Rhymes With Witches: The Frenemies of “Bachelorette”

Rhymes With Witches: The Frenemies of “Bachelorette”

I don’t understand why Bacheloretteisn’t a more popular movie. It’s one of the few movies that tackles female friendships in the most honest and brutal way possible. But even better, it showcases some of the most horrible, selfish, mean women ever to grace the silver screen. So obviously this makes it one of my favorite movies of all time. Seriously, I don’t even…

Dear Queer Diary: Food Journaling, Glorious Food Journaling

Food is very important to me — and I mean that in more than the usual food/water/shelter sense. In the past week alone, I have made pita bread from scratch, visited a new restaurant after perusing about a million Yelp reviews, and convinced my girlfriend that we needed to have ice cream on both Friday evening and Saturday afternoon (frankly, she didn’t need much convincing, which is one of the…

Welcome to a surprise, A-Camp edition of Straddler On The Street! I resurrected this incredible column to introduce everyone to Chelsea, a two-time A-Camp veteran and this year’s Kippier Clothier Camper.

Chelsea’s a Canadian teacher from Alberta, which she assured all of us was the “shanking capital of the world” when I met her at A-Camp 2014 in our cabin. She was a…

Back in April I highlighted the women (and one non-binary person) who were nominated for Eisner Awards, which many see as the premiere American comic book awards. Well, the winners of those awards were announcedat San Diego Comic-Con recently and so I thought I’d go over them and point out some of my favorites. But wait! That’s not all that was announced at Comic-Con! We also got…

Realize you hate iTunes. There are so many reasons to hate iTunes. Perhaps you have gotten pissed that it’s just damn slow. Maybe you’re peeved that it doesn’t monitor multiple folders or let you keep track of multiple collections and libraries very easily (fyi, you can have multiple iTunes libraries, it’s just not the smoothest).  Or it’s the lack of support for FLAC.…

Hi Straddlers! I hope you are all enjoying the dog days of summer so far. I have been to known to complain about the heat this time of year, which is odd for a Floridian, I know. I swear it feels a million times hotter when you are surrounded by concrete and buildings with no lakes to jump into. One thing I’m not complaining about is all the time I have spent in my kitchen lately. The farmers’…

Dear Queer Diary: Notes From An Inveterate People-Watcher

Dear Queer Diary_Rory Midhani_640px

My grandfather is an avid birdwatcher, and when I was yet a wee thing, a typical afternoon with Papa Dave consisted of a walk through the forest/fields/swamps toting my special child-sized binoculars in search of avian life. This was one of those grandparental bonding activities that I eventually grew out of—by the time I hit thirteen or fourteen, the sight of a nesting grouse no longer provided…

At the Rumpus, Danielle Summers writes about writing romance fiction as a feminist act:

“Romance fiction features a love story with a happy ending. Other than that, have fun with it.

And the fact that everyone gets a happy ending, that even the most downtrodden characters who might traditionally come to bad ends can fall in love and live…

One of my introductory-level WGST courses in college was called “Women’s Voices Through Time.” It was, obviously, not this playlist. But I’d like to present, in classically theoretical form, the concept that this playlist might be superior to that course in which I studied feminist theory because this playlist is about putting theory into praxis – on the dance floor, in the…
