I'm supposed to be on my way out of the house right now to run various errands, but I've been watching the new season of Queer Eye all morning and I have to write some things down. If you haven't watched Queer Eye, the overarching message of the show is, "you are lovely and you … Continue reading We are lovely and loved

F Words
It could be because I finished the fifth season of Grace and Frankie within the past 24 hours, or it could be the result of a series of revelations and realizations happening over the past 2 months.
