This is how I am feeling right now.
Dance like no one's watching.
Sing like no one's listening.
"Let's All Chant" - STONEWALL 50! THE PEOPLE UNITED SHALL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

It's still Friday night for me, but good morning. I get to put in overtime this weekend, but I hope to remember to post sometime tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
been a good one so far!
DeleteI doubt if many experiencing current heatwaves will have the energy to get up and shake a leg today, W.Q., including yourself, as I see. Our own is expected to peak today in low 30s, nothing as concerning as the oven-like mid-40s they've been getting in France.
ReplyDeleteHave a cool (in all senses) w/e. Salutations to all from my be-shorted self and several knocked out (heat-wise) pussy cats.
france seems to be bearing the burden of the heatwave.
Deletetoday is a lovely cool day; I currently have the windows open and the air conditional off. we had thunderstorms rattle through yesterday afternoon to cool things down considerably.
cats are currently napping; RTG and I just finished breakfast (corn cakes with real butter & real maple syrup). on the agenda is laundry and knitting and a nap.
hope you and pussies get some relief from the heat soon.
It was only for Saturday when temps hit the heights for us. Since then we're back in the low 20s - and for now can sleep better nights.
DeleteNot sure what 'corn cakes' are though we almost certainly have equivalents, maybe the same with different name. And y'know what? Don't think I've EVER had maple syrup. P'raps that too is called something else here.
Our affections to all.
"corn cakes" are pancakes made with corn muffin mix and a dash of vanilla extract. I found a helpful article here: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/pancakes-how-to-make-american-british-recipes-from-scratch-easy-best-toppings-a7912786.html
Deletemaple syrup comes from the maple tree sap; takes 35 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. canada makes THE BEST syrup, with our state of vermont close behind. to read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup
Happy Pride to all!!!! Get out, meet people, look and wonder, and be seen and be proud.
ReplyDeletedon't hide your light, let it shine! wave that flag! can't wait to hear about your NYC adventures, maddie!
DeleteWoot, woot!
ReplyDeleteI’m doing Chicago Pride this weekend and I wish they’d play this!
Happy Pride!
XoXo
please to be posting any pix of the chitown celebrations!
DeleteOh my god, I can't remember the last time I heard this song!!!
ReplyDeleteperhaps when it was released, dear?
Deletebwhahahahahahahaha! you and SG were together when this song was released (1978).
DeleteOh, you like to live life on the edge, don't you? NO we were NOT together in 1978. We met in 1981; I was 2.
Deleteok, so I made ONE little boo-boo...but you were MOS DEF NOT age 2.
Deletehee hee hee! besos, mitchell!
DeleteAnd Thank You, Anne Marie for being a true ally and friend to the gay community. Happy Pride!
ReplyDelete(blushes) thank you, jimmy. I could never find better friends ANYWHERE like all y'all. so loving and caring and accepting.
DeleteOh, now I'm up.
ReplyDeleteOur Pride Fest isn't until September, because of the wicked heat and stupidity, er, humidity,but it is a Pride-filled weekend elsewhere.
Happy Pride AM!
san diego also holds their pride celebrations in an off-month.
Deletekeep the celebrations rolling, no matter how much the GOPricks want to pretend LGBTQIA people don't exist! muthafuckas!
Perfect for Pride month!
ReplyDeleteain't it though! along with "I will survive" and "I'm coming out".
DeleteI love how so often I have not heard the songs you post since the time they were released. So fun to walk down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pride!
I went for a mani/pedi at a local nail salon yesterday; the owner was playing 80s-90s dance tunes over the intercom. LOVED IT!
DeleteHappy Pride!!!!Are you attending any festivals or parades Anne?
ReplyDeleteWe are in the thick of our Pride here since Thursday. Our Pride Walk on the 27th, had 12,000 people this year...the major festivities are going on today and tomorrow. Last night darling was ugly!!!!! I look forward to the canal parade.
not this year, dear. maddie and I are making plans to attend next year's doylestown pride festival; a bit smaller and more walkable for me. maddie put pix up on one of her last blog posts of the doylestown celebrations.
DeleteI have seen pix of the canal parade; peter (who no longer blogs) would post pix of pink noord activities. have a great time!
Love this track. It puts the Oooh into Oooh.
ReplyDeleteHot in London city today. Guido's got his BBQ out tonight! Wish you were here.
JP
it was hot in philly too on saturday. we had some thunderstorms go thru; I currently have the windows open to let in the cool breeze and the air conditioner is off.
Delete"Guido's got his BBQ out tonight!" is that a double entendre for something else, like guido's big hose? I wish I were there too to sample guido's cooking. love you boyz!
Love this song! Happy Pride!
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoy it!
DeleteI used to dance to that... well, I still do sometimes, but only when I'm wearing my cycling spandex, and when I do I'm filled with Pride.
ReplyDeleteand I bet you look cute too!
Deleteand a happy last day of PRIDE to you and sweet bear!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually pretty cool here at the moment. Our pride parade isn't until August and we have a pride week leading up to the parade and festival after. It's a fun week.
ReplyDeleteWow, many years since I heard that tune, still a good dance tune today. I remember being a kid singing that song with friends but we didn't understand the full meaning lol. "My body, your body, but nobody wants my body" :(
Hahaha!
you WILL go this year, right? after all, how can you even find somebody who "wants your body" if you don't represent! let your gay light shine, dear!
DeleteA blast from the past. Happy Pride! RJJS
ReplyDeleteit may be the last day of pride month, but PRIDE DAY IS EVERY DAY!
DeleteI missed the party! My house has been in a total upheaval for the past few days so I was off grid once again.
ReplyDelete1978, huh? I had two kids under the age of two that year, which explains why I never heard of this song. One goes a little nutsy cuckoo when one's kids are only 14 months apart. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
egad! and now those 2 kids are responsible adults with kids of their own.
