*****The Rockford Peaches are being celebrated . July 27 brought hundreds of girls and women to Beyer stadium in Rockford to play. Some of the 40’s and 50’s peaches were in the movie “A League of Their own” ,that sparked a resurgence in interest. Also in the works just across the street is The International Women’s Baseball Center.

***** Did you ever notice how often Kroger products are used on television? I am forever seeing their store brand in scenes across many networks in many scenes. I think it is because they have a very generic look.

They closed parks and beaches due to financial constraints. He used a beach that had been closed to the rest of the state for his 4th of July celebrating. He basically told the people that if they were Mayor, they could use the mayoral house to do it themselves but they aren’t. The only good it seemed to do was the fallout helped him reach a decision about the budget so things could reopen.

*****Jawara Mcintosh, son of Peter Tosh, is in a coma after being beaten in a New Jersey jail.

*****OMG: Does everyone know that the NRA lobbied to be sure that there is no central electronic database for gun records? When police are requesting registration on a gun after an incident, the centers 50 employees must search thru microfilm or boxes of paperwork. How do they sneak this stuff in without alarms being raised? We must pay attention!! Let’s change this for the cats at the ATF tracing center.

*****Germany has legalized same sex marriage.

*****VP Pence tells us: “Under President Trump, American security will be as dominant in the heavens as we are here on earth.”

*****Hobby lobby owners are putting together a Bible museum. They were caught smuggling black market antiquities out of ISIS territory. They claim stupidity but were warned before they even started this venture. Luckily, the artifacts were intercepted by the government and returned.

*****Hooray for Ronan Farrow and others who are working hard on the voter ID mess. Conservative politicians need to quit targeting minorities and the poor and just let us all vote. Let’s just keep things fair, is that too much to ask?

*****I am intrigued by the ads for the new show Guest Book on TBS.** People of Earth is back!!

*****The Government ethics director, Walter Shaub resigned. He claims there were many conflicts of interest and the White house fought him every step of the way. He has seen nothing like it in any republican or democrat administration.

*****HBO’s tour de Pharmacy was funny and had so many famous faces. The faux doc included references from Arby’s to a small misshapen penis and was narrated by Jon Hamm. The cast includes Mike Tyson, Will Forte, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Bacon, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Freddie Highmore and Julia Ormand. I was a bit uncomfortable at the Lance Armstrong stuff. He was worth a chuckle at first but it got old. I admit that he is not my favorite person. I guess you gotta take the $ where you can.

*****The History channel ran a doc about Amelia Earhart. The claim was that there was a pic that may be Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan after she disappeared. This leads one to believe that they were taken prisoner by the Japanese. A history blogger disagrees , saying that the photo is from a book published 2 years before they were lost in 1937.

*****The impeachment marches seemed to get zero coverage. There were a few small mentions a couple of days later but for the most part they were ignored. I am so glad I was there. The people are speaking. The media needs to stop bending over backwards not to poke the bear and let us speak! I am glad the media is making us aware of all the lies going on in the White house. It would be refreshing to get away from the talking heads once in a while and take it to the grass roots resistance growing. Hasn’t this been part of the problem all along? Isn’t this what everyone bitched about right after the election?

*****Volvo will go totally electric or hybrid starting 2019.

***** The Emmy noms have been announced with some surprises. The biggest travesty is no nod for Michael Mckean for Better Call Saul. Some nominations were well deserved though. Lead actress drama should go to Keri Russell but Elisabeth Moss and Viola Davis are awesome as well. Some of my other faves were Bob Odenkirk and Matthew Rhys for actor in a drama. Big little lies brought 2 lead actress picks for Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon but Feud has to win for either Jessica Lange or Susan Sarandon or both. Feud is loaded with noms for costumes, director, music, hair, and supporting actor for Stanley Tucci, Alfred Molina, Judy Davis and Jackie Hoffman. Rupaul is the only thing going in the reality category. In comedy there is Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as well Julia Louis Dreyfuss and a lot more for Veep and Atlanta. Jeffrey Tambor, Zack Galifinakis and Donald Glover are my tops for comedy acting. The best in drama are Better Call Saul, Stranger Things , The Americans and The Handmaids tale. Variety is a tough category with Full Frontal, Kimmel, the Late Show, the late late show, Last week tonight and Real Time. The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks and Dolly’s Christmas movie are both up for a vote. Voice animation has Kevin Kline, Kristen Schaal and Nancy Cartwright. Animated shows include Archer, Bob’s Burgers and the Simpson’s. Bill Nye saves the world, Drunk History , SNL and Portlandia are up for production design. American Horror Story: Roanoke only got a couple for hairstyling, sound editing and prostetic makeup. Supporting acting comedy is hard to pick with Louie Anderson, Tony Hale and Alec Baldwin for the men and Vanessa Bayer, Leslie Jones, Kate Mckinnon, Judith Light, Kathryn Hahn and Anna Chlumsky for the women. What? Another travesty, o love for Keenan Thompson? Guest actor include Carrie Fisher, Melissa McCarthy, Wanda Sykes, Tom Hanks, Dave Chappelle and Matthew Rhys.I am all the way with Alison Wright for guest acting in drama. The host category has Snoop and Martha, Alec Baldwin , Rupaul and W. Kamau Bell. Variety specials and sketch shows are filled with genius like Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, Colbert’s election night and Documentary now! In the documentary category there is The Beatles :8 days a week from Ron Howard. Informational specials Inside the actors studio, Leah Remini: scientology and star talk: Neil deGrasse Tyson are nominated. Good luck to all!

*****Ken Burns is bringing us The Vietnam war in September which took 10 years to make.

*****Kid Rock has announced a senate run.

*****Jimmy Carter is out of the hospital after he suffered from dehydration. He was working on a house in Canada for habitat for humanity.

*****Word is that the ratings for the new Kelly and Ryan show are not too good, the same with Megyn Kelly’s new NBC show.

*****Sturgis is back on August 4 in South Dakota.

*****HBO is bringing us a doc on Steven Spielberg that is narrated by the man himself. Susan Lacy is director and producer of the project.

*****If you haven’t seen the funny or die with Al Franken and David Letterman, you must check it out. Look up years of living dangerously: Boiling the frog.

*****Fox likes to pretend that scary clown is more of a leader than he really is. They kept running a scroll across the bottom as the G-20 was going on that ‘Trump presses Putin on meddling.’ Did he really? We will never really know and if he did, it was just for show because he is adamant that he just wants to move on. Putin tells us that Trump accepted his version of events. This is really no surprise since scary clown attacked his own intelligence community on foreign soil and said that he was honored to meet Putin. The man is SO Putin’s bitch.**After Trump tweeted that he and the Russian President had talked of a joint impenetrable cyber security unit, he got much backlash. John McCain and Kyle Griffin both stated that Putin should be good at that since he is the one doing the hacking. The President talked a lot about faith in his speech in Poland. As he gets older does he think more about these things as age can make you do or does he shield himself with it? **Ivanka sat in for her Father at some of the summit. It did not seem that the other leaders were too big on seeing him anyway. I don’t think Trump has the confidence to talk with the big timers anyway. He seems to be more of a one on one guy which was what he was doing.**Of course we then learn that there was a second private meeting and who knows what that was about.**On June 25th the House backed a new package of sanctions against Moscow, North Korea and Iran. The bill prohibits scary clown from waiving penalties.** Russia has already retaliated by seizing American diplomatic properties and ordering the U.S. embassy to reduce staff.

*****Don Jr. has now been caught in multiple lies about the Russian lawyer they met with on trying to find dirt on Hillary. How many times will this family and their team lie to us?? There were more people there than they originally told us including a lobbyist that was ex counter intelligence. They claim that candidate Trump had no idea of the situation. Do they think we will believe that? We are in fact now hearing that he orchestrated his son’s response. Is Trump that stupid or does he just play an idiot on tv? Will he sacrifice his own son? Why is it that Manafort and Kushner are never far away from the trouble? The team tries to act like this Russian mess is something anyone would do. They are so far removed from honor and decency that they do not seem to know any better. They have no idea how real people operate.** We have soldiers on the Russian border that are protecting people from Russia and these yahoos think it is perfectly fine to work with them to fuck up our democracy.** BTW, The President can’t pardon someone on state or foreign charges but he can pardon on federal charges . Could all of the liars get away it? ** How long will the “we are stupid and know what we do” excuse work for these Trump voters? Who can still support a family that just keeps lining their own pockets with their clout? ** The Don Jr. legal fees are being paid in part by the 2020 Trump campaign funds. The President wants the RNC to pay the rest. ** Kushner has now been speaking casually with the feds. He came out to make a small speech after the first day that told us how innocent he was. Scary clown and his fam seem to love the country waiting for their every move.

*****Saw this on a site and wanted to share:

Parable of the talents by, Octavia E. Butler

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought

To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.

To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.

To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.

To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

*****Teen birth rates have declined 9%, the lowest ever.** About 3 ,000 women from other states come to Illinois each year for abortions.

*****Jodie Whittaker will be the first female Dr. Who as she becomes the 13th Doc.

*****I hear that the packet received when someone takes the oath to become an American citizen still has a letter from Obama. I guess the new administration hasn’t had time to think about welcoming new Americans.

*****The hit show, Insecure is back for another season.

*****PBS has a new season of Finding your Roots. They have already revealed that Larry David finds out that Bernie Sanders is his distant cousin.

*****Employees in a Ford plant in Ohio found a mil in weed from cars that were assembled in Mexico.

*****A show on the History channel is trying to answer the questions that have come up in recent years about H.H. Holmes being Jack the Ripper. The grandson of America’s first serial killer is leading the charge and he seems a bit disappointed whenever they hit a wall. I guess if you already know that your Grandfather was a killer, what’s a few more? The program drags everything out as these History channel shows tend to do as they repeat themselves over and over. Sometimes when they get some info, I wonder why they only follow part of it. For instance, they tested the DNA which MIGHT have belonged to a victim. The DNA did not match the grandson but did they put their findings in a database to see if there is some familial match elsewhere? They could possibly find out this way if the scarf was indeed at the crime or if the DNA belonged to later handlers of the scarf.

*****Joel Clement, former director of the office of policy analysis and the U.S. interior has been moved to the advisory office of natural resources revenue. He is one of fifty who this administration moved on June 15. He is a scientist who helps endangered Alaskan communities. Joel speaks out publically about climate change and believes this is an open and deliberate effort to silence scientists and eliminate employees that disagree with them. He is now officially a whistle blower.** It seems to me that having Trump as President is like having a really shitty Father. The family just has to go out and find their own way and we must keep trying to get him out. Until then, the Governors, the Mayors and the rest of us have to figure out our own ways to save the planet and help others in spite of him. We must counteract all the damage he is causing. Think of the children that will be scarred with all this chaos by these ‘children’ that are trying to run the country.

*****So, again there have been alleged shady police doings. Every time a cop plants evidence or does not turn on a bodycam we lose faith. Law enforcement has such a hard job and we want to believe they will be there for us. They are supposed to be taking care of us and I am sure most officers are people we can look up to but these bad seeds must be made to pay.

*****It is so strange that John McCain is fighting for his life as we are tackling this whole health care mess. He has great health care and we all wish him well. Do he and his Republican cohorts want us to have the same? Why don’t we all deserve the same chance? A perfect example is right in front of them and they should all pay attention. I think most of them believe in God. Could this have been sent as an example? The ACA has worked wonders, let’s fix what isn’t working and quit obsessing over repeal and replace. Many Democratic senators are trying to get to infrastructure and other bills. It is unbelievable that we pay these people and give them awesome insurance while they have been obsessed with this health care subject and losers in it for all these years. Who keeps voting them in??** Before they all get their long August vacations , our lawmakers voted to begin debate for repeal and replace. In the end all their votes failed and McCain cast the decisive ‘no.!’ We must not forget to thank Collins and Murkowski who were in there all the way. If it somehow hurts their manhood to call something that may be a good thing, ’Obamacare,’ then call it the ACA. History will give Obama credit even if they don’t want to and I don’t think he will care what it is called now as long as it helps people.** Word is coming out that Republicans used tax payer funds to denigrate Obama’s health care bill.

*****People of Earth is back from Conaco on TBS.

*****The podcast ‘You must remember this” is concentrating on Jean Seberg and Jane Fonda this season and their similar lives. It is a fascinating look at the beautiful and talented actresses.

*****Norm Macdonald’s podcast recently featured a great interview with Letterman.

*****The Borg/McEnroe movie starring Shia LaBeouf will open the Toronto film fest.

*****The new obsession for Trump is the incompetence of Jeff Sessions.

*****Do you ever think about the fate of the many extras/actors that we’ve seen a thousand times in the opening credits of famous shows? How about the nurses running in M*A*S*H or the people on the streets of Chicago on The Bob Newhart show? We see them again and again from the singing and dancing on The Drew Carey show to the photos on Law and Order. We do not know these people but they are a part of our life? Hats off to them!

*****American Horror Story : CULT will premiere on Sept. 5. Season 7 will add Billy Eichner, Billie Lourd and Lena Dunham along with regulars Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, Mare Winningham and Frances Conroy. Twisty the clown is back in a story inspired by the 2016 election. The first teaser was fab and a bit Pink Floyd: the Wallish and is set in Michigan.

*****Kevin Spacey will play Gore Vidal.

*****People have been talking a lot about the recent viral videos of a woman killing her sister and the boys who let a man drown while making fun of him. These things have been around forever with “entertainment” like Faces of Death and snuff films. Things have become more main stream with social media but one can’t help but think of the final Seinfeld episode. The prosecution of the Seinfeld four when they laughed at the fat man getting robbed was like seeing the future.

*****A lot of military personnel are claiming there is a lot of extra training going on. Is something big being planned as we argue about the other stuff in front of us? ** Scary clown tweeted to us all about how transgender military personnel have no business being there. He talked with his Generals but he did not say they agreed with him. He complained of the “tremendous” medical costs but studies show that 5 times as much is spent on Viagra.

*****OJ Simpson was moved to a more secure part of the prison after he learned he would be set free later this year. Rumors are spreading that he will tour with his former victim that spoke at his hearing.

*****Sean Spicer resigned after Anthony Scaramucci (who some call a cartoon Guido) was named communications director. Ivanka and Trump met with ‘the Mucc’ for an hour and a half and then Trump called him many time before this all came down. Sara Huckabee Sanders is the new press secretary. A friend said that if Melissa McCarthy took on Spicer on SNL then it makes sense that a man should do Sara. BTW, what was with Scaramucci giving Sara hair and makeup advice? WTF? Word is that Preibus fought it all the way but he is kissing ass all over the place now. The whole affair got us our first on air briefing in 22 days. I can’t help but wonder how Spicer feels to be a lil’ blip of a joke in history. **Scaramucci deleted many old tweets he had praising Hillary and supporting stronger gun laws as well as putting down Trump and climate deniers. He is also kissing his new Messiahs bottom all over the place. The new guy acts just like his boss with an expletive filled interview that puts down everyone around him. I don’t feel a bit sorry for Priebus or Sessions, they knew what they were in for. These tactics make the loyal evangelicals look like the mob. They will sell their soul and put up with this crap to get rid of the transgender soldiers and Planned Parenthood. Trump seems to like an opportunist and is probably happy to have a new hate buddy.** This month in the circular firing squad, part of Trump’s legal team , Mark Corallo was out then Sr. asst. press secretary Michael Short was out, then Reince Preibus was out . General john Kelly is the new White House chief of staff after Preibus served the shortest term I history. Kelly was first offered the position in May.** As I post this, we have learned that Scaramucci is out.

*****Some Scary clown supporters are crowing about low gas prices and low unemployment numbers but who do they think set all that in motion. Some would argue that Presidents don’t often have much to do with gas prices. But I wish they would say what we all know , that Obama was the one who sorted out the last Republican fallout. ** And right wing pundits.. Could I ask you to please stop calling the middle of the country ‘Trump country?’ We are smarter and more diverse than you think.** BTW, heard a great line this week which is essentially the meaning of the word bully. “Trump acts like a weak man thinks a strong man should act.” I thought that hit the nail on the head.

*****They say Trump is looking into the pardon process and exactly what his limits might be in other areas as President. The conclusions of Ken Starr’s office about Presidential prosecution say, “It is proper, constitutional and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting President for serious criminal acts that are not part of, and are contrary to the President’s official duties. In this country no one is above the law.” Noting the constitution’s speech or debate clause: “If the framers of our constitution wanted to create a special immunity for the President they would have written the relevant clause.”

*****Dhani Harrison will release a solo album on Oct. 6.

*****Mick Jagger turned 74 with the release of 2 new songs, Gotta get a grip and England lost. He needed to get out his own anxieties about the new world we are all living in.** Publisher John Blake claims he has an 80’s memoir written by Mick but that he is not allowed to publish it.

*****Sarah Silverman is bringing ‘I love you America’ to Hulu on Oct. 12.

*****Scary Clown 45 promised to bomb the shit out of ISIS. He has been doing a lot of air attacks which are not much talked about. In these attacks almost as many civilian deaths have occurred as in all of Obama’s time in office.** We are only 5% of the world population, quit acting like we own the fuckin’ universe!

*****American white supremacists are funding Europe’s white nationalists to try to take over border control themselves. A ship was chartered called the C-star by a group calling themselves Generation Identity. The group claims they want to deliver Muslim immigrants from the Mediterranean back to the Middle East. Beginning in France, the group has spread to Italy, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany. They say they want to defend Europe and Davis Duke has tweeted out a link to their fund raising page. They are using maritime law as an excuse to come to the “aid” of the immigrant boats.

*****How creepy was this whole Boy Scout jamboree speech? It does not get more wrong than that.

*****NBC Sports has signed Dale Jr. as a commentator.

*****Paris Jackson and Macauley Culkin got matching tattoos the other day.

*****2018 will bring us new comics of Nightmare before Christmas.

*****R.I.P Loren James, John Blackwell Jr., Nelsan Ellis, Sheila Michaels, Theresa Poehlman, Fresh Kid Ice, Maryam Mirzak Hani, Neil Welch, George Romero, Martin Landau, Chester Bennington, Liu Xiaobo, Irina Ratushinskaya , Michael Johnson, Leonard Landy, June Foray, Barbara Sinatra, Stubbs the cat (Mayor of Talkeetna, Ala.), Jeanne Moreau, Sam Shepard and John Heard.
