By dint of life, my blog has become the place where, once a year, I publish my feelings and thoughts about Matthew Shepard and his murder in Laramie, Wyoming, back in 1998. The thing is, of course, that I’ve captured feelings on my blog for over 20 years – and while I can rearrange the […] So, this is the second 25 years later post I’ve written. The first was a 500 word vomit produced in about 20 minutes. Disjointed. Disorganized. The fact is, I am in Laramie, Wyoming, this week – I arrived Sunday evening and have been attending Matthew Shepard related events ever since. Sunday night was “Laramie […] Wow. Today marks 24 years since Matthew Shepard died. It remains difficult to write my thoughts about him every year, some of this is because I feel like I am being a bit repetitious, some of it is because I never quite know how to address my feelings about him every year. It’s not easy […] About 11 years ago, I promised to donate money to the University of Wyoming Rainbow Resource Center every year. I’ve kept my promise – some how donating enough to become worthy of individual attention from the UW Foundation. I don’t personally think that I’ve donated enough to qualify for this kind of attention, but be […] Matthew Shepard died 23 years ago today. Another year has ticked by. Another moment to pause and reflect on Matthew Shepard. One remarkable thing about Matthew Shepard is that he continues to be present in society – I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I noticed that Indiana University Credit Union (my primary […] Since I have not been travelling or planning travel, I’ve had some serious extra energy to devote to strange things. Awhile back I discovered two romance novels: Him and Us – both are by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. Both are excellent and fun novels to read with well thought out plots and excellent […] Fuck. Twenty-two years. Time is so fleeting – how the hell have 22 years passed? I write this from my new home, still in Berlin, but some 7 kilometers from my old home. One of the things about moving is that you must sort through all your belongings, even though you’ve forgotten that you own. […] This book, by Steve Gunderson and Rob Morris (with Bruce Bawer), was one of the few non-academic books that I kept in my dorm room at the University of Wyoming, the last year that I was a graduate student. It was published in September 1996 – so just after I had graduated with my […] On June 12, 2020, the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was the site of horrific mass shooting: 49 dead, 53 wounded. While I’ve already mentioned attending a memorial at Brandenburg Tor (Whatchamacallit 89: #BerlinForOrlando #LoveIsLove), this comic book is another reminder of that tragic day. It was also a fundraiser, will all proceeds going to […] I bought this Gay Tarot deck in June 2017 for 21.49€. I no longer remember the context, but I do recall that I had been watching an interview of some kind and the guest had brought Gay Tarot cards with him as an example of a ridiculous product. At least that’s how I remember […] |
