A genuinely interesting interview with gay author Christopher Rice about the Amazon debacle @Queerty: ” … they need to stop acting like a drunken elephant and starting like a gentle giant. They need to recognize their influence and their size and they need to behave accordingly,” and Unfriendly Fire author Nathaniel Frank at @huffpo on What to make of #Amazonfail.

Reunion: “This week, I’m meeting with the psychiatrist who oversaw my transition and the first few months of my re/de-transition …” (@feministe)

The Long Move into “Grey Gardens” (@the latimes)

Drew Barrymore: “Most of my best friends are gay and they all act like [Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale], talk like her, dress like her at certain moments — they all quote her all the time … I can’t tell you the level of fear and sickness I would feel when they would imitate her. They know her and love her so well — what if I do something that doesn’t feel right with them?”

    • Agreed to the yay for Mr. NY. Looks like things are comming along. Slowly but surely.

      As far as school problems go, maybe you should participate in the “Day of Silence.”

      It’s Friday, April 17th. Across the nation students come together to speak out (or lack there of) about LGBT bullying in schools. I’ve gotten it together for my school, it really isn’t hard. You can find out more on their website. :)

      P.S. Wonderful video of cat on the prowl.

  1. riese, where are you finding all of these photos of half-naked girls on top of each other?

      • I actually have sort of a stockpile on my computer which I’ll be gradually adding into these galleries. It’s sort of what I do when I can’t sleep sometimes.

        Buttt I think this one I found through:

        we heart it searching for lesbians then I outclicked to something that went to I think a lesbian art flickr group or something, and then eventually landed on the flickr set of this photographer: fedrico erra who is amazing! I thought I’d set up the photo to link out. damn you wordpress!

        This is clearly my real destiny!

  2. haviland totally wasnt wearing her seat belt. not safe. also i love how haviland cant play basketball…..but totally tried anyways. also also also also the song she sang…… autumn kinda almost likes that song…alot.

    im not a huge fan of american idol…. but that dude has some serious pipes.

    • I am not a fan of American Idol either but I’ve enjoyed watching his videos … I think Haviland probs figured that hat could double as an airbag?

  3. Do we know this American Idol kid is gay? I don’t watch the show, so I don’t know. But I can totally get behind any dude, gay or straight, who wears eyeliner.

    • I think he’s admitted to at least being bi? But yeah, obvs I’m with you on the eyeliner. It’s the rickie vasquez effect.

  4. I was JUST able to watch that Cat on the Prowl…playing basketball in a hat and scarf=amazing.

    That was awesome.
