Since Lip Service is on tonight, I am making a distinct effort to talk about anything that isn’t Lip Service. Have at you awful BBC programming! We have a ginger!

OHMYGODYOUGUYS I haven’t been this excited since I found out Lip Service was ending. Ivan E Coyote – you know, I wrote about her before – has her very own, brand new column. You know what this means, right? A regular fix of the kind of writing that makes me tangle my hair around my fingers and sigh (I KNOW I KNOW, how emodramatic is that? BUT IT’S TRUE). … Continue Reading
Who was your favourite Buffy character? I mean, there’s a lot to choose from, but for me there was never really a competition. I loved Faith. Hands down, unequivocally – she was smart, she was sarky, and she wasn’t half as lamely goody-two-shoes as Buffy was sometimes.
Plus – and let’s be frank about how important this point is – she was totally hot. We can’t give that one all to Faith though, because Eliza Dushku managed to transfer that hotness to basically every role she’s ever played. … Continue Reading
Here’s a fact: I like stories. I love stories. We’ve all had bedtime stories read to us as children, and as I’ve gotten older, it’s become, understandably, less vital that someone read me a bedtime story. But if I do need that little pick me up, Werner Herzog’s got the goods. … Continue Reading
It’s rare to find written work that is as quietly beautiful as Ivan E Coyote’s. This queer writer and spoken word performer manages to encapsulate, in her short stories and accounts, a picture of what it is like to be gay, to have a queer identity, and to deal with the smaller things, the everyday and the mundane, so to speak. The events she relays are not monumental, and this, I think, is a good thing – too often, queer literature focuses on the larger events: coming out, for example. … Continue Reading
I can’t help it. I fucking love this woman. I could reel off a list of reasons – she’s the first woman in 8 years to take #1 on the Billboard Rap chart, she’s got a big mouth and will use it to call you out, she’s half-Indian (I’ll take it where I can get it), she’s a fucking great rapper, she looks amazing with green hair… the list goes on. … Continue Reading
The time I’ve spent back at home has been an invaluable opportunity to examine the artifacts that remain from my teenage years. Much of which consists pretty solidly of – wait for it – books. You can see why I wasn’t very popular in high school. … Continue Reading
It can only be described as a travesty that the release of Hesta Prynn‘s new video went unmentioned on our part. No fear – this aims to right that wrong. Because Hesta Prynn is amazing, and if you haven’t heard of her yet – well then, where the hell have you been? … Continue Reading

Since first appearing on our telly screens in the halcyon days on the late 90s, Buffy has captured the hearts of a million queer girls worldwide. Whether it’s the kick-ass moves, the witty dialogue or the damn sexiness of the show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer finds its fans in all walks of life, … Continue Reading
It’s really rare that you find interesting, well-rounded Black characters in TV and film. It’s even rarer that you find interesting, well-rounded Black women in TV or film. And usually, when you do, the film or TV show gets labeled a “black movie” – whatever the hell that means. So when I heard about this film on Feministing the other day, I was thrilled. Not one, not two, but eight principal characters who are black women. … Continue Reading
