Does anyone have advice for revitalizing a GSA? The one at my school has fallen apart, but I’m really hoping that we’ll be able to get it together this year.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoI just finished Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods” (588 pages)- it was bombin’! I love basically every single thing this man writes, but I was really hesitant to start this book, cause the basic plot line of old gods of America battling new gods didn’t appeal to me at all. I really should have known better, the book was fantastically well-written and…[Read more]

@internrachel @julia1 Oops, forgot that bit!

I have been wanting to read this book forever! I may push it further up the list now. :D

Ooh, I prefered Anansi Boys to American Gods. I just felt AG lost its way somewhere in the middle and though it came back again I was disappointed. In contrast to you I loved the premise and, like you, I loved how he pulled in lots of different mythologies. I’m interested to see what they do with the HBO series though (and I hear Gaiman’s going to…[Read more]

When I heard there was going to be an HBO series, I started flailing with joy so hard I thought I would take flight.
Now you say there’s supposed to be a 2nd AG book?!? It’s like all my birthdays have come at once!

Yep, he said it on Twitter, I believe, so it may be one of those take it with a pinch of salt things.
In this MTV interview (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1666281/neil-gaiman-american-gods.jhtml) it seems a bit more speculative but he does talk about a “10th-anniversary edition of “American Gods” will also feature more than 10,000 words…[Read more]

I freaking adore this book! It’s one of my all time favorites. Sometimes, I’ll get to the end and just flip right back to the beginning again because I’m not ready for it to be over.

Shameless plug– YouthPride is a very nice thing if you’re 13-24, so college kids seeking friends might want to hit that up. http://www.youthpride.org/

I wonder if there are similar things in DC/Baltimore because that looks helpful

Bring food.
SECONDED. cookies and brownies are the only reason mine ever gets new members. also, talk about like tv shows with gay/lesbian/trans* themes cuz EVERYONE likes television.
Structure helps a lot. My girlfriend and I essentially took over the GSA at our school, and the second we started actually figuring out what we’d be doing in meetings things started to work better. We went from 4 members in 2009/10 to ~20 this past year.
I’m VP of my school’s GSA and my GSA has been there before. 1st for events. plan well and don’t do everything by yourself. get people involved. make sure to take part and involve the school in human rights/ anti-bullying campaigns. go look for some some throughout the year like Coming Out Day. Sites to look for these events are GLSEN and the HRC.…[Read more]
