  SEXUALITY AND SHADOWS Award-winning artist Donald Hershman is bringing his captivating art to Provincetown’s Bear Week. This summer the “SEXUALITY AND SHADOWS“ exhibit will premiere at PTown’s one and only ArT LoVe GaLLerY (445 Commercial Street). New artwork on display from July 9 to July 17, 2022 will showcase a celebration of the male form and a play on the inanimate.

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED BY NOT VOTING

Image
  I DID NOT VOTE I am sorry. Less than 90 thousand residents of New York City voted in the primaries. This is why our country is so messed up. With over 8 million people living in NYC, I am just shocked with all the problems this country is facing that such a low number of people voted. Everyone will complain about this and that. People that aren't registered to even vote, complain and complain. We had some good candidates this election, but the ones who won were not not picked by the majority, they were picked by the minority who voted. Many of the candidates had no experience at all, but many of them won because their people voted.  I think it is a disgrace in this day and age when you can vote absentee and not even leave your home, to not vote. I am very sad that some good candidates who have worked very hard for the community way before they ran for any office lost, because people did not vote. Then everyone will complain about this and that and it is you who caused all of the
