Editor’s Notes: On Bi+ Week 2020

“I know we don’t ever get to stop thinking entirely about the annoying issues we have to keep re-litigating over and over, but I do want us to get to move the conversation forward. And I want us to be able to have it on our terms – not as a reaction, not as a defense or a justification, but a conversation amongst ourselves about ourselves that lets us connect with and affirm each other.”

The Dyke Kitchen: The Art Of Salad

I know salad is known to many people as a kind of ascetic diet food, but I grew up eating luxurious salads that my mom made.

What’s the Gayest Not-Gay Film Your Parents Rented You From Blockbuster?

“Foxy Brown quickly became my favorite film of the blaxploitation classica. Pam Grier — yes, that Pam Grier, Bette’s big sister (it’ll annoy me forever that that’s how generations of queer women remember Grier) — was just astounding in the titular role… badass and unrelentingly sexy. The other awesome thing about that movie? I think it was the first time I’d seen a lesbian bar on screen.”
