So as my roommate and I flipped through the channels for anything quality to watch at the dinner hour, we had to make an important decision: Food Network with Paula Dean orrrrr… a CBS special on Nancy Lieberman. Well, as you can imagine we chose Nancy, because how often do you see a whole hour’s […]
Read More Totally Awesome Woman: Nancy LiebermanI’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile… but have never quite found the gut to write this in this space–where so many people come to love on the queers for all that they are. But today–perhaps because it’s the 2011 Day of Silence–I’ve decided to be ironic, and say it. I came across […]
Read More I have some bones to pick with the Gay Rights Movement.As many of you all may have read in my March 20th post on JMU CCM’s “Man” Retreat, it sparked quite a bit of discussion. There was even an article in the Breeze mentioning the post. True to my implications that I would be more than willing to follow up with some of the members […]
Read More JMU CCM: A conversationWell I was listening to this awesome 80s hit in my car on my eight hour drive from Ohio and came across these lyrics: Have to catch an early train Gotta be to work by nine And if I had an aeroplane I still wouldn’t make it on time ‘Cause it takes me so long […]
Read More Just Another Manic Monday…Let me be clear. I am so for anyone having any kind of spiritual connection with anything, and am so glad that people find things like hope, faith and solidarity in religious communities across the world.

Read More JMU Catholic Campus Ministry’s “Man” RetreatLast week in my queer lit class we watched a film released in 1961 called The Children’s Hour, featuring Audrey Hepburn, James Garner and Shirley MacLaine, all looking like this: Now, why am I talking about an old black-and-white film? Well, the premise of the film is that two teachers (Hepburn and MacLaine) start a […]
Read More Oh, Audrey Hepburn. You will always have my heart.Today I come to you with my favorite comic as a kid. I currently have twelve Calvin and Hobbes comic collections. What I love most about Calvin and Hobbes is that I laughed at it as a kid, and I’m still laughing at it now. Below is Calvin and Hobbes’ two-member club G.R.O.S.S., or Get […]
Read More My dad got a motorcycle, my mom got a… new refrigerator?As I sat today, watching a female friend play Call of Duty for the first time on her brand new XBox 360, she made a statement that made me think: “I’m just crappy at the moment, the other players don’t wanna play with me.” This got me thinking about women and the video gaming industry. […]
Read More Video games and feminism: are they mutually exclusive?Ah yes, the morning after the largest sporting event in the U.S., and I’m sipping coffee in recovery from a four pound food baby and a devastating loss. Devastating, not in the sense some big throws were shanked by the rusty Big Ben, nor the gorgeous 37 yard return on an interception resulting in a […]
Read More Superbowl XLV follows its predecessors: it sends the wrong messages.I begin with a story: I was sitting in class and our professor was discussing an author we had read for class that day. This author had mentioned that having children is generally something we see as something inherent that we all will do eventually, and that this should be thought about differently. One of […]
