ABOUT NOT DARK YET: “Fascinating, surreal, gorgeously written, and like nothing you’ve ever read before, Not Dark Yet is the book we all need to read right now. It is art about science, climate change, and activism, and it vitally explores how we as people deal with a world that is transforming in terrifying ways.”  —BuzzFeed

If you’d like to read the book I’d like to encourage you to consider purchasing it from one of Boston’s independent booksellers.

Today HuffingtonPost’s gay news site officially changed their name to Queer Voices four and a half years after they launched HuffPost Gay Voices.  According to the article explaining the name change, back in 2011 there was a feeling the word “queer” was too divisive so it was eschewed.  However, the inclusive nature of the word “queer” and the fact that times and perceptions have changed tipped the scales in favor of incorporating it in their name.

In the article explaining the name change, the editors say they hope the inclusion of the word queer will help change remaining derogatory perceptions and be more inclusive in both name and content. You can read the full article here.

What can I say? Work has me busier than a one legged man in an a$$ kicking competition.  I’m traveling right now and behind in my posts so I’ve opted for this, which I initially had designated for a future Furry Friday. Enjoy.

Last week Logo announced that RuPaul will host Gay For Play Game Show, described as a star-studded trivia game show that will premiere alongside the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Details about the show aren’t currently available, but I know I’ll be putting it on my DVR, and I’m betting a few of you may be inclined to do the same.
