“Coming into our own humanity often takes enormous effort, commitment and bravery. I believe we should be taught that at an early age. I believe part of the violence of our culture stirs from the myth that kindness is natural. I don’t think kindness is natural. I think kindness would only be natural in a world where no one is hurt, and everyone is hurt. So kindness is work. Is our knees in the garden weeding our bites, our apathies, our cold shoulders, our silences, our cruelties, whatever taught us the word ugly. There is no weapon more dangerous than a wound, and being wounded there are things we have all done that we would almost would rather die that face into, but no one heals what they refuse to look at. So when asked if I believe in “good people”, I say I believe in people who are committed to knowing their own wounds intimately. People who read their wound’s diaries, who follow their wounds out windows, down ladders asking “Where are you going? What do you need? How can I intervene before a cruel thing is done or said?” And if you’re reading this and you’re inclined to think yourself a consistently kind person, I ask you to first make sure you have included yourself on the list of people you may be directing your unkindnesses to. We are taught to believe shame is pacifist. I am certain it is not.”

We are taught to believe shame is pacifist. I am certain it is not.

Andrea Gibson, poet laureate, activist passed today, July 14, 2025. In 2021 they were diagnosed with cancer, and continued to share with the world to the end. They were a gifted storyteller that saved and changed many lives forever.

May we carry forward your spirit and fight for a more loving and whole world.

Texas lawmakers voted Thursday to repeal the state’s longstanding ban on gay s*x, sending legislation to do so to the state Senate in a historic and bipartisan vote.

Texas’s defunct ban on “homos*xual conduct,” defined in the penal code as “deviate s*xual in*******se with another individual of the same s*x,” has not been enforceable since 2003, when the Supreme Court ruled it & other state laws criminalizing so**my between consenting adults unconstitutional.

But language classifying gay s*x as a Class C misdemeanor, while unenforceable, remains enshrined in Texas law.
