March Update: Videos, Podcasts, and a New Livestream!

Hello friends!

As they say, March comes in like a lion, so raaaar one and all. Are you planning your spring gardening? I just put in primroses the DAY before it snowed, so curse you March Lion!

Here's all the stuff your support makes possible in March:

• March 4 - Sewers of Paris bonus episode with Nancy's Kathy Tu: More fascinating stories from Beyond the Sewers of Paris! I'll be chatting with Kathy Tu, co-host of the podcast Nancy, about bringing queer podcasting to WNYC.
• March 10 - Livestream: I'll be joined by the delightful JP Brammer of ¡Hola Papi! We'll be talking about how he became the internet's premiere jockstrap-wearing advice columnist. Click the bell over here to get a reminder when we go live.
• March 22 - Culture Cruise video: All backers get early ad-free access to a new Culture Cruise video! I’ll diving into some more nostalgia with a close look at queer content in the entertainment we love.
• March 23 - Livestream: Yes, another one! Come say hello, share your recommendations, and make friends in the chat! I love hearing your recommendations for stuff to watch and read — let's talk about all the queer entertainment that’s lighting up our lives!
• Every Monday - Cozy Pants: A brand new podcast for Patreon backers at $4+ levels! Join me and my partner James for a goofy chat about the cultural comforts that are lighting up our lives. Recent topics include the science of the Power Rangers, Kate Bush's patented dance techniques, and a weekly book club segment about Tyra Banks' AMAZING fantasy novel Modelland.
• Every Thursday - Sewers of Paris: Each week on The Sewers of Paris, 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?
• Every Friday - Weekly Debrief: Get caught up on the week's LGBTQ news, how it affects you, and actions you can take! Weekly Debrief is your quick weekly roundup of everything you need to know about what's happening with queer people in the world and how you can help.

And! I'm SUPER EXCITED to announce a new thing that I'm working on! Starting March 2nd, I'll be part of a livestreamed game of Dungeons & Dragons with some lovely queer friends. Join Brian Moreno, Connor Olmstead, Justin Saint, and Jen Vaughn along with James Morris as DM and we delve into Waterdeep on a fun friendly adventure! Join us every Saturday at 11am Pacific at: https://www.twitch.tv/prettyprettypixel 

I'll also be popping up in a few other places in March!

• March 8 - BC Illuminates: A literary and technology festival at Bellevue College! I'll be doing a presentation on my favorite topic, LGBTQ themes on TV throughout the years. (Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy guy, is also going to be there, which is pretty rad.)
• March 9 - Seattle Online Broadcasters Association: A fun friendly monthly meetup for folks who make live stuff for the internet! I'll be hanging out with nice folks at Gameworks in downtown Seattle.
• March 14-17 - Emerald City Comic Con: Seattle's biggest comic book festival! I'll be wandering around taking pictures and working on an article about the current state of LGBTQ content in the comic industry. Say hi if you see me!

Can't wait to share all this stuff with you, and hopefully see you at one of those events! 

Thanks again for backing so many queer video, audio, and live endeavors. You're a vital part of making the Internet as gloriously queer as possible, and I'm grateful for your support every single day. <3
