Rebel Girls: Your Handy-Dandy Map to the Feminist Movement

Click for More Posts!
To discuss feminist theory, you first need to be able to visualize a roadmap of what the fuck feminism is. For just like you and I contain multitudes, so does the movement which advocates for women’s empowerment and equality. Feminism itself is made up of lots of itty bitty (or super major) factions, although they aren’t necessarily at war; it’s also come a long way, and is…

Drawn to Comics Takes a Look at My Feminist Pull List!

by rory midhani
This week I thought I’d light a fire, pour out some drinks and get up close and personal. Every week I talk about some of the great comics I get to read, and many (maybe all?) of the webcomics that I talk about are ones that I read every week. But there’s another aspect to my comic fandom that I don’t talk about as much on here, and that’s my weekly pull list. For those of you who…

Rhymes With Witches: Bryan Fuller’s Slacker Goddesses, Jaye and George

Pop culture idolizes slacker dudes, but where are the slacker dudettes? Hit films like The Big Lebowskiand anything from Judd Apatow have cemented slackerdom as a guys paradise and I’m sure one could argue that this lead to the stereotype of career driven women that are “leaning in”. But what about the women who are leaning back? Before there was this “golden age of female comedy” where I could…

Dear Queer Diary: The Place Where You Journal

When I tell people that I write a (nearly) weekly column about journaling, I often get skeptical looks. How could someone possibly come up with something new to say about writing in a journal every seven days? I will admit that it does sometime seem a tiny bit ridiculous.
And yet you, my dearest queerest diarists, have borne testament to the fact that my quest is not, in fact, an impossible one.…

Fool’s Journey: Good Cards, Bad Cards

It’s very common, especially when you’re learning tarot, to see certain cards as ‘good’, meaning only happy things for the querent, and others as inherently ‘bad’, so that the sight of them is enough to totally freak you out.

Amy Falcone’s “Clique Refresh”: An Awesome Webcomic About Online Gaming and Friendship

by rory midhani
Amy T. Falcone is kind of a favorite around here. I’ve already written about something she worked on when I covered Erica Greco’s (who I had the pleasure of meeting at A-Camp) comic Mix Tape, which Falcone colored. Another of her comics, Cardigan Weather, was also featured in Hansen’s post about Seven Queer Webcomics That Aren’t DAR. Plus, back when the comic I’ll be talking…

Without a Safety Net: Talking Women-Owned Tech Startups with Section II’s Allie Esslinger

I’ve covered the Lesbians Who Tech Summit twice now, and each time I got to meet the fabulous Allie Esslinger. Aside from being a generally wonderful and wonderfully nerdy person, she’s also the co-founder and CEO of Section II — a sort of Netflix with just lesbian/queer women’s content. LBTQ. None o’ that “G” up in here. You heard right. It’s an entire website dedicated to films that reflect…

There are more YA books with queer characters and themes than ever before, but almost no mainstream adult fiction with the same:

Wilder Hungers: Balsamic Strawberry, Rhubarb, and Chia Pudding

Hi Straddlers and Happy Summer!
Summer Shenanigans are in full force right now around these parts. A glimpse of what I’ve been up to lately:
1) I had a 20-mile bike excursion with my girlfriend and saw parts of NYC that I’ve never seen before. This was all part of our summer bucket list which says that we have to ride more bikes (It also says we have to cook an entire meal over an open fire by…
