Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
It’s our perspective on humanity and the fundamental rights all people deserve. It’s our belief that people, regardless of their skin color, gender identity, religious beliefs or sexuality are essentially the same - and equal. It’s our knowledge of history and the frightening parallels to the worst holocaust ever experienced that we see in this … Continue reading It’s not just our politics that differ…
