Volume 1, No. 32: Queer City life on Three Continents + Mini Chocolate Rye Cakes

Greetings, friends! The temperature finally dropped around here and I am in full-on fall appreciation mode: sweaters, slippers, soup, and plenty of “these leaves are too beautiful to exist!” exclamations. I’ve written before (here and elsewhere) about how much I hate the way queer life is often associated with urban life in books, TV, and film. Queers live everywhere, some of us do not like cities, and not every queer person flees their small rural hometown! However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t also appreciate books about queers in cities. I hate the stereotype that queer people can only be happy in urban areas, but I recognize that rural life holds real challenges for queer people, and cities can be lifesaving.
