My First Pride… Chicago Style

img_3670When I look back on my first Pride, I like to think of it as my queer graduation. There has never been a time where I felt completely fine in my own skin, but last weekend I did the entire time I was in Chicago.

July Horoscope

full_moon_smallSome fierce and exciting energy will be let loose this month, beginning with the Uranus retrograde station on July 1. Uranus rules our brilliance, inventiveness, extremity, higher mind, need for individuation. On the low end, it is destructive, irresponsible, chaotic, disconnected.

I was leaving town in a few days to spend several months in Santa Fe and that saddened me, particularly in the case of our friendship.
