Hello April showers! I can tell that May flowers are on the way because it’s been super rainy this week. Here’s the news we missed while I was putting on my rain boots. (And by rain boots, I mean Doc Martens. Because they’re the best boots for every purpose.)

Janet Mock Recently sat down with Fusion’s Alicia Menendez and totally flipped the script on how an interview with a trans woman normally goes. Instead of answering a barrage of uncomfortable and unnecessary questions, this time Mock gets to ask the questions. And it is beautiful.

Newsflash: Real humans are connected with one another whether they like it or not. They are awkward and dumb and wave their arms around if they get upset enough; real humans all have personal touchstones that are “off the map” because there is no map. We are so maplessly, ridiculously uncool that whole cultures and subcultures, whole personalities even, have been built to hide our ridiculousness from ourselves.

Mary Gaitskill on why judge people for being uncool – an incredibly thoughtful excerpt from the book Let’s Talk About Love: Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste.

Also see Gaitskill on the 6 motives of creativity.

Top 10 Moments From Angel Haze And Ireland Baldwin’s Maybe Love Affair

Top 10 Moments From Angel Haze And Ireland Baldwin’s Maybe Love Affair

image

If you follow pansexual rapper Angel Haze or sometimes-model Ireland Baldwin (daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger) on Twitter, odds are good you may have noticed the palpable sexual tension between the two. Although Autostraddle is a responsible publication and hesitant to make any broad declarations about the nature of the relationship between these two supernaturally goodlooking humans, let’s just face facts — they are constantly posting gooey, lovey-dovey messages about one another like a couple of teenagers in love. Somewhere out there, these two gorgeous humans are MAYBE rubbing their perfect bone structures against each other on a fuzzy pink cloud while “Parentheses” by the Blow plays on portable speakers in the near vicinity. We can and will applaud their mutual and responsible decision to just be so fucking adorable all the time.

Make A Thing: Sew Yourself a Butch Kindle Case

Make A Thing: Sew Yourself a Butch Kindle Case

image

It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year — that’s right, when it finally becomes weather-appropriate to read outside on the beach with a beer. If you’re like me and too cheap to shell out for a twee Kindle case, try sewing your own instead! Reasons you should try this: it’s affordable and customizable, nobody else will have the same one, and it’s not so dainty it would mess with your Muscle Beach style.

Molly Alice Hoy is a comic artist and writer who also scores an 82.6/100 on the Super Gay Scale. She also lives in LA with her fiancee, a cat and a dog. Her work has been featured everywhere from Buzzfeed to The Huffington Post. Her cute and simply drawn comics drew me in immediately, and every time I see another one by her, it brings a smile to my face and warms my heart.

Meet AB Chao - Special Guest Staff at A-Camp 5.0
AB is a writer, decorator, design camp director, southerner, mom, and so much more.  She’s coming to A-Camp and she’s ready to share her many talents and her passions for nail polish and shrimp po-boys with you. 
  • A-Camp Activities: Mommy Queerest, Decorating Workshop, Mini Design Camp
  • What are you most excited about in coming to A-Camp?
    AB: While my idea of “camping” generally includes something called a Heavenly Bed, I am real excited to get down and dirty in the wilds of nature with my fellow queermos. I am also excited to drop some old-lady-gay-mom wisdom, get crafty (with scissors!), and hold a teeny-tiny-mini AB Chao Design Camp. 
  • What’s your favorite thing that you’re packing?
    AB: Wait, I thought this was nude camping? DAMN IT.

Hey Clonesters, welcome to the recap of the second episode of the smash hit show my mother refers to as “Orphan is the New Black.”
We open in the hospital where nurses are tending to Helena. Everyone seems pretty amazed that she’s even alive, considering she took a bullet to the chest.
