The deadline for submissions is October 25!
Julia Nunes has been self-producing her music for almost ten years, and her newest album “Ughwow” is a drastic change from her old sound in the best way possible. We talk about the work of being a human and how that’s showing up in her creative work lately.

It’s an excellent addition to both the cinematic Bat-universe and to The CW’s (already superqueer) superhero line-up, which is no small feat. It balances the fun and heart of Alex Danvers and Kelly Olson in National City, the cocky silliness of Sara Lance and Ava Sharpe in space-time, and the drama and grit of Anissa Pierce and Grace Choi in Freeland.

The Politician reads as if Ryan Murphy looked back on his already incredibly gay body of work and said: You know what I want to do with Netflix’s Scrooge McDuck piles of money? MAKE IT G-A-Y-E-R.
The book deftly acknowledges that each of its five main characters is different in their experience of their bodies, sexualities, genders, romantic interests, and overall development. It allows each kid to define their experience on their own terms and shows a little of their process of becoming comfortable with their unique selves, while promoting kind and thoughtful behavior toward all peers.
HONK!!!!!
It’s Libra season, but wanting love and harmony doesn’t mean we know how to get it. This is a powerful time to face our shadows side.
“hey i’m adding the search terms to the newsletter and just curious, what is “gazelle style sex”??????”
Dex Parios is a mess, and it’s a joy to watch her kick and claw her way through the world (and every man in her way).
Young M.A finally dropped her debut album, and babyyyy, it’s got flavor. This is the soundtrack to my black queer love story.
Valdez is attempting to radically change the industry. She’s also making a compelling case that she should be to 2019 what Julia Roberts was to 1999.
