Moved by the tragic events that took place on Sunday in Orlando, former child actress Mara Wilson has decided to embrace her authentic self. The "Mrs. Doubtfire" star wrote a series of tweets revealing that she identifies as bisexual and queer.

Wilson, 28, posted a photo of herself from 10 years ago at a gay club with friends.
She then tweeted the following:
"Me at a gay club when I was eighteen. I feel embarrassed looking at it now...Being a 'straight girl' where I clearly didn't belong, but I will say, I felt so welcomed there. I have never had a better experience at a club than I did then. Great music and people. And one of my friends met his partner that night! I haven't been to one since college, except once when a friend brought me along. I didn't feel like I belonged there. But the LGBTQ community has always felt like home, especially a few years later when I, uh, learned something about myself. So thank you. Your support is much appreciated. I will say, though, I'm still gonna be pretty private about my relationships, as I always have been."
Mara Wilson has been flooded with support from her fans.
In some of her tweets, she mentioned where she was on the Kinsey scale. She told followers that she's a 2, and that's how she has identified herself for the last few years.

My Two Cents

First and foremost, welcome to the community, Mara! :-) <3

Folks, what Mara Wilson has done is incredibly brave and empowering. During a time when everyone is in fear, she has harnessed fear and used it to 'come out.' What happened in Orlando impacted us all, and I will be honest, I was a little afraid to be who I am. Hiding who we are only gives our enemies more power. We are a strong community and now more than ever, we need to remain strong.
We need to stay authentic to who we are. If you are LGBTQ+, be proud. Be confident.

I am an openly queer woman. I will never stop being who I am. I will stay true to myself until the day I die.

Don't ever be afraid of who you are. Don't let what happened send you back into the closet. Be your authentic self. Own it.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
