Happy Pride 2025, my fellow gifted thrifters and thrifty gifters!  

It’s June – first month of Summer, Sivan and Tamuz of 5785, Pride Month; month of Give Out Day, Shavuot, Juneteenth, Fathers Day, the Summer/Estival Solstice / MidSummer, and the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots!

I’m a proud (nonbinary) trans and queer (and bi) person and advocate.  And Pride and protest are more important than ever this year.  But what to wear?  Some thrifted rainbows are a must.  And DC Goodwill has rainbow dresses, online and off – the first three I photographed at my local Goodwill right here in Gaithersburg (and I would have bought the first one if it had been in my size).

Nu, if time were not of the essence, we could talk about items that look like the trans flag, the bisexual flag, and others.  But I don’t want you to miss too much of this month.  So go forth and be proud, and next month I’ll tell you about my latest trip to my Goodwill here in Gaithersburg.
