Hello, soda pop bottle rockets! Did you know a duel between three people is called a truel? Did you know that? I just thought you should know.

I’ve been listening to the Rockabyebaby Hamilton album a lot lately with Remi. Also, I have tickets to see Hamilton with Waffle and a friend in May because my friend is awesome and scored them for us in a pre-sale! It’ll hopefully take the edge off the sad reality that I’m missing A-Camp again.

Anyway: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… here’s your link roundup!

It’s fine. This is fine. I’m fine.

Legal Gender Marker Changes Just Got Easier in Brazil!


Last week, the Brazil Supreme Court ruled that trans people who want to change their name and gender marker on government-issued identification documents can no longer be required to show proof of or undergo medical procedures and without judicial review.

Brazil joins several other countries that have improved their national policies on recognizing legal gender to be based on a person’s agency instead of medical or judicial gatekeepers.

  2. I didn’t know that Natalie Morales was queer. I now need her to be Petra’s next girlfriend (If Jane isn’t going to step into that role) when JR inevitably leaves.

  3. I remember Earring Magic Ken but I didn’t know the history behind it – thanks for the link.

  4. I’ve seen that earing magic Ken story 2 times in the past week and still think is a great story!

  5. Ah yes Cockring Ken and the best part was his lavender outfit, poor widdle Mattel was menaced by all those connections. I can’t help but wonder if somewhere in line of approval and creation of that doll there was someone who was fam that saw it and completely understood all the connotations but didn’t say a word just prepared to buy a pallet full. xD
