  Proud of my local dyke bar for taking a stand against transphobia Edit. The additional context needed is Rikki’s is one of the home ground bars for watching and gathering with other dykes who are fans of the golden state Valkyries. There’s a wider struggle against transphobia in the WNBA, but Valkyries fandom would not exist without our many trans fans.

  I'm 41 today. It sounds like a big year. It sort of is, but after 40, who cares? I'm just so incredibly happy to be here, so thankful to be alive, to be able to see the world, meet all the people in it, eat all the food, do all the things. I can't wait for more. The women in my family are long-lived, and I'm looking forward to it because I feel like I am going to be curiously and voraciously in love with the world forever. Since I was a child I have always looked forward to b...

  I don’t think this is uplifting news. This is evidence that Californian municipal services have utterly failed. Many cities, like Oakland in particular, seem incapable of picking up the trash or curbing dumping.

  A lifetime of adventures across India (and the rest of the world..): 1. When I was 18 years old, I joined a volunteer tourism program which was heavily subsidized by the Singapore government. I spent a month in Kolkata in the Sonagachi red light district working with the kids of sex workers, most of them trafficked. We worked with an organization that provided services to their kids. Up till that point I’d led a fairly privileged life in Singapore as a middle class kid who wanted for nothing....

  My country (Singapore) says it wants more babies but Women can freeze their eggs but are not able to use them until they are heterosexually married and their husband approved Women cannot make life altering fertility decisions without written approval from their.. husbands IVF is only available to legally married (therefore hetero) couples Just a joke all around. Oh, this year we finally decided to give the ‘baby bonus’ to ‘unwed mothers’. Doesn’t feel like it’s 2026 over there where ferti...

  I genuinely feel that ‘liberal arts’ is just like ‘communism’. In that people who don’t know both things have no idea what they’re talking about when they’re dissing them.

  Indonesian coffee is a passion of mine. When I lived there I had the honor of trying coffee from all over the country. They also have an especially excellent specialty coffee scene. I’ve had delicious coffee comparable to the best hipster coffee in California, even inside wet markets in small towns in Java (at a coffee counter..) When I was in Kuala Lumpur last week, I found a small micro-roaster called Blitz and Co inside a coworking space. Aqmal Hadi the owner / roaster is super passionat...

  The moment we crossed the border from Malaysia into Singapore late last night, I knew every inch (and centimetre) of the place even without looking very much. From the corner of my eye I could see: here was the animal inspection hut where I had to present Cookie for inspection when I moved her to Singapore. There was the bus stop I spent many mornings waiting for a public bus to school. That was the bridge upon which I broke up with a teenage love. I knew exactly where the bus would tur...
