October 11th is National Coming Out Day. Since learning about this over a year ago, I’ve had it in my mind to reach out to some of the most talented and interesting publically ‘out’ folks I know in Seattle. Below are the responses – from some of my favorite people in this city – to the question: What does National Coming Out Day/coming out, in general, mean to you?

“Why don’t you write a zine about it?†is a common dig zine writer’s will get from the punks, a subculture that seems to continually widen an embarrassed distance from it’s intellectual and socially conscious roots. You don’t have to embed yourself too deeply in to notice the majority of it becoming banal, collapsing under the weight of conformity, close-mindedness and nostalgia. For a scene so quick to label folks who aren’t punks as “normiesâ€, it strikes me funny so many punks are so hung-up on maintaining a narrow status quo of what punk rock is. I’m not sure how […]

As of right now, the Seattle Mariners are .5 game up over the Detroit Tigers for the second American League Wild Card spot. In other words, if the season ended this minute, the Mariners would be in the playoffs. With the addition of Robinson Cano and the stellar pitching from Felix Hernandez and the rest of the staff, the team has played above its head all season.Â

Caleb Thompson and I have talked for a couple of years now about the idea of having a confidant: a friend, someone you can tell your secrets to, your doubts, your worries, your mistakes, whatever those things are that you want to express but think you wouldn’t otherwise be able to. The kind of person who would be comfortable seeing you, intellectually-speaking at least, naked.Â

It’s ten p.m. on a Monday at my local supermarket, and I’ve come in all my armor: yoga pants and an oversized Dyke March t-shirt, flip-flops, ponytail, no makeup. I have in my possession a ten-dollar bill, pepper spray, a pocketknife, and keys, which I lace through my fingers to create an additional weapon. And just to be clear, this is not a so-called bad neighborhood or, say, the zombie apocalypse. I’m merely a woman gathering breakfast ingredients. I’ve parked in a well-lit spot closest to the exit and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings. In my interactions with others, I […]
