You Need Help: So We’re Speeding Towards That Time of Year, The Day That Marks That You’re Not Here

Welcome to You Need Help! Where you’ve got a problem and yo, we solve it. Or we at least try.

Q:

Dear Riese (and team),

I started dating my (transmasculine) boyfriend over the summer. In 1999 (when he was 14), his father died suddenly on December 29th. He has hated this time of year ever since, from his birthday (in November) until January. He struggles to talk about any of this. He retreats…

A Thank You Letter From One Trans Woman To The Others in My Life

A Thank You Letter From One Trans Woman To The Others in My Life

Dear trans sisters and mothers and abuelas and aunties and daughters and nieces and cousins,

Thank you for everything.

You are my life. You are my reason for being alive. Like, literally, when I was a young, closeted trans girl, and I became a part of the disturbing statistic that is 41% of trans people who attempt suicide, it was all of you who helped me get through. I saw you and I knew there…

Things I Read That I Love #153: Feminine Marvelous and Tough

HELLO and welcome to the 88th installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays I’ve read recently so that you can read them too and we can all know more about Kathy Acker! This “column” is less feminist/queer focused than the rest of the site because when something is feminist/queer focused, I put it on the rest of the site. Here is…

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: What’s the First Dish You Made on Your Own?

Oh my pillows, it’s Friday. And that means it’s time for the Friday Open Thread, an undercover project I instituted at this website to slowly collect information on someone I have a crush on who’s very into sharing details about their life via the comments. IS IT YOU?

This week marks the second week of the greatest television show in recent history, Master Chef Junior. If you haven’t seen it, I…

dapperQ is geeked to present our first ever Vermont edition of He Said/We Said (HS/WS)! It gets bleeping cold in Vermont, so the dappers there are not playing around when it comes to style that is both fashionable and functional. As such, dapperQ and photographer Liz LaVorgna selected the Mark McNairy Fall 2014 menswear collectionas inspiration for the shoot. The collection is rugged, stylish,…
