Buy Faith's book! It's the mid 1990s, and a high school guy in Georgia is grappling with his queerness, his faith, his friends, and his future in Disgusta by Faith DaBrooke.

 

Faith has been playing Civilization for years and Civ 6 is the newest one.

A recent article about trans representation in video games-- including 3 games that get it right.

 

The super-easy, super-tasty popcorn recipe Faith likes.  And that website has a TON of great vegetarian recipes.  We're not even vegetarian and we like Cookie & Kate's recipes!
