Here’s a handy one-stop shop for holiday rage: Sociological Images’ Halloween archive. You can totally justify eating candy to calm down. Vice President Biden kinda-possibly-maybe declares trans* rights “the civil rights issue of our time,” is still dreamy. QUELLE SURPRISE! Mark Regnerus, author of that truly odious study condemning queer parents, has admitted that he sucks... »
This ad campaign makes me smile. So the two members of Pussy Riot who are still in jail are headed to prison camps. One of them is actually going to Siberia. Note that both of them have young children in Moscow. Wayne at Owldolatrous tells his conservative friend: “Don’t de-friend me, just don’t vote.” How can Michael Bloomberg be so awesome, and then turn around and suppor... »

Romneybot (2004 model) to a lesbian parent asking what she should tell her daughter about why her mothers couldn’t get married: “I don’t really ... »
IT’S FINALLY HERE: Glossed Over‘s liveblog of the September issue of Vogue. Well, I mean, it was live. Now you just get to read it. In case you didn’t hear about this, Bic decided that the thing ladies apparently need most is a pen created just for us, which (as per usual) mostly means “pink.” Jezebel rounded up the best from the commentariat. Here is a charming artic... »
So Anonymous hacked the website of the Russian court that sentenced Pussy Riot to two years in prison. I like this post from Gin and Tacos about the Akin debacle. “Better to be silent than sorry” is a pretty good maxim when you don’t know how to own up to your privilege. s.e. smith has a post about the mainstreaming of asexuality at CiF. The Washington Post reported a pretty sign... »
