Pride Gear You Can Take the Cost of, Multiply by Two, and Donate That to a Bail Fund

Many smart writers are urging me to avoid BLACK & WHITE, a newish film with very old fashioned white family values. My favorite is Ijeoma Oluo in Seattle's alt weekly click to grin )

Almost every wheelchair user is admonished to "drink plenty of fluids." But as Cupholders break. Here's one that doesn't )
