What are Tati Tuesdays? Tati Tuesdays are a weekly feature that highlights Things Around the Interwebs that I’ve found this week and want to share. They’re a way to keep me engaged with you, the reader, without feeling the pressure to comment extensively and intelligently on every article I want to bring to your attention. In addition to the acronym, they’re called “tati” because I tend to drink tea in the mornings while I surf the web. Hence, “ta for the tea!” shortened to tati.

Just discovered the Savage Love Podcast. If you like reading Savage’s column, you have to check out his podcast.

Where else can you hear someone say “what, did a pussy fall on his head?”

Colbert does a fairly gay Thursday episode with “Stonewalling” as the Word and a journalist who was at Stonewall as a guest.

Rah, Rah, Home State!
I was excited about this but didn’t expect it to pass. An anti-bullying bill focusing on sexual orientation-based school violence, among other things, passed the General Assembly by one vote. As someone who lived in fear and anxiety as a queer kid in North Carolina, I’m thrilled to hear about this.
