Letter From the Editor I come from two minds when it comes to the word “queer.” One is related to the specific academic mode of thought and its theories and politics, and the other is how I feel people lead their lives. Of course, one is not exclusionary to the other but when I’m reading Judith Butler, I don’t generally think of The Raspberry Reich, and whether I’m watching certain films, admiring some person, or listening to music, I don’t often think of Judith Butler. Queer theory can also sometimes be the vehicle by which queer art and experience can be evaluated, but, again, this rarely happens concurrently with the experience.

Washing Dirty Words The room is bustling with first grade energy. Six-year-olds are scattered about, playing and fighting, wrestling over games and toys. From the corner of the room a high-pitched scream pierces the din made by the class, and the volume drops dramatically. A startled boy looks at his teacher, perhaps expecting a reprimand on the appropriate use of an indoor voice. Instead, she turns to him and says, “My God, Roberto, do I need to buy you a little skirt?”

Smoking? Smoking is such a deliciously simple vice that seems to just get better with every opinionated and oh-not-so-subtle forced cough.
