“No one can put up a tent by themselves or if you do, please let me know. Put a YouTube tutorial up.”

A quick look back at A-Camp X!

Kink is something that I can contextualize my life around, around eroticism generally, and that felt so at home in my brain. That I can have a container for a thing, that it is healthy to have a container for things.

Lena Waithe is using intimacy trainers, moms are still throwing gender reveal parties (but we don’t hate it), John Lewis and the fight for gay rights, and the Belchers have a song in their heart for you! Happy Sunday!

The transcendence of queer T4T sex, a thought experiment about public kink, the peak dating question of our time and more.

Many of these companies are small, queer and independently-owned themselves, which makes their donations to A-Camp even more amazing!

Animals, like people, have their own personalities and should be taken on a case-by-case basis. (AKA wherein Drew bravely says that snakes are maybe a bit sexy thanks to a certain pop star.)

“The world needs an all-queer band of string players called Homosexually Charged Violins now more than ever.”

Let’s make some noise for the bottoms in the house! (It’s me, the bottom in the house.)

It was a banner year for queer horror! Plus, fantasy, historical fiction, memoir, nonfiction, YA, middle grade, poetry picks — and so much more!

Transformative. Powerful. Restorative. Life-changing. These are some of the words A-Campers used to describe the Body Posi Plus Size Party we hosted with ModCloth and Mary Lambert at A-Camp X.

Happy Sunday! We’ve got cute gay weddings, a new-ish “Father of the Bride”, Amanda Nunes has a baby, Sarah Paulson has the greatest response for the next time someone asks you about your May/December relationship, nonbinary Helen Hayes Award winners and so much more!

The insurrection in DC on January and making sense of this chapter of the story of power in the US.

It’s not the size of the boat shoes, it’s the motion of the ocean!

Supposedly, folks who go together flow together. But does the science of period syncing hold up?

Gender-affirming surgery during the pandemic, queer Midwestern authors, Maya Moore’s quest for justice, writing on how mutual aid works and more!

At my Catholic all-girls middle school, I liked to tell people I was Buddhist. It was my feeble attempt at preteen rebellion. I enjoyed interjecting, “Oh yeah? Well, I don’t believe Jesus was real because I’m Buddhist!”

Planned Parenthood knows we deserve to feel good in our bodies, our communities and our lives — and one winner of this contest will get to do so at A-Camp thanks to PP!

In LA the night before A-Camp? Just live in LA and want to meet some fellow Straddlers?
