I came face to face with an old enemy at the 30 year high school reunion tour: the marching band uniform from my freshman and sophomore years. Possibly the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn. Those uniforms were about as old as me and my band mates when it was our turn to use them.

Photograph of a marching band uniform displayed in a glass case hanging on a wall. The uniform is from 1980 and is styled to look like Theodore Roosevelt’s rough riders. I did not enjoy wearing that uniform. Uncomfortable. Odd smells. Close up photograph of the label on the marching band uniform display case. The label says: Roosevelt High School Marching Roughriders 1980-1994

I just toured my old high school for its 30 year reunion. It was nice to see everything and everyone again. I was able to get into the auditorium balcony to return to this spot. I helped with audio and sound effects for plays. 1/

Happy 25th shirtiversary to this shirt. About 25 years ago I bought this shirt and others for my first job out of college. Yes, since you asked, it is polyester and from JC Penney. How old is the oldest piece of clothing you still use on a regular basis?

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
