I like gender. I like being a girl. I just want to be the girl who kicks the most ass.

Are most bloggers male? I hear it's true.

I'm not male. But maybe I'm less feminine than the average woman. Maybe the question isn't "Are all bloggers male," but , "Are all bloggers masculine?"

Can't gender matter a little less?

All these people who worry so much about gender. Let it blend. Man. Let it blend.

I Look Up To The Sky Now explores the challenges and triumphs of New York City's queer youth community. Through a mosaic of video self portraits, twelve young artists take on the difficult task of defining themselves. Their individual journeys provide an inspiring portrait of a unique community as seen through the eyes of its creators, activists, and leaders.

GLAAD recently posted on their site a link to a new study showing that advertisers may be "missing out on the diverse gay and lesbian market." So, does this mean that all gay men aren't white lawyers like Will (from Will and Grace) , or stranger yet... maybe bisexuals do exist?


There's a whole community's history out there. We need to archive it somewhere, check out http://www.gaymuseum.org/. Can't let the advertisers and TV define the community, and re-write history...

From our hosting company's logs for September. Apparently, someone out there, on some search engine, found iPalimpsest when they searched for Wellness catfood.

Is it Buffy's hand rising from the grave? No! It was my hand after our (Jenny, David, some of David's friends) first century ride (www.nyccentury.org), hosted by http://www.transalt.org/. They gave us all the peanut butter and jelly on bagels that we could ever ask for, a Cliff Bar and the most amazing route in the entire world. We carried our bikes up at least three sets of stairs! We rode over the triborough bridge, through the South Bronx, over the Brooklyn Bridge . . . We rode on gravel, up Riverdale hills. 100 miles! (congrats to David and Ben-- the ones who finished 107.2 miles!)

Today I have spent some time rediscovering the films of Sadie Benning.

Sadie Benning has been a cause celebre in the queer community for almost a decade. Born in 1973 to a filmmaker father and an artist mother, she began making short films at age 15 and two years later came out as a lesbian. An iconoclast even as a teen, she employed the infamous "Pixelvision" camera in most of her early work and continues to use it. For the uninitiated, Pixelvision was a "kiddie camcorder" from the late 1980s that sold for $100.

I recently read an article about Blogs in Newsweek that talked about all these teens who'd write about drinking and sex on their blogs, forgetting that the web is a public space, and then get punished by their blog-reading parents. Maybe those of us who grew up wallowing in Catholic guilt could set up www.confessionalblogs.com.
