Tramps Like Us: A raw and unfiltered portrait of Queer life in America
Originally published in 2001 and quietly fading into the background, Tramps Like Us has been reissued — with an insightful introduction by Eileen Myles — and it demands to be read. This isn’t just a novel; it’s a fictionalized memoir, a raw, frank reflection of a bygone era in Queer history. Joe Westmoreland’s narrative follows a young Gay man named Joe, who escapes a difficult childhood in Missouri and spends nearly a decade wandering across the United States — to Miami, New York, New Orleans, and San Fran

Nolan’s Odyssey is a modern trek of ancient majesty
Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer, The Dark Knight) achieves something monumental and magnificent with his robust, stridently adrenalized adaptation of Homer’s eighth-century BCE epic poem The Odyssey. In this modern interpretation that still pays exhilarating homage to old-school sword-and-sandal classics like Jason and the Argonauts and Ben-Hur, the writer-director uses a mixture of gritty realism and unabashed melodramatic excess to bring his saga to life. The film’s three-hour running time vanishes in the

Dare to speak a word on the bus — it’s good for the culture! A critic of nativism and The Stranger’s “How to Seattle”
Spend any time in the Emerald City and you’ll be sure to find those eager to espouse a doctrine of what is or isn’t proper Seattleite behavior. As our once secluded, hilly town on an isthmus has become more and more metropolitan, people’s attempts to assimilate (or even ward off) transplants with a laundry list of norms and etiquette — or even stranger purity tests — have gone too far. Culture is not static. What starts off as a novel trend can end up becoming a deep-seated tradition later, but people every

Film historian and actress Illeana Douglas reveals the stories behind an all-female Hollywood classic
Among all the Hollywood biographies and histories I’ve read, this book truly stands out. I was genuinely impressed by the depth of research and the behind-the-scenes revelations I had never encountered. It’s a compelling and exciting read. Even the famous Bette Davis–Joan Crawford feud pales in comparison to the Norma Shearer–Joan Crawford rivalry that explodes off the pages. That rivalry is just one of the treasures buried inside Jungle Red! The Making of MGM’s The Women, the new book by actress, writer,

Mike lived by the philosophy of “tikkun olam,” a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world” through social justice and ethical behavior. Mike’s advocacy for social justice extended in many directions. He took a studied approach and worked to find merit in vi

Obituary: Lois Thetford, 1945–2026
Lois Thetford, 80, died on May 24, 2026, in Seattle, soon after a cancer diagnosis.

Dykes on Bikes celebrates 50 years: A tale of resilience, pride, and camaraderie
No Seattle Pride parade today would feel complete without the procession of a certain leathered-up armada and its unmistakable roar of engines. The tale of Dykes on Bikes — built out of a necessity for community among Lesbians and the Sapphically aligned that share a love for riding on two wheels — is as spontaneous and multifaceted as the history of Pride itself. Dykes on Bikes first came into being after the 1976 San Francisco Pride Parade. The story goes that a group of 20-25 women decided to ride thei

Open, Heaven is a Queer coming-of-age masterpiece
Seán Hewitt’s Open, Heaven, published by Knopf, delves into the overwhelming, irrational, and often confusing nature of a first crush. Readers may find themselves reflecting on their own early experiences — who that person was, how significant they felt at the time, and how little they understood. Hewitt masterfully captures what only the finest fiction can achieve: a nostalgic longing for the past. Set in a quiet village in northern England, the novel begins with James Legh returning there as an adult, rec
