Katie Herzog
I did something truly wild and had an actual conversation with a Trump voter! I know! Crazy, right??

Staring Down My Mortality in Kayaks and X-Rays
Expedition kayaker Scott Lindgren knocked off first descents of the most remote and dangerous rivers on earth, from the Himalayas to the Sierra. He paddled with an aggro attitude and saw weakness as an unforgivable trait in himself and others. But...
Katie Herzog
Scott Lindgren was (and still is) a legend in the world of whitewater kayaking and this first-person account about how brain tumor drove him away from the sport, and then back to it, is an incredible read.

That Stupid, Violent Video of Trump Slaying His Enemies Is Much Ado About Nothing
After Kathy Griffin’s ill-advised but frankly kind of amusing photoshoot with a rubber mask and ketchup that looked like Donald Trump’s severed head, the President and his supporters acted like she was a member of ISIS. She lost a gig with CNN, she...

If ironic Hitler memes and exposure to the word “triggered” turns your kid into a Nazi, publishing an essay about his Instagram likes in the NYT will surely be the antidote. nytimes.com/2019/10/12/opi… pic.twitter.com/Kgdz9X6TaQ

The Winner of the LGBTQ Town Hall? Donald Trump.
Despite my multiple and very serious arguments against it, eight of the top Democratic candidates for President plus Tom Steyer took part in the first-ever LGBTQ town hall on Thursday night on CNN. It was four and a half extremely long hours. Aside...
Katie Herzog
HRC and CNN did Democrats a big disservice last night, especially the people (many of whom are LGBTQ) who suffer the most under Donald Trump. It's really a shame. Now read my post!

Here's my take on the LGBTQ #EqualityTownHall, which really should have been called the #GayMenAndTransWomenOfColorTownHall. Overall, I found the entire thing boring, embarrassing, and troubling all at once, which is actually kind of impressive.

Katie Herzog
My issues with the event are all laid out in this post (and please read it!), but I think my biggest takeaway from this is that queer people are too stuck in our echo chamber and it's making us look myopic if not actually crazy.

Trial Reveals the Pulse Shooting Wasn't About Homophobia; It Was About U.S. Foreign Policy
The trial of Omar Mateen's widow revealed that the shooter didn't even know that Pulse was a gay club.

And now we have a Pulse survivor asking a question about the rise of violence against trans women of color. I guess he didn't get the memo (Pulse didn't have anything to do with sexuality).
