i'm thinking of volunteering with either the eastern massachusetts abortion fund or the abortion access project. who knows anything about either organization?

over the weekend i read all but the last 50 pages of suits me: the double life of billy tipton. it included wrong pronouns (on purpose), an inability to understand why one would live as a different gender beyond the fact that it was easier for men to make it big in the jazz music business 50 years ago, & an inexplicable fascination with how he had sex & why his girlfriends didn't "figure it out." fuck that. aren't you lucky i did the work for you, so you can now avoid this book at all costs.

current grad school list:
uc davis, cultural studies
nyu, american studies
univ michigan, history/women's studies
harvard, history of science
rutgers, history (with concentration in hist of medicine & hist of gender)

i wrote good things for my zine last night while listening to mirah's "advisory committee" on repeat. no idea when the zine will be finished. maybe within a month.

this winter i am all about soup. please send vegetarian soup recipes my way, pronto. i have already perfected my potato-leek soup. i like most all produce except fennel & cucumbers. i can veganize pretty much anything. help a kid out please.

the annual transgender day of remembrance is 20 november. info forthcoming on what's happening in boston.

i still have no halloween costume.

Goulash

Ingredients:
1 large onion, diced
3 medium potatoes, diced
2 cups diced rutabaga
1 roasted red bell pepper, finely minced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1.5 tsp caraway seeds
2 tbsp hungarian sweet paprika
2 quarts vegetable stock
2 tbsp corn starch, dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Saute the diced onion in the olive oil until translucent. Add the paprika, stir for 1 minute. Add garlic, saute for 2 minutes more. Add this mixture to the vegetable broth. Add the diced potatoes & rutabaga, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. After simmering for 25 minutes (NOT boiling), add the corn starch mixture to thicken.


(i substituted the rutabega for turnip & it was just as good.)


have you ever read stone butch blues by leslie feinberg?

thank you! i like most root vegetables so i'm happy to experiment with rutabegas, turnips, parsnips, etc.

and yeah, i've read stone butch blues quite a few times, actually. i think i like feinberg's nonfiction better these days though.
