We start with James Barlow, who posted on TikTok about encountering a transgender woman at the Landmark truck stop in Clyde Texas—his message was affirming and kind, and incredibly idealistic! The Big Interview is with Marissa Held-Nordling, the owner of Little Roos children’s boutique in Chaska MN, which held a Drag story time on July 8th; you will love Marissa’s idealistic words about allyship and showing up! In the C-Block, I talk about seeing the Proud Boys at the Little Roos event but feeling no fear.
