Growing up in a conservative, evangelical Christian household in Louisiana, Rae McDaniel longed for a book that focused on the exciting parts of gender exploration.

“We’re going to have to figure out a way for me to help you,” my husband says once I am home on the couch, with my cast propped on a stack of pillows. It is not the short wrist cast I had envisioned. Rather, it begins at the shoulder, hinges at the elbow, tightens at […]

And it was these exact qualities that garnered praise. “You don’t have to worry about her,” people told my parents, and everyone swelled with pride. If no one understood me, I’d learn a new language. If my accent was a barrier, then — poof! — all of a sudden, I sounded American. If my bank […]

Make a Poem From Newspaper

Imitation is the best kind of flattery. All creative people, whether they be writers, artists, dancers, singers or actors, know that. Think about the performers on a TV show like “The Voice,” who sometimes perform the song of a judge they are targeting. Sometimes, it is imitation that gets them on the team of their […]
