.gay And The Quiet War for Gay Internet
This is a story about top level domains or TLDs. The original six are the most popular: .com, .net, .org, .gov, .mil and .edu. And you know, there’s no set number of them — nowhere in any rulebook does it say “we shall only have x amount of top level domains.” You may have started to see a few more: Very, very recently more than 100 new gTLDs have been delegated to the Internet’s Root Zone.

Things I Read That I Love #130: Let Jolene Live Fierce and Free and Pure Fantasy
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 the 9/11 museum! 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…

Guess who’s back, back again?! Congratulations for surviving a year of your Netflix subscription without new episodes of Orange is the New Black. The wait is over. The time is nigh. The lesbians are streaming.

Rhymes with Witches: Orphan Black’s Clone Club
In an effort to step back from only talking about mean high school girls, I am venturing off to the next logical step: sci-fi. Not just any sci-fi, Canadian sci-fi. I don’t know why but every show I see come out of Canada looks like it was filmed in 2010, has character wardrobes taken straight out of Forever 21 racks and have at least 5 appearances from actors that were once in Degrassi. This…
Teaching an Old Appliance New Tricks: Nifty Things to do with a Slow Cooker
In every thrift store across this great land, tucked away in a forgotten corner of the housewares section, sits a potent culinary powerhouse – usually in harvest gold and priced at $5 or less. I speak, of course, of the humble slow cooker, which, with the input of a meager amount of electricity and some time, can coax the richest and most complex flavors from the humblest of ingredients. You may…

Now I know not everyone can pause everything else in their life to consume this second season as soon as it is…
100 Things That Are Orange, Ranked
This morning we had this fantastic idea to rank every orange thing. We knew it’d keep our minds sharp while I avoided thinking about my life and we all went nuts with anticipation regarding the impending release of Orange is the New Black Season Two. Now it’s night-time! Where does the time go?
Here are 100 Orange Things, ranked very loosely and often arbitrarily but usually very deliberately. We…
Time and time again, transmisogynists and transphobes go back to that old excuse that they are jut standing up for the reality of “biological sex” when they spew their ignorance and hate. They say that no matter what a trans woman does, no matter what she believes, she’s still actually a man. Others cede the fact that trans women are women, but stop there and say “gender is what’s between your…
DeAnne Smith’s Cute Face is on Television Tonight Making Your Cute Face HaHa
Last Comic Standing is a reality television show/stand-up competition that airs on NBC. You might have caught an episode or two in the past in one of its many iterations.
Slut-Shaming Becomes Even Grosser Than You Thought With Bonus Classism
“‘Good Girls’: Gender, Social Class and Slut Discourse on Campus” is a new study showing that slut-shaming is used between women to reinforce social class. “Good Girls” reminds us that patriarchy is not only a tool for men, but a tool for women with other privileged identities to use against women with marginalized identities. “We are unconvinced that women would engage so enthusiastically in…
