Expression is liberation. The Reveal is a safe space to discover and support that liberty. In a society that celebrates conformity, let’s stop waiting for permission to be seen. Let's show them we will no longer be invisible.

The Moral High Ground

By Evan Hurst

We are living through a world-historical temper tantrum from white conservative Christians over their loss of control, relevance, and supremacy. This weekly newsletter looks at current events through that lens and usually mocks it mercilessly.

Evan is my favorite Wonkette writer, and that's saying something. Excited to check out his new project, why don't you join me?

Bites of Change

By Emma

Changes are made in small bites, and with big issues, small bites are where you start. Foster parenting, chronic illness, social injustice -- these are all things we need to talk about. But at the end of the day, these are also just my stories.

ICE stormtroopers, Disneyland, discuss.
