Okay, it’s been a few months since I posted a Music Monday column, and I’m not sure that I’ll be able to stay up with it, but a couple awesome songs came to my attention this week and I really wanted to share them. First up, Texas-born Matt Alber‘s “End of the World.” Alber’s voice [...]
When I first came out to my parents, I remember taking great pains to assure them that my sexual orientation had nothing to do with them. That it wasn’t “their fault.” Maybe I spoke to soon. In another of those studies looking to ferret out the cause of sexual orientation, researchers looked at the sexuality [...]
Well, after all my recent positive reviews of urban fantasy books and television shows, I was starting to feel like a hypocrite for judging Twilight without having watched it. Since Puntabulous’s Craig also got around to giving it chance this week (and liked it), I figured it wouldn’t kill me to watch the film. I [...]
Okay, I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for urban fantasy. It’s not as awesome as superhero stories, but a good tortured vampire or werewolf-with-a-heart-of-gold or wounded twenty-something ghost story is fine entertainment. Imagine my frustration that the new BBC show Being Human is really hard to see if you don’t live in the UK. If [...]
I don’t think I’m breaking the news to anyone in the family at this point (I really hope not), but we learned this week that my Aunt’s cancer is advanced. I have a new least favorite word. Terminal. It brings to mind train stops or airports, but then the actual meaning sinks in like a [...]
Today we celebrate the 200th birthday of two great men whose legacy continues to resonate in our Western world. Abraham Lincoln Charles Darwin February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865 February 12, 1809 – April 19, 1882 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in [...]
This week is the 12th annual Freedom to Marry Week (Feb 8-14). There’s a blogswarm project going on to promote marriage equality. I don’t know about you, but between the Inauguration Week Equality Matters project, the month-long online rally to overturn Prop 8, all the way back to the blogswarms to rally behind a United [...]
Rare moment of pretty in a crazy weather day. This photo was taken after the sirens and tornado warnings stopped, but before we lost power in the general high winds (of the non-tornado variety). It looks like a lot of folks still don’t have electricity, but my neighborhood is back in the grid.
The Bilerico Project is opening up a new point/counterpoint feature. One of the reasons I think TBP is the best queer blog on the internet is that rather than reposting news culled from elsewhere, they put thoughtful analysis into the issues of the day. In the first point/counterpoint, members of the community debate hate crime [...]
Random bits of news If you’re in New York City on February 21, please join the rally for the Coalition to Stop the Arrests. For several months, NYPD has been targeting men who have sex with men in a bogus prostitution stings out of adult bookstores. Whatever you think of these types of business, this [...]
