Writing on this gorgeous early spring Sunday afternoon from my neighborhood country western gay pub. It is not lost on this Southern queer how delightful it is that such a place exists—and in Brooklyn! I wasn’t ready to go home before the sunset; I wanted to soak in the blue skies, be surrounded by other queer folks, and put my gay dollars to work. But now, my brain is fidgety, and I’m rethinking the wisdom of writing at the bar.
I am now super jealous that I live way too far away to ever have a reader card for the Library of Congress and my life is now emptier because of it. :-(
But I love that access is so easy, and that there are so many resources that come with that access. Primary documents FTW!
Because reading is fundamental!!! One of the highlights of getting published was sending a copy of my book to the LOC! So fun to read about it here. Def going next time I am in DC!
I was in DC a month ago and went to @wendymac lecture at the national gallery of art and the first floor of the National African American History museum. It’s amazing that our tax dollars do some good and support these institutions. I’m not often in DC, but next time I’m getting a National library of Congress. Rustin was a good movie!

Please keep this going. I want and need to know more!!
Loved the trip down memory lane. You ended this week with a cliffhanger! Does this mean that next week you'll answer the question at the end?
