Sober in the City: 20 Summer Mocktail Recipes to Try Now

I was a bit out of sorts when I first got sober: anxious, stressed, angry, depressed. Everything bothered me, and living in NYC didn’t help the situation. One of my good friends would patiently listen to me complain non-stop about any and everything. Until one day she had just had it with me. I was going on and on about how it was just so unfair that I would never be able to drink again, until…

1. I would invite her to my home for a romantic string cheese & wine tasting.

4. We’d give scissoring another try.
5.I would take her to brunch at a cafe where we would both be hopelessly undecided between french toast…

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…

Top Ten Other Things We Can Just Stop Worrying About If They Have Female Names

Today, the world found out that hurricanes aren’t actually dangerous if they have Lady Names instead of Dude Names! Just kidding, they’re EXACTLY AS DANGEROUS, you gormless paste-eating idiots. That’s why they keep KILLING SO MANY PEOPLE, because a bunch of shitbirds are too stupid and misogynistic to realize that anything could still be deadly once they’ve slapped cartoon eyelashes onto it in…

Get Your Knit On With These Seven Garter Stitch Projects (That Aren’t Scarves)

Be honest: you’ve always wanted to learn to knit. Maybe you’ve already started! Maybe you have the first three rows of a scarf in the back of your closet underneath a box of cat toys. In my experience, part of the reason that initial knitting attempts stall out (or never get started) is that we don’t have enough achievable motivation. Knitting a multicolored lace shawl is awesome, but takes a lot…

9 Famous Queer Ladies Who Figured it Out A Little Later

The traditional lesbian narrative goes something like this: in girlhood, the protagonist encounters a series of “signs” that suggest homosexuality is afoot. The protagonist feels nothing for boys, and so many things for girls, usually culminating in a crush on a straight best friend during adolescence. Often, intolerant parents and friends will encourage the protagonist to be straight, thus…

12 (More) Ladies Who Were Writing Sexy Lesbian Love Letters Before You Got Born

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, romantic friendships between women were everywhere. Women professed their love, platonic and erotic, for each other at length, often in letters.
In Sapphistries, Leila J. Rupp writes:
“Are these expression of physical desire? Formulaic expressions of friendship? Or sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both? What might it mean that a woman would imagine traces of another’s kisses on her face when the two had never met? After all, what counts as sex?”
Though the women below might not have been together according to the way we think of being together (and imposing contemporary ideas of sexuality on them is incorrect), it’s clear from their words that their relationships were passionate and full of sex sometimes and love and longing always.

14 Locations Conducive To Lesbianism According To 1954′s “Female Homosexuality”

Last week at Treehorn Books in Santa Rosa, I came across yet another volume from my favorite genre, “faux sociological studies of human sexuality that say crazy-ass shit about lesbians.” Female Homosexuality: A Psychodynamic Study of Lesbianism, was written by Dr. Frank S. Caprio, the esteemed “co-author of ‘Sexual Deviations,’” another undoubtedly delightful edition chock-full of facts and measures. Unlike the faux-doctors who authored most of the books in this genre under false pseudonyms, however, Frank Caprio appears to be a real doctor. His later work focused mainly on self-hypnosis.

20 Gifts To Make For Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is this weekend! Have you gotten your mom something awesome yet? (I see you, procrastinators!) I like to give handmade gifts for “appreciation” days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher Appreciation Day and so on and so forth. Taking the time to make something handmade shows how much you care, which is what the day is all about, right? It’s also super easy to spoil moms with crafty stuff this Mother’s Day, because no one appreciates your skills quite like the human who saved all of your paintings from K-12 Art Class.
