This week on Qweird, things are going to be a little different. Nicole and Yvie are having a conversation to try and process what has happened this past week in our home state of Michigan.

happy october, qweirdos! we're kicking it off with some wild ideas from a wild woman! valerie solanas was a bold and brash butch who had a rough ride in life. she was an artist, a wanderer that desperately wanted to leave a mark on the world. and when she shot andy warhol she opened the world's eyes to her solo revolution. valerie was scum. be queer & stay weird! xox - NY

being butch/femme can be a label, a performance, an identity, or a mix of any & all. that's what's so fun about queer folx, we play. we play with gender, we play with labels and identity, and even though everyone performs gender (or no gender), queer folx have the most fun. be queer & stay weird! xox - ny

artists are people just like us, but their brilliance can make them seem brighter & shinier than any ordinary penny. we fall in love with their art, and sometimes we project it onto them. problem is, people are problematic, and since artists are people too their problematicization (made up word) can break our hearts. can we enjoy their art knowing they're a predator? can you take the artist ou...

that moment when you see them for the first time and your heart skips a beat, your stomach becomes a butterfly sanctuary, and suddenly your head is floating high in the clouds...ask yourself, is it love at first sight or stranger danger?  be weird & stay queer! xox - NY

do you beat around the bush or take a weed-whacker to it? do you hedge your bets or bet the farm? this week we're talking ask v. guess culture. are askers rude, presumptuous, and entitled? are guessers flaky, exhausting, and passive? are we both at different times and under different situations? do nicole & yvie have any answers?

And while we're at it, do celebs owe it to us to come out...
