[…]But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these...

Hidde hosted an AB meeting this week in his home city of Rotterdam. I’m grateful that the heatwave had broken before I got there. I missed the first half-day—I had been in Geneva that morning, and only got to AMS in the early afternoon. Fortunately, the airport is only about a half-hour’s train ride from Rotterdam...

I spent the first half of this week in Geneva for Ecma. After getting in Sunday night, Aki and I prioritized finding a place with air conditioning where we could catch up—Switzerland was at the tail end of a brutal heatwave, and I’ve been living under Karl too long to handle any kind of sustained heat well. I was...

Pride was a bit truncated for me this year. Eryn, EJ, and I went to the Trans March on Friday and (part of) the Dyke March on Saturday, but I spent Sunday—the day of the Pride Parade—flying to Geneva for work.

Each day of Pride Weekend in San Francisco has a different feel. The Trans March on Friday is a protest—some years more than others—and on Sunday the Pride Parade itself is more of a string of corporate advertise­ments than anything else. The Saturday sandwiched between, the day of the Dyke March, is a fucking...

Eryn and I met ten years ago today, at Pride. I’m so glad we did. 💞

San Francisco’s Pride weekend kicks off every year with the Trans March on Friday. Eryn, EJ, and I got to Dolores Park in mid-afternoon. The march starts there, in the corner of the Mission District closest to The Castro, then heads up Market Street to the Tenderloin, where it comes to an end in the Transgender...
