Qmmunity: Birthday Tidings

Reader, there’s something you ought to know: It’s my BIRTHDAY this coming Tuesday. Yes, 33 years ago the columnist whose words you skip in order to read about the latest drag shows was born unto this gay little world. I share Nov. 17 with two other short kings, Martin Scorsese and Danny DeVito, the latter of which I’ll be celebrating with a screening of Matilda on Tuesday, aka our joint b-day. (Tix at hyperrealfilm.club; please come!) Last week was probably the best gift I could’ve gotten – blue? Texas?? And a fellow James winning??? – but should you feel the giving spirit continue, consider throwing a book or some coin to Inside Books Project. They’re a great nonprofit providing reading material for those incarcerated in Texas. If you check their website, you’ll find not only links to their Bookshop wish list but also guidance on what genres and types of books you can physically donate. I’m so happy with my life as it is right now.
