One of the things I’m best known for online is my status as a “late-bloomer” lesbian (also known as a “later-in-life” lesbian or, my personal favorite, which I made up, “late-to-the-party” lesbian)—i.e., someone who came out past their childhood/teen years. Not only did plenty of people watch me go through that messy progression and a divorce in real time, but also, now that I’m past the most difficult parts of coming out later, I make a lot of content about it.

Exactly this. Sex is closely related, via human physiology, to defecation, which is instinctively, likely innately, disgusting for obvious hygienic reasons. This is true even for people like me, who have absolutely zero issues - that could be considered moral - with Aella, or any kind of safe consensual sex, or any kind of hobby or entertainment in general. Like scat? Great, you do you! I'm sure it's perfectly harmless with modern hygienic practices and scientific knowledge.

Welcome and blessings to all my new and existing subscribers! Here is some beautiful African history worth sharing. I am sending out two posts to cover for the delays in my posting schedule :-) How much do you know about Queen Amanirenas -The 2nd Kandake of Kush (Present-day Sudan)? Were you taught about her Power, Leadership, and military might? Queen Amanirenas, also known as "Kandake," was the Queen of the ancient African Kingdom of Kush/Nubia (present-day Sudan)

Thanks for reading! If this newsletter helps you make sense of our complex world of 8 billion people, I hope you’ll consider becoming a paid subscriber, buying my latest book, or hosting me as a speaker for your organization. And if you’re just a casual reader, I’m still very glad you’re here, and thanks! Earlier this week, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni hosted a summit on stopping irregular migration from Africa to Europe.

On Saturday, thanks to a showing at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History to mark its 30th anniversary, I had a chance to see Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List on the big screen, for I believe the first time since its initial theatrical run. I have seen the film on television and otherwise in the years since, but never in a theater since 1993.  When Schindler’s List first came out, I was 15 years old.

Warning. This post gets into detail about a case of self-harm. If you’re in a vulnerable state, take care. If you’re at risk of harming yourself, please skip to the end of this post and contact one of the services described there. Recently, a Belgian man named Pierre took his own life. His wife and psychotherapist believe – with good evidence – that a chatbot encouraged him to do it.

During their first tour, Steely Dan played four concerts as the opening act for an unexpected headliner: musical comedy duo Cheech & Chong. “They were kind of afraid of us, because they were, like, these nerdy musicians,” Tommy Chong told me recently, recalling the March 1973 shows at the Westbury Music Fair in New York and the Shady Grove Music Fair in Maryland. The 85-year-old chuckled at the memory like a stoned surfer.

Our Dallas “Love Is Blind” crew has officially returned to the small screen. And with them they brought some drama, some laughs, some true clubwear-at-brunch *lewks*, and a lingering question: When the hell was this thing filmed? Here are a few things we knew: Bartise said on Instagram that he had filmed three shows — “LIB,” “Perfect Match” and “After The Altar” before any of them aired. They repeatedly reference it being a year since the weddings on “After The Altar,” and we know that filming wrapped on the original show in June 2021.

We find ourselves in a strange cultural moment. For years, conservatives (and many evangelical Christians, my tribe) have rightly opposed “open borders” ideology of the globalist species. Against the idea that countries cannot limit immigration in any way, many have rightly argued that immigration must be carefully overseen. Christians welcome strangers per Leviticus 19:33-34 and other texts, but we do not make the leftist mistake of thinking that countries can offer open borders and unguarded territory.
