Yes, another from the Protein Wisdom examines the Pressing Issue of Transmisogyny series … As a straight, white, cisgender male, I don’t face the challenges that many women, minorities, or genderqueer do on a daily basis. My life is easy. I benefit from a patriarchal system that lends power and privilege to individuals with my characteristics. While I didn’t ask for it, it is my duty to own it. I

RIP Yogi Berra [Darleen Click]
Back in the day when baseball was the all-consuming national sport, there came legends whose names still resonate. Yogi Berra was one of those names, and he has passed away at age 90. The 18-year-old U.S. Navy enlistee, thinking it sounded less boring than the dull training he was doing in 1944, volunteered for service on what he thought an officer had called “rocket ships.” Actually, they were small, slow,
