A few days ago I posted a link to Top 100 Hot Butches. Since that link went up the list has been changed, due to significant communication its creator, Sinclair Sexsmith, received as regards his inclusion of transmen in the list in a way that could very much be perceived has his not truly acknowledging their gender and self-identification.

As bifemmefatale notes, this is how you fail gracefully on the Internet.

So take a look. It's instructive: both on how we can respond when confronted with the biases existant in our own actions, and on the very complicated landscape that gender is. This is the 201-level course, kids.

Argh, plants! So many issues, a constant narrative. Birds must stop attacking tiny peppers. Luckily, the big first pepper continues to do well.

I still have those Metropolis tickets for Saturday night in NYC -- $30 for the pair!

I've been really frigging sick for the last few days. It's been really annoying.

You've seen it before, but hey -- Queer Eye Candy.

Busting ass at work. Looking to July, which is going to be my month of writing essays for publication/submission, as I've a long list of good potentials and specific requests that have been sent to me.

My wacky world journalism adventures continue, now reading lots of English language newspapers from India. And I adore them.

May I express my deep love for Varsano's yet again? The owner has agreed to make gluten-free chocolate-covered pretzels for me. I drop off the pretzels, pick up the results 45 minutes later. He's even considering offering it as a product in-store if it goes well and he can find a good source for the pretzels other than at the terrible retail prices.

1. I *thought* there was something a little "buh"? about some of the people depicted in the top ten. Kudos to the creator for failing gracefully.

3. ack, tempting, but I'd have to buy just the one of those tickets, which wouldn't be fair.

4. *hugs* that's not nice.

5. still, nice to see some good feedback on the photo: it's well-deserved.

6. awk, good luck with it all.

7. I've heard that English as spoken by Indian journalists is amazing - containing many phrases that have fallen out of use in British English and rather sadly so.

8. ...that is awesome. And yes, still-more awesome if the owner can make a regular go of it, since I can imagine there aren't many places that would sell something like that.

The list change was very appropriate. Wow. Dialogue!

Every time I see her I want to print out her picture and take it to my hairstylist's. (Technically I could cut my hair like that myself with fiskars, right? But that might scare random children). And I am finally halfway to Xena hair.

Hope you feel better soon!

Oh, you, too? I've been just feeling lousy enough to be sick. Stomach is bothering me today. And the heat of the next few days is not going to be a help either.

How did I miss that Top 100 before? Especially since Amy Ray PLUS HER ENTIRE BAND are included?

Sweet.

Indian newspapers are one of my favorite parts of traveling in India. The turns of phrase are fun to read. I also enjoy reading the matchmaking ads.

If he starts to sell the pretzels, let us know... I'll buy some for my brother in support. :)

What time is the Metropolis screening? If the scheduling works, I’d be happy to take those tix off your hands.

In case you didn’t get my other message — deal! Let’s figure out when and where to swap cash for tix.

Today is really, really screwy for me, but I can meet you around Union Square or Chelsea pretty much any time tomorrow.

Noon by the equestrian statue in Union Sq?

Sounds good.

Note on your Queer Eye Candy link: the fact that Patty keeps a pickaxe under the kitchen sink made me so happy I can't express it. It made me giggle like a little girl:-)

My mother wants to know if the Star of India is still publishing.(I'd guess no.)
