If y'all haven't looked up , you really should.
A new portion is discovered today, they want to reassess ALL VA disability ratings to find ways to dump disabled Vets off the government rolls and reduce payments to veterans and the people who take care of them.
If you love a veteran, let them know.

Another Round Rock Pride in the books. We chatted with a lot of fun people. I got hugs from some of our favorite drag queens. I made friends with a few more.
Funny thing is, my head is precisely at b**b level on 6'-7' tall performers. So many b**bs...
Everybody was crushing it from the RR Pride Organization.
Ben, you really knocked it out of the park.
Richard, you are the heart and soul of that festival.
Sharon, you literally poured everything you had into it.
Simone, we really missed your pretty face. It was lovely seeing y'all today.
Maxi, I don't know how you do it. Full makeup, costume, tights, corsets, the whole shebang AND you get out there and shake your groove thing with mad abandon. I was inside most of the day and I am completely wiped out. You are amazing and I don't know if enough people tell you that.
Talor, it was great to see you. You had some of us (me & Xan) worried.
Ken, you are one of the best MCs I've ever seen. You are funny and you keep the show moving.
Mayor Craig Morgan, thank you again for indulging our wacky little production. You have always been a real class act. Your missus is a lucky gal to have such a stand-up fella.
MOST OF ALL, we want to thank Tia Linda for dragging herself up to RR this morning and being an amazing brand ambassador for the show. We love you to the moon and back.
Now I'm going to spend the rest of the evening rehydrating and loading up on ibuprofen for all the interesting aches and pains earned during the very long and "OMG it's so hot I think I'm going to melt" day at Centennial Plaza and the BACA Center.
CONGRATULATIONS on Pride Year Three.
What a great way to start .

Anomie: the social condition where there's a disintegration or disappearance of norms and values previously common to society.

So this is the big talking point the last few days. On this subject, I choose bear.
Two reasons:
1. I have experience with actual bears (not just my husband) and I feel like I would probably be okay unless it was a Kodiak or a Polar Bear (they are vicious killers, no matter what).
2. I, like most women, have felt unsafe around strange men. A lifetime of "accidental" groping and skeevy comments had made me rightfully wary. And that's in public with people around. Alone in the woods with no backup? Well... There is a reason why I ALWAYS carry a knife.

For Shabbat, we made our first-ever Passover batch of Matzo Ball Soup. We used our beloved Bubbie Jodie's recipe. At every stage, we thought about how much we miss her beautiful face and her loving heart.
We started the process on Thursday night by making the Matzo Ball base in advance. Friday afternoon, around 4:30, we dropped a whole chicken, celery, carrots, two grande onions, and a whole lot of love into a big ass cook pot and simmered that mess for 6+ hours. After picking out tons of bones and burning our tongues many times sampling the broth, we dropped our great big balls in the drink.
In the meantime, I made some of my custom Central/South Texas badass charoset to pair up with a few stacks of matzo.
Everything was A-MA-ZING!!!!
Happy and we ask the universe to keep us safe and far away from them that seek to drown us in authoritarianism.
“May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May the Universe turn their hearts;
And if it doesn't turn their hearts,
May it turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.”

If you are a Trans ally and weren't already avoiding spending money on JK Rowling IP, here is the thing that should lock the decision down for you.
The post is hateful. The comments supporting her are worse.

Four years ago today was the first broadcast of The What's UPDATE with Xander Kwiecien on Texas Student Television.
We have learned a whole lot about the process since then. We have interviewed some spectacular people.
We are still plugging away at it.
I'm trying really hard to get a new episode out today.🤞
Thank you to everybody who has been with us this whole time. You all really mean a lot to us for your dedication to our learning process. Special shout-outs to Linda Salazar, Katsarida Roach Reign, David Littlefield, Michaela Watson, and many others for jumping into the writer's chair and lending their face and/or voice to our rinky d**k little production. We love you guys!
Enjoy the blast from the past.

📣OUR BIG DRAG MOVIE 👑

Hey everyone. Xan and Lisa are about to launch a Kickstarter for a film we will be making called "Drag in the Heart of Texas."

It is a feature-length documentary that examines the history of drag performance in Texas, the tug-of-war between working drag performers and the Texas government, and where things are headed for drag queens and kings in the Lone Star State. We are seeking funding for equipment upgrades, travel expenses, production costs, and licensing and festival fees.

Please send me a note here or a DM with your email address for our mailing list for when the Kickstarter goes live.

I hope that everyone can spare a little cash to help us produce this important documentary.

Once we go live, please share with anyone and everyone you can think of who might want to throw a little cash our way.
