Drinking Outside the Box: 7 Box Wines Fit For Grownups
Drinking Outside the Box: 7 Box Wines Fit For Grownups
I was going to start this article, like all articles on nice box wines these days, with some semi-apologetic run-down of how box wine has come a long way baby, and is not the sad crates of alcoholic capri-sun of yesteryear, but I mean, screw that. Box wine doesn’t need an apology.
The New Comic “Lucky & Scary” Features an Adorable Queer Couple
The New Comic “Lucky & Scary” Features an Adorable Queer Couple
I’m just an absolute sucker for a cute queer romance between two ladies, and so when I found out about the new comic Lucky and Scary I was tickled pink. Here we have the Tale as Old as Time: a cute blonde femme with a penchant for dressing like Sailor Moon meets a “very gender neutral chick” with a sweet leather jacket and the two fall head-over-heels in love. Writer and artist Hannah Hallman shows us little peeks into their relationship in these charming one-shots that show us both the highs and the lows of queer love.

Orphan Black Episode 203 Recap: Mingling Its Own Nature With It
Hey Cloniacs! Welcome to the recap of the third episode of Orphan Black!
We open in the woods, where Sarah, Felix and Kira have spent the night in their stolen truck. While Sarah seems extremely comfortable roughing it up and peeing in the woods, Felix equates camping with being homeless in the country. Obviously he’s never been to A-Camp/Jewish camping.
Cecily McMillan’s Conviction Provides Helpful Primer on How the Criminal Justice System Is Totally F*cked
Cecily McMillan is an activist involved in the Occupy movement, but that probably isn’t how you’ve heard of her. More likely you’re familiar with her name because today she was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. The NYPD claims that McMillan intentionally elbowed Officer Grantley Bovell in the face on St. Patrick’s Day 2012. McMillan and her defense claim that McMillan elbowed someone behind her without knowing who they were in an attempt to stop them from groping her breast. It appears that the jury eventually came to believe the NYPD’s narrative.

This Thing Bigger Than Us: Sexuality, Religion and Wellness
This Thing Bigger Than Us: Sexuality, Religion and Wellness
The crowd of protesters stood alongside the Pride parade route. As they waved their signs and Bibles, a group of volunteers unfurled a giant rainbow flag and began walking steadily back and forth obscuring the protesters from view. As I watched, I realized many of us have this same struggle going on inside. For some, the messages of hate might be echoes from the past — a family, a church, a town, a culture we left behind. For others, it is the environment they live in every day. It may come to us in stories about executions in other countries. It may come to us from the mouths of people we loved and trusted. Regardless of our backgrounds or current affiliations, we have all suffered to some degree from moralized hate.
25 Ways To Get Broccoli All Up In Your Business
25 Ways To Get Broccoli All Up In Your Business
I have a confession: I am a really lazy cook. Most dinners I make are simple and easy productions, and thus, broccoli is my best friend. Broccoli gets a bad rep from picky, whiny kids heard ’round the world (like peas, right?!), but it’s one of the easiest veggies to cook.

Girls’ Happiness Plummets Circa Age 11, Says New Study and also a Billion Older Studies
A new study on youth wellness out of the UK is making headlines for its finding that reported rates of self-esteem, resilience, emotional wellbeing and “satisfaction with one’s community” plummet around the age of 11, and continue dipping until the age of 16 — and that this drop is far more severe for girls than it is for boys. Furthermore, researchers blame “the march of technology as one of several factors making teenagers unhappy, including obvious factors like hormones and changing friendship groups.” The Daily Mail is one of several news outlets who have seized on the “technology” angle and thus managed to stuff about twenty hot topics into its excessively long headline:”Children become less happy after age 11 amid rise of cyberbulling [sic], online porn and sexting- and it affects girls worse than boys.” But this phenomenon is hardly new or limited to the Internet Age. Far from it, actually.

I Tried Not to Have Feelings at Sundance London; These Three Movies Made Me Fail
As far as I could tell, unlike what Keely basked in at the (original) Sundance Festival in Park City, Utah, Sundance London was not very gay at all. To be fair, I do have rather high standards for queer representation – if the world’s something like 90% heterosexual, then I think it’s only right that there should be queer ladies in 100% of my media – but still I had far more tickets than they had gay, which was a cause of some distress.
