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.

best vegan soup ever:

2 lbs. peeled butternut squash
4 to 5 cups stock (veggie stock if it's to be vegan soup, obviously)
salt and pepper

bring stock to a boil. add squash, cover and simmer. cook until squash is tender, about 30 minutes. cool, if you have time. put mixture in blender and puree until smooth. reheat, season, and serve.

ps. if you go to rutgers, we will be neighbors!!
