I've been on a machiavelli binge, and I'm finishing a re-read of Hanna Pitkin's _Fortune is a Woman_. Such good stuff for our moment.

If you live in western Mass, the Hudson Valley, or Chicago, please consider coming out to hear me talk about Rachel Carson and the Power of Queer Love in May and June. I'm going to be at some cool bookstores, and would love to see some of you!

A small interlude of relics of past queer joy: a 1997 Lilith fair ticket stub (almost too faded to read) and pride rings, also faded, that hung on my backpack in college.
