I love this idea.
Love and mourning can be such interesting inspirations for art, and in her case, activism.
Us in Milwaukee This Weekend!

Details: Stu Rasmussen
Details magazine did an interview with and profile on Stu Rasmussen, who they’re calling America’s 1st Trangender Mayor.
Anyone know if that’s actually true?
Not a Ferret
Our big Endymion trying to find the catnip cigar he got for his birthday. (They turn 9 this year.)
A Kind of Love Letter
From the Best of Craig’s List Toronto, a kind of love letter from a straight guy to every “hot/nerdy/self-possessed/athletic/capable/charismatic lesbian” he’s ever met.
I guess we could just be buddies. I can resign myself to the friend-zone if you promise to go girl-watching with me once in a while. Maybe then you’ll see that I don’t want to “turn” you (for the sake of either ego or Jesus). I just want to get physical in a way that would make a straight girl’s over-sized purse explode. I fully trust you’ve got some knowledge to drop.
Don’t judge me, oh hot diggity dyke, if I don’t fit into your worldview. Just hold me once in a while and tell me that I’m simply another colour in our glorious rainbow.
Another queer heterosexual trying to work it out.
Teabagging

You’ve gotta love the fact that conservatives against Obama’s tax policies have inadvertantly introduced the nation to an obscure sex act. Happy tax day everyone!
Two Tune Tuesday: Happy Anniversary to Us
11 years ago today, I saw her lean against a kitchen counter. She offered me a beer.
(happy anniversary, doll. thanks for the exciting, never boring, unpredictable ride of my life.)
#TransTuesday
Does everyone know about Twitter’s #SameSexSunday and #TransTuesday?
RIP: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
In a not an unironic juxtaposition, Epistemology of the Closet author Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick has died at the age of 59. Without her, there would be no Queer Studies.
#AmazonFail
Honestly, I’m pretty cheered by the response to #AmazonFail: so many people upset about censorship, and censorship of LGBT, sex-positive, and related topics.
Not a bad thing at all. There’s a reasonably good summation at CNET and at WiredPen (which has the PW report about it being caused by a glitch) (& there’s my post from yesterday about it, with links to a lot of the original sources).
