Watching the now canceled Bomb Girls reminded me of watching The L Word, a show which is usually hailed as the best television has to offer in terms of queer women characters. Towards the end, The L Word writers got self-righteous about how much the show was improving the life of that mythical Midwestern girl [...]
March! It’s March! March is, without question, my favorite month out of the year, and I revel in each and every glorious moment.
For starters, March is my birthday month, which, in case you didn’t know, basically means I get my way for an entire thirty-one days. Second, I’m a little bit (a lotta bit) [...]

This past Monday, I had the pleasure of joining a sold out crowd at the University of New Mexico to celebrate forty (!) years of the campus’s Women’s Resource Center. You heard me: SOLD OUT. This is no small feat in New Mexico, considering we’re a state known for our
If you interact with me regularly, you know I listen to podcasts. Lots of podcasts. Six or seven hours a day, five days a week (I have a tedious, solitary job. With health insurance). Recently, a friend recommended Gendercast: Our Transmasculine Genderqueery, which went something like: “Hey, I found this podcast [...]
The blog is turning one! What does one get a blog on its first anniversary? I think I’ll break open a bottle of birthday cake vodka myself.
After fledging since OK4RJ began in 2009, we relaunched the blog something fierce last October. OK4RJ has a bit of a
