Hi folks,

Just thought I'd drop a line that we are still looking for the perfect third roomie to complete our happy house!

Details HERE

Hi Folks,

We're still looking!  If you know of someone please do let me know, many thanks!

*****please spread the word far and wide******

Dear beautiful community of ours,

change is...constant. we're looking for a third roommate, we'd like to fill her spot quickly. if you know of anyone who is looking for a place, please let me know. The info is below, and thank you so much for passing on! xoxo, Casa De Queer

ROOM FOR RENT: $388/month queer-friendly, trans friendly & People of color-friendly only please. The room is available immediately, ideally we're looking for someone to move in before November 1 who is willing to sign a 1 year lease.

Five bedroom, two story house in SE Decatur (off Candler by South Dekalb Mall).

Upstairs: One and a half bath, hardwood floors, big kitchen, dining room, and living room, two bedrooms and the computer room. Downstairs: all tile, TV room with kitchenette, master bathroom/bedroom, washer & dryer, huge fenced in backyard. Outside we have plenty of driveway and street parking, covered porch with comfy chairs for enjoying outside, and a beautiful shady green lawn. The room available is an upstairs bedroom.  Rent is $388, not including 1/3rd of utilities (gas, electric, wireless and water.) Deposit is $388. We have two wonderful cats, and three tiny adorably little dogs, so anyone with allergies may not be a good fit.  Our house is also NOT MARTA friendly, we live on lots of major bus lines, but as you know it can take a while to get anywhere on a MARTA bus.

We need a special person for this place. You would be living with two grown and sexy people, in our early 30’s. We are a queer, mixed-race household. We are fairly clean, one of us if vegetarian and the other is a meat eater, outside smokers ok, and we love to cook and laugh and enjoy ourselves. One of us works in the non-profit sector the other is an professional chef.  We're looking for someone who is queer or a queer ally, who is trans or a trans ally, who is a person of color or an anti-racist white person.

Hi Folks! It's that time of year again! I've just completed my first year as a board member for COLAGE. This year I'm just asking 19 friends for $19 each in honor of COLAGE's 19th anniversary! This organization means SO MUCH to me as a person with LGBT parents. I know, I know I'm super blessed to have 5 parents, 3 of them being lesbian moms. COLAGE is making connections nationwide with youth and adults with LGBTQ parents. Our work is live-changing and revolutionary. Recently we: • Held a week-long camp for youth of LGBT parents in Provincetown, MA • Are bringing the first ever activist Speak Out Camp to Atlanta, GA • Did state-wide community education around Prop 8 in California Won't you please make a $19 donation in honor of my work with COLAGE today?

Hi Folks,

Asha Leong and Umayr Hassan had the opportunity to attend the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Conference in Seattle, WA this past August.  We found it an amazing time of learning, networking, and community building.  We think its important to share what we learned with our local Trikone and APLBTN community. Please join us Wed Oct 7th, 7pm at Noodle for dinner and discussion about  the conference and bringing some of the lessons learned to the ATL.

Highlights included:
-national immigration campaign
-sexual liberation workshop
-amazing plenary speakers including local Mia Mingus!

We would love to see the energy from this conference come to Atlanta and inspire more LGBTQ Asian organizing!

Please let us know you are coming by emailing femmetron@gmail.com.

Thanks ya'll!

Asha and Umayr

About organizational heartbreak, relationship love and the power of vulnerability.. An apt article for me today.

http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/09/15/lovers-in-a-dangerous-time/

http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2005/12/02/how-not-to-be-insane-when-accused-of-racism/

This article would have been useful when I called that guy a racist last week.  I HATE having to call people out but what he did was just RIDIC.  And frankly I'm NOT GOOD at having these convos with white folks who are just beginning on an anti-racist path.  But articles like this are GREAT!  Thank god I was surrounded by allies and went for bat for myself but didn't really need to b/c my allies had it covered. 

Racism is a fact of life AND we all need ways of talking about it better.  That's what I think this article does...

Although for the record I'd like to have bottles popped all night, but only if they were baby champagne bottles.  Also I have ALWAYS wanted to be given a car with a big red bow on it.  ALWAYS.

Last night I got my sweaty paws on the Al Schlong T-shirts!  THANK YOU toimpgrrl  who provided the initial image, Sorcha for input, Lady Jane for design/production and my bank account for allowing itself to be CLEANED OUT!

They are so hot and sexy and sparkle like Edward in some sunlight!  There are only 30 of these custom made babies in THE WHOLE WORLD!  I'm using them to raise money to support myself while on tour.  So if you want one here are the details:  $15-25 sliding scale (if I have to ship add $5) send the funds via Paypal to alschlong@gmail.com.

Just wait til ya'll see the patches!  I'm totally re-learning how to screenprint this weekend!
