One of my favorite political cartoonists, Stephanie McMillan, whose cartoons I read via a Comics.com email feed just published two strips about Bunnista vs. the Chainsaw factory that cracked me up.

I'm trying to catalog the zine, "I'm fat. You're fat. We're Fat! A collaborative zine project." It's a fat power zine, but sadly there's no subject heading for that. I looked in the Library of Congress catalog to see how they treated similar themed content and came up with OBESITY, which I'd say misses the point for I'm Fat, especially given the name of the conference for which the zine was created, Fat is Contagious: Political Fat Queer Visibility and Action in the Age of the "Obesity Epidemic."

I hate hate hate the winter and never feel like leaving the house. Then along comes May and all of a sudden there are a million things I want to do outside of the comfort of my own (or Eric's) home.

Day Two of the GLBT ALMS conference at the CUNY Grad Center.

Susan Stryker talked about how history can be

• a monument to ourselves
• nostalgia
• a tool for future work

She was most interested in the last interpretation, and discussed it mostly through the lens of the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco, which she directed for five years after being a regular researcher and volunteer there.
