Where I’ve been and of course the “Bucket List”
George M. Johnson’s All Boys Aren’t Blue, a coming-of-age essay collection about growing up Black and queer in New Jersey, was reportedly removed from four high school libraries in North Kansas City, Missouri last week. The decision followed an objection from Jay Richmond, president of the Northland Parent Association, a […]
We begin this week with the aftershocks of Mercury in Scorpio’s opposition to Uranus in Taurus. All one has to do is look at the ground with its crumbling leaves to know that November is a month of endings. Sometimes, they’re as bright as they are painful. Sometimes, they are […]
