Grey’s Anatomy Episode 1103 Recap: All That She Wants Is Another Baby

Put down your goblet of Moscato because we get Callie right away in this episode, like in the first two minutes. She’s the crunchy, fresh out of the oven, cheesy half of a calzona. What more could we want?

Bitch, I know you did not just compare me to food.

Smartphone App “The Walk” and Feelings About Fitness Technology

queer-your-tech-header_FINAL_640web

Probably you know from the thinly veiled personal blog that Queer Your Tech actually is that I’ve moved recently (a couple months ago, but it still feels very recent). And probably I have also mentioned, like, one million times that I have moved to a city. And one of the cool things about living in New York City versus living in rural New Jersey is the ability to walk everywhere all the time. In…

Why is representation itself so crucial?

I think the more specific your point of view, the stronger your voice is and the more relatable you are. So being the the most female, the most black, and the most gay I can be is really the way to reach the most people because at the end of the day, all of those experiences are human, and though the details might be more applicable to certain groups, the underlying feelings that inform my point of view are universally relatable. There are so many other stories being ignored for the sake of white heterocentric narratives. We could stop making shows about straight white men right now and there would still be enough to last until the end of time. Television and movies are all about recreating the human experience, and when you’re blatantly excluding certain types of people, the underlying message is “you aren’t part of this experience” which is bullshit.

We’ve talked about Cameron Esposito here before: there was the Autostraddle interview, the clip that went viral promoting the album, and the time she got called “the future of comedy” by Jay Leno.

Get Baked: Corn Chowder And Vegetable Broth

Get Baked: Corn Chowder And Vegetable Broth

My girlfriend was sick last week, so I decided to make some soup for both of our health. For her, it was a warm and tasty meal served in bed and prepared with love. For me, it was an excuse to leave the house to go to the grocery for a bit, then spend a couple hours in the kitchen chopping vegetables, cooking soup, and washing dishes.

I made corn chowder with a recipe adapted from The New Book of…
