Things I Read That I Love #308: I Have Spent Many Lonely Nights Zombie-ing Around the Target on Flamingo – Autostraddle

HELLO and welcome to the 308th installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays Ive read recently so that you can know more about Las Vegas!! This column is less feminist/queer focused than the rest of the site because when something is feminist/queer focused, I put it on the rest of the site. Here is where the other things are.

The title of this feature is inspired by the title of Emily Goulds tumblr,Things I Ate That I Love.

It was SO kind of this human being to write exactly a story I have wanted to read for so long, which is non-fiction about Vegas, a city whose existence and history Ive always found fascinating. Also partially because for some reason I have been there 13 times despite not really having any particular fondness for it? You guys I have been to Vegas with five different girlfriends/boyfriends

Wow, yet another piece that hits all my sweet spots! This one is really looking at this new generation of truly immersive rides and what that says about the industry and fandom and everything.

You can basically hear her saying every line she says in this piece.

When I read this piece last week it felt so far away.

Again: for me.

The case of Christina Boyer, a possible telekenetic whos imprisoned for the murder of her daughter, a crime she insists she did not commit.

Her rise to Congress heralded the arrival of a new and modern political generation. And then the pictures leaked.

This guy said he was gonna build this backpack that served so many functions but maybe it was just like, batteries in pockets? He raised money for it on kickstarter. Anyhow he didnt make it. why not.

The arrest of Ed Buck is finally making space to discuss a chronic issue in LGBT communities and how rich white men are using meth to control and harm vulnerable black queer people who are lured in by solicitations for party n play. A three-part series. Very good, very important.
