What I remember about the aftermath of 9/11 is how disappointed I was when my friends and loved ones suddenly started being openly racist and incredibly jingoistic.

I have an apartment in Detroit! Paying slightly more than I hoped, but a townhouse with three bedrooms and a private basement. Now to make myself anxious with the logistics of the move!

I want to write Gilgamesh fanfic where he is working at a struggling arts non-profit and Enkidu manages a relatively successful antique mall. They have an obnoxious corgi named Humbaba and Ninsun is basically Endora with cow horns.

Golden age ad. Title: “MEN HATE ‘SISSY-SWEET’ SALADS!“. Man & woman sit at table at dinner. She is holding the finger to her chin & stares dumbly forward as he admonishes her. 
“Heavens, Mary! Do you call this a salad? Why it’s more like a dessert – – it’s sweet!”
Panel 2-a woman faces Mary & says, “Didn’t you know? You can’t make a real he-man salad with gelatine dessert powders. They’re 85% sugar. I’ll give you a grand KNOX gelatine recipe.”
Panel 3, the man faces Mary. His smile is beaming & she is just emanating radiance as she looks back at him: “Good girl, Mary. This is a REAL salad. No ‘sissy-sweet’ affair. It’s got ZIP!“
Caption: “Men want a salad that’s fresh and tart-not sweet. So, don’t use gelatine dessert powders. They’re 85% sugar. Use pure, unsweetened KNOX GELATINE. It’s ALL gelatine, no sugar. Has no ready packaged flavor to compete with real home ingredients. Be sure to use KNOX for desserts that contain milk, cream, eggs, or such flavors as vanilla and chocolate.“

My fixating on "Danceteria" for the last month has revealed a hard truth to me: I like Madonna. Like, if you asked me who my pop diva is, I would want to say Kylie, but it would secretly be Madge.

I told my boss I'm leaving, but I haven't told my staff because I haven't gotten the official offer letter yet. I feel like I'm lying to them, like I'm about to disappear and they are all blissfully unaware. But it's also only been two business days.

My library has a procedure that any internal candidates for an open position are notified by the hiring manager in person if they aren't chosen. Theoretically I believe this is a good thing, very respectful, but now that I have to notify four internals they didn't get it, I hate it.

My friend the Michigan Strangler has died. A lot of people only know the Michigan Strangler from all that strangling he did and I understand that, but that is not the full picture of the friend he was to me when he wasn't strangling people. We used to go to Arby's. Rest in peace, "Chokey Boy."

The latest episode of Smartypants had a touching tribute to Lindsey Graham from none other than Vivian Wilson. Nuanced and topical!

So a week or two ago, I had a patron, a beardy social worker who uses the library often, call the branch to compliment me on how friendly and welcoming I am. Today he emailed to say he was bummed that I haven't been here the last two times I've been here, with his phone number. Is this flirtation?

I made the mistake of donating to a political campaign, and my text messages since then have just been vultures circling. This will NEVER happen again. Democrats can eat my shit. I take full responsibility for being an idiot, but fool me once, etc.

The older I get, the less connection I feel to gayness as an identity. I feel more of a kinship with the enby ace person with blue hair and a polycule than a married gay guy with a husband and a mortgage. I'm queer in multiple ways, and I want that complexity reflected in how I identify.

In fairness to Derrick Barry, it is a bit surprising that no one died at Stonewall. If it happened now, the cops would be running over folks in tanks and shooting rubber bullets at people's faces.

I'm generally afraid of heights, but one of my strongest triggers is multi-story escalators. After we're about halfway up, I start leaning forward and white knuckling the rail, sweating, imagining myself falling backwards and not stopping.
