My first-ever zine, Taking the Cake: An Illustrated Primer on Asexuality is now available in printable pdf format!

It also doubles as a coloring book, if you’re into that.

Directions: Print double-sided, stack the pages so that the cover is on the bottom and the LGBTQ rainbow page is facing up, fold the whole thing in half, and staple it! More detailed instructions here.

Also I’m a n00b and submitted the zine to zinelibrary under anonymous before making an account so it doesn’t have my name attached to the webpage. Oh well!

EDIT: Now available for purchase on my Etsy, if you prefer I put it together for you and mail it to you!

Totes printing off a bunch of these for Pride this weekend. 
Oh man. I’m excited.

From CNN columnist LZ Granderson’s point of view, lots of media and political talks try to pin gay and black communities against each other. Recently, it was revealed that NOM was intentionally trying to drive a wedge between the two groups to benefit their anti-gay cause.

For LZ, you can’t separate the categories of “black” and “gay.” As an openly gay black man - and a Christian one at that - LZ talks about how these two aspects of his identity can’t possibly be at war with one another. Some compelling moments:

And despite the efforts of black religious conservatives to ignore that intersection, the truth is that intersection is a major part of black culture. It’s in our literature (James Baldwin), our films (Lee Daniels), in politics, baseball fields (Glenn Burke), the Black Panthers (Angela Davis) and the civil rights movement (Bayard Rustin).

That intersection exists in our hair salons, barbershops and, yes, even our churches.

Before becoming a journalist, I worked in youth ministry in two churches in my early 20s. I lived with one of my pastors and his family and would study the Bible for hours on end under his tutelage. I fasted and tithed. I poured my heart out to the kids in the congregation. On occasion I even would fall asleep on the steps of the altar worshipping my God.

I am black. I am gay. And yes, I am a Christian.

Before you read this, be warned that the comments section gets pretty hostile from all sides. But don’t let that deter you; LZ is a great writer and a great person, and his opinions need to be heard. This topic is becoming more important by the day - give this a read for a solid perspective on the debate.

White American males constitute only 33% of the population. Yet, they occupy approximately:

• 80% of tenured positions in higher education
• 80% of the House of Representatives
• 80-85% of the U.S. Senate
• 92%of Forbes 400 executive CEO-level positions
• 90% of athletic team owners
• 97.7% of U.S. presidents

And then they flip out when they’re not allowed in the Women’s Tent. 

It’s probably naive of me to hope that one day it will all balance out to actual, real, equality. And then we can worry about individual harms - instead of classes of privilege. But obvs. That’s a long ways away. 

Along with world peace. Sustainable energy. Fuck, I’m a naive little child about some things.

”Solar Equation” by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

This large installation entitled Solar Equation is a simulation of the Sun, 100 million times smaller than the real thing! The sphere, commissioned by the Light in Winter Festival in Australia, is the largest spherical balloon in the world.

Using mathematical equations, Lozano-Hemmer developed a pattern of animations that are projected onto the sphere, and that never repeat. Through this simulation, the artist provides the public with a glimpse of the Sun’s unpredictable and intense atmosphere. The public can interact with the installation and affect these animations via an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad application, creating various visual experiences. It’s hard to imagine seeing such a large, burning star so gigantic and up-close.
