We’re making crafts, putting a bird on it and pretending to be Shane.

As a prairie homo, I have a lot of feelings about the night sky.

“This was the first city that I chose for myself, and I’ve never looked back. This is home, and for good reason.”

The South is notoriously friendly. It is also notoriously bigoted. In 2006, the year I moved to Nashville, an anti-marriage equality proposition passed. It felt like a slap in the face and a sign to leave. Six years later, I couldn’t be more happy that I stayed.

A thiasos was a little like A-Camp.

“I continued to make intense eye contact with my interviewer, concentrating to the point of not blinking. To her credit, she did sometimes look down, but it was usually to take in my tie, skipping my face altogether.”

There’s a 99% chance you’re already well versed in kale, but I will recruit the rest into Camp Kale with some shitty haikus.

This week on Glee, the cool kids came back and sang songs and everybody got ready to embarrass themselves at sectionals and Carrie Bradshaw had a kiki!
