Yvonne ‘looks undocumented’<p>“Local news died out,” is often cited as a reason many in the US are so uninformed about ….pretty much everything. I’m lucky to have a pretty good local weekly newspaper, but it also drives me nuts. <br>If they were my only source of news, I wouldn’t even know that Roe was overturned, but thank god someone’s tracking the price of gas! <br>Lately, they’ve been accepting FB comments as “letters to the editor”—is this common practice elsewhere? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/localnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>localnews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/letterstotheeditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>letterstotheeditor</span></a></p>

Book<p>An interesting read about "transvestites" in the '60s and social ephemera surrounding those exploring such feelings. </p><p>Dear Abby was based before based was a thing. <br>===<br>Reads: Dear Abby<br>By Abigail Van Buren. 7/9/69</p><p>DEAR ABBY: This is for "Too Much Ironing," who com-plained about having to iron her husband's undershorts:</p><p>Dear Madam: You really have high-class problems. I wonder if you know how lucky you are? I would gladly iron 7, 10, or 20 pair of shorts every week if my husband would leave my panties alone.</p><p>When I first found out that my husband was snitching my panties to wear under his shorts, I was bewildered and sick. How long he had been doing this I didn't know, but I'm sure it must have been most of the 11 years we had been married because when I look back, a lot of things make sense now that didn't some time ago.</p><p>My first reaction was to pack my bags and leave him, but there were three good reasons why I staved. They are three adorable children who deserve a father and mother, and as long as God gives me strength, I'll keen my home together until our children are on their own.</p><p>I am not a martyr, nor do I enjoy being married to one I consider less than a man. Love and respect for him have flown out the window, and my marriage has become a "job" and nothing more.</p><p>So, to "Too Much Ironing," I say, "Keep that iron hot, lady, and don't complain."</p><p>"OLD AT 35"</p><p>DEAR OLD: Since this problem is so close to you, I am amazed that you have not made an honest effort to learn more about it instead of flatly condemning that which you do not understand.</p><p>A man who secretly wears feminine attire is a "transvestite." And though it may seem unbelieveable to you, a transvestite is NOT necessarily a homosexual. So when you describe your husband as something "less than a man" you may be doing him a disservice.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lgbt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbt</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transvestite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transvestite</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Newspapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newspapers</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LettersToTheEditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LettersToTheEditor</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 21 June 1924:<br> PUSH-CARTS AND TRAMS<br> TO THE EDITOR.<br> Sir,—Half-past two, and just about to board a tram to town, a conductor called out to me: “Madam, you cannot lake your push-chair on this car.” Well, Mr. Editor, rather than take a ride to town on business and leave my push-chair at any old place, I decided to return home. Tramway authorities in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> want to wake up and adopt the Christchurch system of collapsible carriers fitted to the trams for this purpose.
