Happy birthday to my most favorite girl! She’s my complete opposite and I’d be completely lost without her. Favorite, I love you beyond words. Someday, you will find someone, who won’t sigh at words like commitment, and whose jaw won’t clench, when you ask them to stay. Someday, you will spit out the word ‘love’ so often, that it will follow water down the drain and into the earth, and you’ll see your work shining on the pavement. Someday, you will be able to make your rent, and still have a few bucks left over to waste on this month’s boyfriend; waste it on yourself. Someday, you will believe in something so deeply, that it alone will be enough to make your feet touch the hardwood floor every morning. Someday, you’ll laugh at all the moments, which at the time, made you feel as if there was nothing to live for, the moments where tomorrow’s chances of occurring, seemed slim to none. Someday, the thoughts that lied in between your hair and the pillow sheets will finally reach your reality.

They also reflect on the testimony of LGBT teens about the impact of terms like “that’s so gay.” Students will reflect on the oral history of an individual involved in the LGBT rights movement.

The Last Triangle · Hair and Blood
So I’ve been thinking about periods – and no, not the punctuation kind. That’s because I spent some time on the weekend thumbing my way through an interesting little book on menstruation. Called ‘Capitalizing on the Curse: The Business of Menstruation’, the book explores the impact that capitalist forces have had on our monthly periods. I know, I know – I can hear you now: “this is a blog about pubic hair — why the period talk?” Here’s why: because reading Kissling’s book about periods actually made me think a lot about women and their relationships to their own body hair. Kissling’s interesting premise is that though it’s a regular phenomenon for half the world’s population, periods are typically seen as icky and gross — a troublesome interruption in the month that must be dealt with (ideally) in secret (god forbid your males friends should catch a glimpse of a tampon in your purse!). It helps explain why women feel such shame and disgust at the idea of their own periods.
Érase una vez una princesa enamorada de una valiente chica extranjera
Una niña que encuentra un lápiz mágico que vuelve realidad lo que dibuja y una princesa cuyo padre quiere casarla con alguien que no es su amor verdadero protagonizan los primeros cuentos de la recién estrenada editorial Nube Ocho. ¿Qué tienen de especial? Que la niña tiene dos papás, y que la princesa no está enamorada de un apuesto joven, sino de una valiente chica extranjera. “Son los libros que nuestra generación no pudo leer”, dice Luis Amavisca, creador de esta pequeña firma, que acaba de lanzar ‘El lapicero mágico’ y ‘La princesa Li’ junto con Egales, una editorial con 20 años de experiencia en temas relacionados con la homosexualidad. Son los libros que nuestra generación no pudo leer" Amavisca, artista plástico devenido en editor y escritor, insiste en que sus cuentos no están orientados solo al colectivo LGBT (lesbianas, gais, bisexuales y transexuales), “sino también, y con más razón, a los heterosexuales”. Las tiradas son pequeñas, y tienen en Internet su gran aliado.
