Yes it does, in today's political environment we are being attacked from all directions. The attacks on the trans community, the attacks on the FACE law, packing the military with right-wing Christian Nationalist... we live in troubling times.
Anyone who is not worried in these times is either a fool, a right wing nut job or someone who doesn't care. The trick is not to allow it all to worry us to death. I am so glad that even though Diana worries she does a great job of bringing to us the news of what should be important to our lives. I am a white, queer cis-gender male who reads the postings on this site daily. We must know what we are facing in order to survive. One last thing I worry about Diana sending out this news daily and hope that it never overwhelms her as she is one of the more important voices working in Connecticut today. Thanks Diana.
Will have to see. Right now I am immersed with a new essay in 3 or 4 parts. Queering at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. A lot of research etc. But if and when the mood strikes I will write and send it to you for review. But I must say it would be a honor to write something for your site.
Everything worries you

ReplyDeleteYes, it is. It does wear on me.
DeleteRichard, would you like to write some articles?
