When I ask Mark Goodman, Graduate Academic Advisor in the Department of Art at the University of Austin, what he wishes he could tell his 25-year-old self about a career as a visual artist, he pauses. In his early twenties, he wasn’t an artist, he was a photographer. It was the early 70s. Photography wasn’t [...]

With the New Year comes a time for reflection. This year my annual reflection comes straight off the heels of a two-week trip to Austin. It’s always exciting to go back home, see friends, hug my mom and dad, and generally just catch up on things. For this trip, however, I had a goal. [...]

My friend Rebecca watches ”RuPaul’s Drag U” with her six-year-old daughter, who’s a big fan. The six-year-old, her mother believes, doesn’t understand that Jujubee, Raven and the other drag queens are not biological women.
