I fully intend this mix to swim through your stereo as I’m writing you a symphony of sound.

I love the idea of mixtapes, but I live in England, so sending physical disks could get a little expensive/be difficult?
-
I’m trying to figure out costs and stuff but apparently the US Postal Service is way more complicated than I ever gave it credit for. Apparently envelopes sent internationally can’t be “rigid” which makes sending a cd a little more complicated.
I wonder if we can just use those padded media envelopes, if you know what I’m talking about? You can…[Read more]

Okay, update when you know more please (I tried to navigate the USPS site, but it’s rather confusing) Also the only restrictions that I know of for UK to US sending is that parcels have to be below 500g to be eligible for airmail (as a CD weighs around 60g it should definitely be fine)
-
-
Looks like there is a few of us in the UK maybe we could be a subgroup to save complication! although I quite like the idea of international post!!!

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoI’m a huge Vonnegut fan and I am reading Mother Night next. I’ve already read and loved Slaughterhouse Five, The Sirens of Titan and Breakfast of Champions and various nonfiction short works of his.
-
Have you read Cats Cradle by Vonnegut? I feel like that book gets all up in my brain and spits out things I never thought anyone else felt. It’s a wonderful, quick read
-
I’ve never read and Vonnegut, I feel like that’s a sin to say or something. Any first book recommendations?
-
I say try Slaugherthouse Five or Cat’s Cradle. CC is a little lighter and a quicker read; while S5 is a bit darker and the plot line is a lot less linear. Both are great reads!
-
Cool, I think i’m going to pick up both. Thank you.
-
-
-
I have it, but have not gotten to reading CC yet. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it, I’ve liked everything I’ve read by him!

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoI like to read a bunch of books at once. I just finished and really enjoyed Julie Serrano’s Whipping Girl, which made me realize I had a lot of internalized misogyny with regards to femininity (as a tomboy growing up and a more masculine-ish girl, it was often hard for me to relate to really femmy people, so this read was a good read for me,…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoA few months back I read Just Kids by Patti Smith. It was phenomenal – and I mean really, really good. I’m an avid reader and I think it’s the best thing i’ve read all year. The book pays homage to the life of artist/photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and the relationship between Robert and Patti Smith. It mainly takes place during the late 60s…[Read more]
-
Just Kids is fantastic. Patti Smith has such a wonderful way of telling stories. There was a really great review of it over at This Recordings that beautifully articulates all my feelings about the book.
Have you read Please Kill Me? The story is about the same era and scene, but the style is really different. It paints a much harsher portrait…[Read more]
-
Yeah, I read Please Kill Me but quite a few years ago now. I think I have it in my house somewhere, I should re-read it! I’ll check out the This Recording review – now i’m curious
-

ooh I bought that for my mom last year for Christmas, but I haven’t read it. Next time I go to visit I’ll have to swipe it.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoIs it ok to ask for book recommendations here? I’m in the process of starting up a queer reading group at my university and I’d like to have a reading list drafted up before the end of summer/start of term. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? We’re looking for both fiction and non-fiction and books touching various different topics…[Read more]

Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson, Nightwood by Djuna Barnes, Holding Still for as Long as Possible by Zoe Whittall, Angels in America by Tony Kushner, Anything by Virginia Woolf, I like A Room of One’s Own and Hedwig and the Angry Inch read the play, then you can watch the movie!!
-
Thanks! I’m making note of all your suggestions. The last idea is a definite winner with me- any excuse to watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch!
-
Also, I forgot Patti Smith – Just Kids is really great.

And the Band Played On is an incredible history of the early days of the AIDS epidemic, with (obviously) a heavy emphasis on the gay men who were affected. It might be especially appropriate given that we just observed the 30th anniversary of the first AIDS diagnosis.
Call Me By Your Name is also great–one of the hottest books I’ve ever read,…[Read more]-
Thanks for reminding me about And The Band Played On. It was a long time ago when I read it but I learned so much from that book.

Why not the Beaver, Clinton’s Tavern (I can hook you up), Sneaky Dees?
-
sneaky dees!
-
best nachos in town
-
i’d be up for sneaky dee’s! never been to clinton’s tavern or the beaver.
-
haven’t been to any of those but up for trying new places. :)
-
The Beaver is small but pretty badass, Sneaky Dee’s is busy – they have live gigs (Wavelength most notably), upstairs. Clinton’s is a dive bar but also has great live music and drink specials. Alto Lounge is another option, but it’s more of a club – nice patio though. All queer friendly.
-
they all sound good :) let’s do sneaky dee’s since everyone sounds excited about it, and we can try the others next time?

OKAY WAIT do y’all just want to come to my place?
We can maybe do a food/drink thing, everyone bring a little somethin’ somethin’
Or is it too early in the relationship to be inviting you over? ;)
I must confess a big motivator for this is that I’ve almost completely run out of money and haven’t found a summer job yet. Going out for stuff is not…[Read more]-
The only issue I have with this is I wouldn’t be able to bring any food cause traveling 1-1.5 hours in bus/subway is not generally pleasant for noms. But yes, I can do drinks. I live a block away from wine and beer stores lol
btw nice haircut ;)-
Thank you! No food is fine but I guess it looks like it’ll be some other time anyway
-
-
It may be fine later on, but I dunno if I want to go to a strangers house? I’m not sure if I am overreacting, but I would prefer a public place for an online meetup lol.
-
Yeah, I guess I’ve only met christine, and if you don’t know her you can’t really take her word for it that I’m a 5’1″ lesbian student who’s just a weirdo in the most harmless sense of the term

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoI’m reading Mark Twain’s a Yankee in King Arthers Court. I have not read it since I was a youngin and I’m always surprised at how relevant his work is still today. And the old time rhythm of writing is my favourite. I rarely read new books. Unless they are really good or the subject matter is interesting. I don’t like the way people write today. I…[Read more]
