Flushing is Burning: LGD (Lou Gehrig Disappointment)

MLB can and should do more.

Grace is back as the good times continue to roll in Queens. The Mets are doing great, and it's very fun, both on TV and in person as Grace recently found out. There have been some sad happenings (including one right before the episode's recording), but on the whole it's a good time.

Grace then turns her attention to yet another Lou Gehrig Day disappointment. There's so much the league and teams can do, and yet they continue to choose to do the bare minimum (if even that). A terrible disease deserves better work to fight it.

Finally, an annual tradition: the Pride month double feature movie minute. Two recent overlooked queer films. One from last year about the coming out journey, and one from this year about the fight to make a family of your own as a queer person. Both lovely, heartwarming films that deserve attention.
