Gotham Episode 107 Recap: Baby, Now We’ve Got Bad Blood

Welcome to the seventh episode of the first season of the TV show Gotham, a docu-series about one sociopath’s search for the perfect tuna sandwich.
Well. So. Penguin is alive and everyone knows it and that spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e for Detective Jim Gordon. Bullock is mad at him because partners tell each other the truth w/r/t murdering villains on the orders of more powerful villains. Captain Essen…

Top Ten Products For Human Bloodhounds Who Need Everything To Smell Good

I can smell everything. Seriously, everything. If we’ve spent significant periods of time together, I probably could recognize you by scent. I drove my friends in New York crazy by refusing to enter delis with hot bars and by ordering delivery instead of takeout from the Chinese restaurant around the corner — the smell of hot oil that permeated these places lingered in my hair and clothes for…

Captain’s Log: Everything’s Coming Up Beyoncé

Hi friends! I know it’s been a really long time since I’ve posted a Captain’s Log — I have a lot of excuses, but mostly I just wasn’t super into any new music all that recently. I started to worry that all hope was lost, but all of a sudden all sorts of brand new things seem to be crawling out of the woodwork. From here on out, I vow to be much more consistent. We will begin with the greatest…

Getting Cruised In the Heights

Got my hair cut. Short. Shaved sides. Even got my eyebrows did.
Ghurl, my shit is looking correct.
I scraped my pennies together and indulged in some self-care. Hit up mi hombre, Hermán, at the barber shop in the Heights near my girl’s crib, and got a cut.
Ever since my best homegirl passed away, getting a haircut has been this saving grace, one I dive into whenever my reservoir of sanity is…

8 Pretty Great Lesbian Movies You Haven’t Seen Yet

We’re putting together this list of the Top 100 Lesbian Movies Of All Time, a project which has involved a lot of surveying of other movie-watchers and has also required me to watch no less than 30 allegedly queer films over the last two weeks.

Remember the totally kickass podcast Questionable at Best by DeAnne Smith? I mean, of course you do, because it totally kicks ass.

Just a warning: sh*t is going to get real.
DeAnne’s interview with Cee…

Choose Your Own Dreamscape Adventure at “Sleep No More,” an Immersive Theater Production

“Seriously, stop pulling away!” At 3:30 PM on Halloween, I’m losing my patience with this boi, my life-partner-in-crime-spousal-unit-person, on whom I’m trying to apply smudgy black eyeliner.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help it!” he says, trying his damndest to keep his head still and his eyes open. It is an exercise in futility. We assume a weird position where I stand over him while he hugs my legs and…
