My top recommendation of the moment is a dive into Gay Comix / Gay Comics (not to be confused with early Archie strips) which ran from 1980-1998. To my knowledge, there's not a full reprint but you will be able to find copies online. (I'm linking to a web post on the publication.) Unlike any other print archives I've gone through, Gay Comix is a wide survey of gay/lesbian attitudes through the peak of the AIDS epidemic and the rise and fall of various subcultures. It's fascinating, inspiring, and often quite funny. I particularly love whenever Jennifer Camper shows up.

the real way to be an 'ally' is to get where a minority is coming from, and the best way to do that is to consume art from that minority's perspective!
(I Saw The Tv Glow is great for trans issues and Queer is great for gay concepts; both came out last year and are on Max US)

As a host, I've recently learned the power of a sheetpancake (sheetpan pancake). All of your 'slices' get an even bake and can be self served so everyone may eat at the same time. Utilitarian! You can fit in more toppings and (from my experience) the fruit cooks evenly in the oven unlike when it's dumped on a hot pan. Look, it isn't as 'glamorous' but, with sheetpancakes, you can spend time making the real stars of the show: Sides. (Eggs, omelettes, frittatas-- If you think it, you can make it.) Give it a try. If you hate it then, the next time you make a classic pancake, you'll be even more grateful for the arduous, thankless, experience. To paraphrase Ina Garten; 'My friends aren't going to have more fun if I spend extra time in the kitchen.'

A fun use of Internet Archive‘s log of Geocities' pages (made available via their Wayback Machine tool). This works as a snapshot of graphic design and a survey of public interest from the late 90s to the mid 00s. Note: This appears largely unmoderated so beware clicking through to the source pages and some materials may be NSFW.

I like this hemp shirt in size XL for spring/summer wear. I'm 6'4" at the moment. I find that it drapes my frame nicely with a shirt underneath. God bless. Thank you. Edit: Here's a pic.
