Setlist for Biophilia Live, 2/25 →
Shit I did this weekend includes: waiting at least 45 minutes in the biting cold in the tourist trap that is Midtown to see my homegirl Björk perform. Marsha & I were expecting a more non-traditional show — because playing a circular stage surrounded by flat screens, bringing in your own Iceland choir, having David Attenborough announce each piece, and using Tesla coils and other...

Crazy Like Us: The Globalisation of the Western...
fuckyeahgenderstudies: I’ve pretty much finished this book and i would heartily recommend it to everyone. It’s definitely the best book i’ve read this year. I found the portions on anorexia nervosa and depression (having personal experience with both and having undertaken academic research on AN) particularly compelling and ultimately persuasive. US link UK link “This fascinating book...

I need to stop consuming grapefruit and grapefruit related oddities on my days off. I’m surprised how regular this has become.

Paper Magazine: Rufus Wainwright Talks Opera Prima... →
“What’s fantastic about opera is you can’t fake it. There’s no way [to fake] the singer having to sing without a microphone and filling the hall and the violinist being able to hit those runs and the conductor having to communicate with one hundred people and the intimacy of a moment…How the opera’s doing is a prime example of how we’re doing in society....

The Caesar salad: the pride of Tijuana
univisionnews: By DIANA OLIVA CAVE Channel: Culture, Food The Caesar salad is from Mexico. Who knew? Well, it’s true. While many people consider the Caesar salad an Italian restaurant staple, turns out that it is Prohibition-era Tijuana that we have to thank for the invention of this divine dish. It’s debatable who exactly concocted the very first one, but at some point in the 1920’s Caesar...

Lady-Parts, the Church and Planned Parenthood →
This has probably been posted & reblogged to death by now, but I gotta pitch in my two cents and give Sara Benincasa props for this piece. It shows so well an aspect of Planned Parenthood that seems often ignored: PP provides health care services that are not just low cost and accessible, but compassionate. I go to my own local league for all sorts of medical consultations whenever...

Excuse me, I thought it was the future.
Friends, Virginians, Countrymen — if you’re not paying attention to HB 1 and HB 462, please do. HB 1, which was passed yesterday in the House of Delegates, grants “the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this commonwealth.” HB 462, also passed yesterday in the house,...

curiositycounts: “I get really upset when I’m walking downtown and there are three young people walking toward me—all with their heads down. I try to make eye contact to say hello, good morning, and nothing. The disconnect there bothers me, and that’s going to get nothing but worse. I’ve got my iPhone and GPS and news anytime I want it. But my mindset is: I’m not married to this thing. I don’t...

RuPaul: Half a Century of Pure Glamour →
RUPAUL: …Understand that you are not your body. You are not your circumstances. You can transcend every situation, even - believe it or not - death. And many people have come to this planet to tell you that. You can transcend any of it, because it’s really all a dream. I don’t want to freak people out with this stuff, but, hey, that’s what’s going on here. MARTIN:...

Holy matrimony, Batman
One of my favorite homegirls tied the knot on NYE and I missed the memo somehow.  We were best friends at 16, when life in general was so much harder for me. Then we got older, life became easier, and I retreated further and further into my introvert shell. When I look at her wedding pictures, I suspect that I’ve had my priorities wrong all these years.  BRB TIME TO GO WATCH...
