    Drag Queens Fight Back Against Armed Protestors (Vice News/YouTube)

    January 24, 2023 /

    From Vice News:

When armed protestors came to town, the community met them on the streets — fully prepared. Vice News Tonight’s Dexter Thomas Jr. meets up with one of San Antonio’s drag queens and the rest of the community to see how they are handling the rise in hate.

    Video Select: 10 Things I Wish I’d Known Before Starting a New Vegetable Garden (GrowVeg/YouTube)

    May 5, 2021 /

    Video Select is a regular feature suggesting videos of interest for the LGBTSr reader.

    One thing I wish I’d known was that rabbits can make their baby nests in gardens that have not been cleared for spring planting! This happened to me just yesterday when I finally got around to clearing out the wild growth in our raised beds. To my dismay, I came upon a nest of baby rabbits. After searching online for what to do, I read that leaving it alone is the best approach. So I covered the babies back up as best I could and sent a human-to-rabbit telepathic call out to Mama, hoping she will relocate them or that they’ll survive long enough to hop away.

    Watch this video from GrowVeg for less alarming tips on what to consider before starting a new vegetable garden. – Mark McNease/Editor

    Steve Hayes / Tired Old Queen at the Movies: Lady of Burlesque

    May 11, 2020 /

    From Steve Hayes / Tired Old Queen at the Movies:

    Barbara Stanwyck shakes, rattles and rocks as a stripper trying to solve a series of murders in William Wellman’s comic mystery “Lady Of Burlesque” (1943). Based on a novel by Gypsy Rose Lee, it boasts a cast of fabulous “hard boiled dames” including Iris Adrian, Marion Martin, Gloria Dixon and Stephanie Bachelor, as well as vaudeville comics Michael O’Shea and Pinky Lee. With a witty script and terrific backstage atmosphere, it’s a riotous, backstage comedy/ whodunnit that’ll have you guessing right up to the surprise climax. If you’ve gotta’ stay in, this is the one to settle in with!

    Steve Hayes: Tired Old Queen at the Movies – Northern Pursuit

    April 14, 2020 /


    From Steve Hayes:

    Errol Flynn plays a Canadian Mounted policeman and fights off Nazi invaders who’ve landed a submarine in Hudson’s Bay in Raoul Walsh’s wartime adventure, NORTHERN PURSUIT. Filled with typical Warner Brothers spectacle, fast paced action and suspense, it’s a perfect vehicle for Flynn who works with a superb supporting cast which includes; handsome Helmut Dantine as the ultimate, evil commander, Julie Bishop as the pert love interest, and Gene Lockhart as a weaselly traitor. It’s fabulous entertainment for an early spring evening.
