    Launching A Queer New York Website

    by

    After years of drafting maps and data visualizations, I am finally launching the A Queer New York website. My aim is to represent the breadth of lesbian-queer life. Therefore, while I include the locations and stories of lesbian bars and feminist bookstores, I also map a wide range of places that speaks to the complexity and depth of everyday lesbian-queer experiences.

    Click here to see the full in-progress A Queer New York map.

    I explain more about the process of making the map on the AQNY site. I’m launching this map now because I believe it’s important to show the wide-range of lesbian and queer places in New York City that were mentioned, advertised, or listed in New York City and national lesbian publications from 1983 to 2008.

    Løvetannen i bakgården

    by
    Hun med de mørke trekkene, hun drar på smilebåndet. Tar smilet videre til øynene. En verden uten skarpe kanter, kanter som stakk henne i lungene og i hjertet og på tungen. Nå får vinden seile fritt med lette frø fra løvetannen i bakgården, og gjennom solstrålene får duskregnet drysse glitter på paraplyen. Hun med de…

    The Practice of Cartooning

    by
    Bill, a DS106 friend, shared out that he is reading Ivan Brunetti’s Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice — which Brunetti describes as a sort of cartooning class in a book — and so a few of us — Sarah, Ron, etc. — are also getting the book.
