A little horny, a little sassy, a lot profound. These wonderful essays have a lot of queertastic goodness so go ahead and read (or re-read) to remember how we manage to put ourselves together despite all the hurdles that life puts in our way.

Of course good things happened in 2024 @newrepublic.com. It's this myopia (and collective forgetting) that keeps getting us to these bad spots. Don't forget. But do celebrate!

What if a Cybertruck was in love with a classic 1968 Beetle?
"He gets it. In his day, he was smeared because the Nazis designed him to be the 'car of the people.' But look at him now: so adorable and beloved by everyone — no matter their politics."

I love this essay for lots of reasons but also glad to have a Millennial explain this to me: "Since my generation is defined by “situationships”—relationships that have no clear definitions or labels—my friends could understand the fluidity, but they couldn't understand my level of feelings."
The latest #queerloveproject essay packs a lot in: including lots of cute young gay guys dating. But seriously, Aidan is wise beyond his years realizing that heartbreak is essential to growth. Read and learn!
Dating a Throuple Is Like a Martini Glass…
What an unconventional love taught me about heartbreak.

there are some total hunks in the cast of the Swept Away musical now on Broadway. With songs by the Avett Brothers, I expected Americana realness, but did I know I was settling in for a Christian cannibalism parable? no, no I did not.

Had a fantastic chat with Tom Pyun about this debut novel. As he told me: "Part of this book is processing my grief over dating in SF. I've lived a lot of places, and it's the worst of any place I've ever lived."
Tom Pyun on Dating White Men, Navigating Privilege, and Following His Passion
The debut author's book, 'Something Close to Nothing,' focuses on a gay male couple whose relationship is at a crossroads.

Some people are offloading Teslas, but others are driving Cybertrucks as a dog whistle to signal their allegiance to the core brand of American fascism. Do you need this tank to roll over defenseless humans or are you just prepping for the apocalypse?
