Coffee for two in bed seems like a great way to start your day. – Unknown

Bearz are wicked smart. No plans this evening? Come down and test your skills at a variety of topics ranging from pop culture to music, to current events. Prizes are awarded so bring you your game face and channel your inner Cliff Claven.

Looking for something fun to do this afternoon? Head over to Club Cafe for the monthly Bearz Tea Dance. The doors open at 5PM – no cover or attitude – just great music.

Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death and as sweet as love.

Have a great weekend and thanks for checking out my blog today.

One month ago the massacre in Orlando took place. Last month Matthew Breen, editor-in-chief of The Advocate responded with the anger and passion many (myself included) felt following the tragedy. Much thanks to Bob from I Should Be Laughing blog for sharing this.

“I’ve got something to say to those who would do us harm; to those right wing politicians and religious fanatics [The Advocate] too often covers: You cannot relentlessly discriminate against us and dehumanize us and then stand back and act shocked when someone takes your ideas into his black rotted heart and slaughters us in those places where we gather for community. We are not interested in your prayers unless they are followed up with action. And we do not accept that living in this country means lining up for a massive game of Russian roulette. There is no justification on earth for giving madmen access to mass murder machines. So listen up you Mitch McConnell’s, Pat McCrery’s, Wayne, LaPierre’s, Family Research Council, and all you bigots who methodically work to keep us down and keep the madmen armed, ‘You have f**ked with the wrong group of people.’ In case you have not been paying attention these last fifty years, this community is strong, resilient, very effective and mightily pissed off. We will not permit your insane brand of fundamentalism and we’re coming for your assault rifles, too.”

Words have meaning; words have consequences. Sticks and stones; words hurt sometimes worse than sticks and stones. They hurt like bullets.
