Grey Pride: Protesting Hungarians mock Orbán's anti-LGBT moves, saying 'Let's all be the same' http://www.reuters.com/world/europe… #Hungary

People need to understand why the religious right is on constant pilgrimages to Hungary— and where sex censorship headed is ultimately headed. Orban banned Pride this year, saying it was needed to protect children. This is the strategy, the message and the goal they're bringing home.

A bit of the surreal when things are all too real

I really enjoy reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. I took a try at writing a story in that genre one time and found it really difficult to manage the imagery. Some favorite series: The Spellmonger by Terry Mancour. The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Do you have a favorite?

I hope you find something here that brings you peace and wonder. A Special Thanks at the end. Hugs.

That first pic made me miss my friend. Had to include this one.

This man deserves the greatest of accolades. He is inspiring, worthy of emulating, and a true national treasure. Thank you Mr. LeVar Burton for Reading Rainbow!!

Nebraska Students Pose In Locker Room With Nazi Flag – Joe.My.God.

I am at the allergist getting shots yesterday was the kidney doctor. So about this post and that hateful flag, where is the outcry from those same people demanding no books with gay characters, plots, or subject matter. Why are those people so worried about kids minds and moral standards so quiet when the kids are pushing a hate flag. tRump is searching media of immigrants with legal status for Jewish content to have them removed, yet the flag representing the government that killed 6 million Jewish people seem to be OK with him and his administration.

STAT: U.S. maternal mortality rate increased 27% over five years, NIH study finds

U.S. maternal mortality rate increased 27% over five years, NIH study finds
A new U.S. government paper documenting an increase in maternal mortality from 2018 to 2022 does not hedge in its conclusion, calling the issue “an urgent public health priority.” That it was published amid massive job and funding cuts at federal health agencies charged with reducing these deaths has not escaped notice.
