One of the things about taking a retail job after having a “real” career for 10 years, it gives you a different perspective on things. I remember my first couple Black Fridays when I was working my way through college as more hectic and exhausting. This year, however, I was mostly irritated at the insanity [...]
I think I read somewhere in my seasonal employment contract that I was obligated to watch part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on TV. Which is a much more awesome excuse than just admitting that I sorta like the crappy television tradition. Fingers crossed that next year I can maybe see the real thing if [...]
So I just saw this promo video pop up from my old employer… Not to beat a dead horse, but I think in light of the economic realities of our country and the current queer community zeitgeist, this video and this event seems especially tone deaf and ill-advised. I question whether the “leader” of O&E [...]
Laura pointed this video out to me, thinking I might like it. I don’t hate it. Please add “scantily clad male models posing as furniture” to your holiday shopping list for me.
Okay, so I tried watching the new remake of Knight Rider. I vaguely remember enjoying this show when I was a wee little homosexual confused about things like cars and in-his-prime David Hasselhoff’s chest (these days, only cars confuse me). Sadly, despite a rather generous amount of soap-style acting from Justin Bruening (see photos above), [...]
Candace Gingrich pens a letter to her brother, Newt: This is a movement of the people that you most fear. It’s a movement of progress — and your words on FOX News only show how truly desperate you are to maintain control of a world that is changing before your very eyes. Then again, we’ve [...]
So, unless you’ve been ignoring today’s news, you’ve probably already heard about Sarah Palin giving a news interview while turkeys are slaughtered in the background (warning: link includes uncensored footage). As a vegetarian, I get to cast more judgment that most of you do. It’s disgusting and shows (yet again) how clueless she is as [...]
Apparently there was a huge gang bust in my neighborhood today. Police arrested over 40 people for gun and drug trafficking and murder. They called themselves the Northside Taliband. It snowed today. Not enough to stick to the ground, but a few light snowflakes throughout the day. Long day tomorrow with an early shift followed [...]
So, I decided to dash over to City Hall on my lunch break and join the national day of queer rights protests. I couldn’t stay long enough to hear Margaret Cho (that’s right, bitches, we got the patron saint of queer radicals at our protest in Cinci-fucking-nnati) speak, but I did see several friends and [...]
I can’t make it, I have to be at work (although only 4 blocks away, so maybe on my break…), but in the interest of being a responsible community member, I’m helping spread the word about Cincinnati’s protest for queer equality this Saturday. Time and Place Date: Saturday, November 15, 2008 Time: 1:30pm – 4:30pm [...]
