Dear Queer Diary: We Are What We Read
If there’s one thing I love more than journaling, it’s reading. And if journaling is a warm and crusty baguette, it seems like reading should be a nice wedge of Trader Joe’s brie — these are clearly a) two great tastes that taste great together and/or b) the ingredients for a night of extremely classy romance.
This outrageously attractive couple met at Trader Joe’s, and although I don’t know for…
Fool’s Journey: I Feel Like Being in Love is Not Something I’m Meant For
The dilemma:I’ve been using online dating now for a year and a half now and I’ve not had a lot of success. There were a few girls who I went on dates with, and one I really, really like-liked, but no one has stuck around for more than a few weeks. It’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing, and with the lack of success I’ve had in off-line dating, I feel like being in love is just not…
Drawn to Comics: Lumberjanes #5 May Be the Best One Yet!
by rory midhani
Ooo eee! Does Lumberjanes kick it up a notch this week or what? This was already one of my five favorite current comics, but with this issue, it shot to the very top of the list. This issue was funny, it was intense, the art was amazing, we saw some great relationship moments between the Janes and we got some really, really interesting looks into the deeper mythology of the…
Artist: EVERYBODY
Cliffnotes: EVERYTHING
Same Aisle As: EVERYWHEREOkay, full disclosure, I’ve been mad busy and dealing with some gnarly depression for the last few weeks so anything that hasn’t been my full-time job, related to my dog/girlfriend, or showering has taken a backseat.
I have, however, been listening to a LOT of music and come across a lot of great artists I’d like to share with you.…

+ If you’re into (or into trying) g-spot play, Kinkly has some advice:
“Some people find they’re not interested in G-spot stimulation, or don’t like how it feels. Other people will tell you it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them. That’s what makes sexuality so fascinating (and experimenting so much fun!). So, just…

Dear Queer Diary: Take This Quiz, Know Thyself
Back in the days when I was still dating boys, Facebook kindly alerted me to the fact that my then-romantic interest (who I shan’t dignify with the term “boyfriend”) had taken a quiz entitled “Which non-existent fruit are you?”
Although I have done my best to forget many other aspects of our relationship, I will always recall this moment as a kind of watershed — the moment when the outrageous…
Roxane Gay’s “Bad Feminist” Reminds Us We’re All Human
Header by Rory Midhani
“I am failing as a woman. I am failing as a feminist. To freely accept the feminist label would not be fair to good feminists. If I am, indeed, a feminist, I am a rather bad one.”
Roxane Gay makes a variety of amazing points in her newly published book, Bad Feminist, not one of which makes me think she’s “doing it wrong.” (There were times where I bristled at her…

I’ve talked about Emily Carroll’s comics before, but now that she has a book, I want to highlight her work again. And now that summer is coming to an end and Autumn is upon us, it seems like the perfect time to take a closer look at the delightfully macabre comics that Carroll has quickly become a master of. Her first book, Through the Woods, came out in July, and it is just…

+ Sex workers can be really funny, and at Tits and Sass Lane Champagne discusses the role of humor in sex work activism:
“In a world that is awash in grisly tales of the sex trade and impossibly bad information about sex work and the people that do it, sometimes I’m afraid that our humor might be perceived as callous.…

Rhymes With Witches: Original Degrassi Mean Girl, Tabi
Have you ever loved a fictional character so much that their image is so ingrained into your head that years later after you’ve forgotten their name or even what show or movie they starred in, the image of this person is still crystal clear? That’s who Tabi is to me.
For all you non-Degrassihardcore fans; Tabitha, widely known as Tabi, was a character in the awesomely…
