Qmmunity: Soothslaying This Fall • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the past few days, I’ve found myself a little taken with internet soothsayers. I’m not talking about the dark Polymarket warlocks or Kalshi demons but rather those front-facing video fortune tellers who always know which phase the moon’s in. Last weekend was a big one: a full harvest moon! According to some woman whose Instagram Reel I watched half of, the period between Friday and Saturday was super powerful – possibly world-changing. How did I, personally, use this incredible period? Reader
Qmmunity: Cool Dreams, Hot Events • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know that old chestnut about how you never truly appreciate something until it’s gone? That’s how I feel about having an A/C that works. Honestly, by the time you read this, Reader, I’ll probably be in a chilly apartment again. But my current state? I’m a little sweaty, yes. Could stand to be less sweaty, if I’m being honest. In other, better news, the application period for Lawrie Bird’s third round of drag competition Love & War has been extended! Those hoping to score the title of ultimat
Qmmunity: Not So Fairest In the Land • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, Senate candidate James Talarico said on Fox News he opposed trans athletes playing in girls’ sports “if it risks safety or fairness.” This phrasing is, of course, completely asinine; being that sports are based entirely around physical advantages and disadvantages, how do trans bodies “risk fairness” any more than particularly tall or strong cis people? There’s no proof of young trans athletes trouncing their opposing players en masse, either, and even cases like conservative loudmout
Qmmunity: Four Hours of Sleep • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I simply can’t talk much right now, Reader. Because you must be apoplectic over a less than rambling column from your excessively familiar columnist, I’ll tell you the truth. Last night I stayed up until 5am reading a book. Yes! I’m aware this behavior is very James circa 2005 when first your loyal queer event/news scribe dug into the Artemis Fowl series. However, a really good book really doesn’t care whether you’re 12 or 32; the words demand to be read way past the reasonable man’s bedtime. So
Qmmunity: My Innermost Thoughts • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t often talk about my innermost thoughts and feelings in this column. That’s not because they’re too hot for the reading public to handle – although just wait until you hear how I feel about olives! I’m anti! – but more along the lines that my thoughts are rarely cut-and-dry gay stuff. It’s all tangential. Like, see, right now I’m thinking about how good Kenny Omega was at All In this past Sunday, which if you know anything about wrestling you’ll realize is a certified Bisexual Thought Pat
