Roller Derby, why have I not been to see you before? You are awesome.
I went on Saturday for my friend Anne’s birthday – to see the four teams in the Rat City Rollergirls. Awesome, awesome, awesome time! When I was a kid, I *lived* in my roller skates – to the point that, when skating, [...]

I used to be a regularly donating member of KUOW, our local NPR affiliate. There are things I love about KUOW, especially its good, accurate information about current events. But more than once they have made homophobic or transphobic comments – especially during the pledge drive. They are having their spring pledge drive right now, and [...]

I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative. This was not a surprise, but it isn’t as easy to get the negative results now as it was earlier on. I haven’t actually gotten my period yet either, so I suppose I could still turn out to be pregnant, but I don’t think [...]

Seattle had its first snow of the season yesterday and today. When I lived in Maine, we would get sick of the snow by the end of the winter. In Seattle, though, we usually only get snow once or twice a year, so it’s always a real treat. Someone forgot to tell the city that, [...]

***UPDATE FOR SEATTLE*** The Seattle protest is at Volunteer Park, *not* the Seattle City Council Offices. I have been told this directly by one of the organizers: there were originally two separate protests, but they have now merged into one. More info here (including a link to their facebook group.) You can also spread the [...]

Well, y’all, I could be preggers right this minute. (How’s that for an opening sentence, huh?)
The timing was *tricky* this time around. For the past few months, when I wasn’t trying, my cycle was pretty long. Last month it was 34 days. So this month, when I called to order my spermies, I figured having [...]

Today my friend A and I ventured north to buy ourselves some pumpkins. Getting my pumpkin from the pumpkin patch has become an annual tradition for me, though I wasn’t sure if I’d have time this year, since I’ve got so much studying to do. Happily, though, I was schoolwork free this weekend. We both [...]

For the past few years, I have been working with Push magazine, an all-volunteer run queer feminist magazine that is based here in Seattle. We put out one (sometimes two) issues a year, on topics such as class, sex and gender, and food. Each issue included essays, interviews, poetry, and artwork from queer [...]

A bit late, but here are some photos from Pride last weekend. I went to many of the events and loved it. Last year I skipped most of them because of my parents’ Conservative Cruise got into Seattle the same weekend. (Yes, you read that right. People from Fox News and [...]

Yesterday was Seattle’s annual Solstice Parade and fair (the fair itself continues today). This parade is one of my all-time favorite things about Seattle, especially because there are no advertisers allowed. It’s truly a parade by the people, for the people, and it shows some of the best of Seattle’s fun quirkiness.
I started the morning [...]
