    Can we start a thread of cute couples that AREN’T divorced/breaking up??? All this celebrity divorce news is upsetting me & my homegirls. Here we are recently off to our 20th, in July, to Curacao. Happy Anniversary, my sweetheart. XO

    Yes, we were duped @BendingGenres. In our last issue, this poem...bendinggenres.com/dislocated/ by the alleged John Kucera was plagiarized. Here is the original poem by Dorsia Smith Silva: clawandblossom.com/issues/issue5/…. Thanks @loki_writes for shedding light on this, and also writer Richard

    It's my birthday, so I'm playing Donna Summer "I Feel Love" because I do, and the birds are dancing with me, and I'm eternally grateful for you all. Thanks for making life so magical.
