This is the saddest and most maddening tale I’ve read in a very long time. A transgender teen was rejected by her parents and forced into isolation. She killed herself this week.

And her mother still calls her “Josh.”

BARGAIN ESPRESSO

Filed on December 6, 2014 at 6:15 am under by dcobranchi

I’ve been an espresso drinker for decades, now. Two doubles (doppio) before I leave the house every morning. I’ve always ground my own beans (coffee geek) but lately I’ve been drinking Cafe Bustelo. It’s a really strong, Cuban style, pre-ground. It’s very, very good and super cheap at Sam’s Club. $11.68 for 2.5 lbs.

It works equally well in a pump machine or a stove-top machinetta.
