Hello Everyone! This is the first post for A-Camp 5.0
I always like to post something I did in hopes people will feel really comfortable confessing to me.
I also wanted to start all this confessing off with a bang. The bar has been raised. I mean I put names on it! (Hey Torre)
Who doesn’t like to know that someone has a crush on them? I’m just sitting over here raising people’s self esteems.
So, everyone please start confessing!!! I have not had nearly enough submissions. THANKS!!
How do queer nerds meet other queer nerds on a small city whose lgbt centre caters only to the G? I am seriouzly askung advice here, not whining.

Or you could treat women in a respectable way and then there would be no need to provoke social change but I’m just spitballing here.

+ The Casual Sex Project, run by sex researcher, educator and NYU instructor Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, is collecting stories about all kinds of hookups. In an interview with Nerve, Vrangalova says:
“The media loves sensationalist stories and so the image they portray is often exaggerated and biased, though not always in the same direction. It’s very whimsical…

On Making Mistakes and Futzing About
How many people here have mastered, truly mastered, their technology inside and out? I know I haven’t. There’s still PLENTY I have no idea how to do, even writing the tech column for y’all every week. And this week, I’ve just gotten back from A-Camp, which for me only means one thing: A-Plague. A-Plague is the illness I get every time I come down from the mountain. Every. Damn. Time. Except this…

Sarah’s next comic will ask the big questions on June 28th.
I don’t know about everyone else’s experience, but I always found it interesting how us queer kids naturally gravitated to one another. I remember kissing and holding hands with girls on field trips, sports trips, and even during recess in whatever private space we could find. Looking back, it is so uncanny to me now because I have no idea the point at which either party ever had to “identify.” It’s almost as if there was this unspoken language — we just knew. I don’t remember ever having to ask, “Will it make you feel weird if I hold your hand, you know, since I’m a girl and you’re a girl?” or “Hey, are you into girls? Because I want to kiss you.” I don’t remember any of that happening, I just remember that things happened and questions were unnecessary. The queer waves were emitted into the air and the next thing I know, I was holding hands and making googly eyes at my team mate in the back of her mom’s Toyota, on our way back from a cross country meet in which she had done very well and I had not, but that’s besides the point. All we cared about was that her mother had no idea that two little queer girls were holding hands and making googly eyes in the back seat of her car.

Going Beyond Going Down: Why Diverse Queer Sex On TV Matters
Abby: “I am almost to the end of the first season of Orphan Blackand one of the characters is gay — and I can’t tell you too much because I don’t wanna spoil it — and has gay sex. She just hooked up with a lady for the first time on the show. And another character on the show is a woman and has had sex with a man multiple times. And every time she has sex with a man, she is ass naked. Literally.…

Taking Over the World One Controller at a Time: The Good News About Queer Games
As a scientist, deciding to pursue game design was not unlike coming out. All of sudden I had this new identity different from the one I assumed I’d follow since forever. Thrillingly, all my preferences aligned — I could pursue graphic design, teaching, and science — by making educational games. But I also felt self-doubt and fear of rejection. Still do.
I am a game designer, but am I a gamer?…
