We are America.
We are gay and we are straight. We are black and white and red all over. We are thick and thin, students and teachers, teenagers and old souls.
We are hungry and we are full.
We are in love and we are solitaires.
We are readers of books. Of Maya Angelou and Walter Mosley and Chester Himes. Of Donald Westlake, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Max Allan Collins. We are lovers of the written word, the spoken word, the freedom to speak and to write and to read any words we choose.
We are lovers of the human body, of our bodies, of the freedom to inhabit our bodies without shame or prejudice.
We are proud.
We are world travelers, we are New Yorkers.
We are rain and sun.
We are are ink on the unwritten page.
We are tomorrow.
Are you truly in support of freedom of speech, even when you disagree with the message? Because I may disagree with something you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.
Yes, we are — though there are of course some tricky cases, such as where an act of speech is threatening or inciting violence or something of that sort. But speech we merely disagree with? By all means. You’ve got the right to say it, and we’ve got the right to tell you why you’re wrong.
Nice pics of braless ladies just relaxing, not being rude.
You are what makes America Beautiful. I hope you continue to add freedom to us.
Walter Mosley! Love it. What did you think of the book?
Haven’t finished it yet. 🙂
Great post! Thank you!
Long time fan, first comment. I really like this post: it is peaceful! We certainly need that now 🙂
Don’t know if you’ve seen this. But it’s relevant to your interests.

Typical ‘won’t someone think of the children ‘ nonsense included.
God bless Chelsea. She’s one of our members, and she’s changing the world one city at a time.
Good for her. The thoughtless moral posturing in some of the comments in that article… smh.
Follow up. Ocean City has now ‘protected’ the children.

Shame.
Illegitimes non carborundum!!
Boobs al aire! The women we love come with them installed, save for accident or illness.
We all like boobs, there’s never a wrong one, and I like that you’ve shown it’s OK to cover up, too, if one feels like it.
Happy (early) Fourth of July!
You are lovely!
Non rude admiration
Loved this one: “We are are ink on the unwritten page.”, and yes, you are tomorrow, but you are now, and that’s so important ’cause now is when women (and men) of tomorrow are being taught of what’s right or not. I hope they learn well the lessons you teach.
