January Update: Hopeful New Year! (Patreon)

Hello friends! 

Well well well, looks like 2020 is actually happening. TBQH I wasn't sure we were actually going to go ahead with this whole "new year" thing, but it looks like we're committed to it so let's see what happens!

Here's what you can look forward to getting from me this month:

• Livestreams! Come say hello, share your recommendations for stuff to watch, and make friends in the chat! I love getting your entertainment suggestions & can't wait to talk about all of the queer entertainment that’s lighting up your life. Our next livestream is on Saturday January 25 at 10am Pacific. Click the bell here to get a reminder when we go live. 
• The Sewers of Paris! Each week on the podcast, a guest plucks a piece of entertainment from their past -- books, movies, music, shows, and more -- and answers the question: how did it change your life? Recent highlights include Wicked author Gregory Maguire, an appreciation of the amazing dancer/French resistance agent Josephine Baker, and a fascinating story of starting life over from personal trainer Gus Lanza, partner of Drag Race star BenDeLaCreme.
• Culture Cruise! All backers get early ad-free access to Culture Cruise videos, taking a deep dive on queer content in the entertainment we love. In November, I posted a video about how the show Frasier gave us lots of queer episodes of TV throughout the gay '90s, and in December I'm posted one about the show's ultimate gay guest star, Patrick Stewart.
• Cozy Pants! A podcast for Patreon backers at $4/month and up! Join me and my partner James for a fun affectionate chat about the cultural comforts that are lighting up our lives. 
• Weekly Debrief! Get caught up on the latest LGBTQ news, how it affects you, and actions you can take! Weekly Debrief is your quick roundup of everything you need to know about what's happening with queer people in the world, and how you can help.

And if you're in Seattle, I hope you'll join me at OrcaCon this month! I'll be hanging out, going to panels, and playing games at the pacific northwest's loveliest nerd convention.

Oh and BTW if you like LGBTQ podcasts you may enjoy my other project, Queens of Adventure, a comedy-adventure podcast that stars drag queens playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Thanks again for backing so many video, audio, and livestream projects. I couldn't make any of it without you! And as we head nervously into this strange new year, I'm just beside myself with gratitude for the opportunity to create new stuff for you.
