My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won’t stop; in fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my days that remain. For now, whether you’re young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President - the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change - but in yours. I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents; that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists; that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice; that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon; a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written: Yes We Can. Yes We Did. Yes We Can. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR EIGHT AMAZING YEARS [2008-2016]

Drunk History just did a really amazing episode on the Stonewall Riots.

Besides everything, two great things about this episode: 1) The narrator is Crissle West, the woman who narrated the Harriet Tubman episode; and 2) Comedy Central actually cast transgender actors for transgender roles.

Check it out.

Fucking perfect. Putting the narrative back in the hands of the changemakers makes me unspeakably happy. *sniffles* 

[bemusedlybespectacled]

This is a better adaptation of the Stonewall story than Stonewall and it’s like a fifteen-minute story narrated by a drunk person with a TV show’s budget.

Ever since I saw Christopher Reeve heroically catch the little kid who fell over the railing in Superman II I've been fascinated by Niagara Falls. Today I got to experience it for the first time and it did not disappoint. Supes didn't even have to make an appearance. (at Niagara Falls)

FAREWELL MR. BUNTING (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE)

I don’t mean to hype this up, but this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in years.

50 years ago today, Bruce Springsteen began his recording career when his band The Castilles cut their very first record at Mr. Music in Brick, NJ. Just seems like a lot of good things start out in Bricktown... (Image from @backstreetsmag) (at Brick Plaza)

Thanks to the wonder that is the Internet, I was able to get in touch with the couple who got engaged on stage at the Bruce show on Wednesday and share a few of the shots I caught of the big moment with them. Because if there's one thing The Boss has taught me after all these years it's this: Yes, love is wild. Yes, love is real.

Happy 38th Wedding Anniversary to my parents, who are way cooler than I'll ever be...
