I am the penis and you are fuck fodder:... →
We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male…

Drawn together in the heart of District X, this...

Help me finish this list of LGBQT YA Graphic...
dcwomenkickingass:
A while back, I got a request for a list of LGBQT Young Adult graphic novels for a High School library. I got a few suggestions on Twitter, but now I want to throw it open to readers for suggestions.
So far I have Young Avengers, Runaways, Pedro and Me, Tough Love, Strangers in Paradise, Skim and Batwoman.
Please let me know your recommendations and I will compile a list...
DC Women Kicking Ass: Super Best Friends Forever... →
dcwomenkickingass:
Super Best Friends Forever debuted on DC Nation’s Cartoon Network and, for me at least, the 90 second short was better than 22 minutes of Green Lantern.
The plot was simple - Supergirl and Batgirl want Wonder Girl to “borrow” Wonder Woman’s invisible Jet. Lauren Faust has shown her ability to…

sugaronastick:
Director and equality activist Kevin Smith took on conservatives who demonize LGBT people during an interview with Piers Morgan yesterday, telling the CNN host the right needs to stay out of people’s bedrooms, specifically his gay, married brother’s.
“I know my brother, he’s a great guy, goes to church, doesn’t screw anybody over, and yet he’s still got some religious yahoos and...

The Future for Swagger Lee
I was told on the day of my presentation that it had to be 10 minutes, with a 5 min gap for questions. lolwut? Every other kid was informed of this except me which was just infuriating but I worked that shit. Swagger Lee: Redux Edition was fantabulous and one of my new pals said: “Oooh I could tell that was your heart in it right there. I almost cried twice.”
Siiigh, so it was a...

Tomorrow I go on tour
Promoting Swagger Lee at an Honors Conference. I feel like it’s my promo song - if I were in K-pop - and try as I might this blog just hasn’t been able to keep up with my life or ideas for articles so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to kind of STAY on this topic for a while. It’s big enough as it is really.

Susan Glasspell's Trifles →
A very beautiful, touching, and emphatic murder mystery that’s absolutely ferocious in its quiet elegance. These are NOT words one uses to describe a murder mystery but rather a chick flick, but Susan Glaspell does both in one and completely negates the fact of the latter to kind of transcend the genre. Instead of a sincere, sympathetic drama TARGETED towards women, it’s a story FOR...
Are Student Loans the Next Debt Crisis? →
infoneer-pulse:
This isn’t a new problem – student debt has ballooned more than 500 percent since 1999. And while the loan default rate was much higher in the early 1990s, the number’s been trending back up since 2005 – suggesting what the NACBA is calling a potential “debt bomb.” Their survey says almost half of bankruptcy attorneys have seen “significant increases” in potential clients. In...

Breaking up: What really happened
Jesus? Let me - Let me tell you about me and Jesus.
So me and him are kinda complicated right now. We’re at that stage of being friends but more than that but trying desperately not to be but we’re stuck regardless because of all the Goddamn(pun on his Father) history between us, right? He was my first and only boyfriend, and largely it was very much because we were arranged to be...

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.
2) I’m a contortionist. Yes. Again, since…
