in the update video Ryan said "we didn't want to bring Watcher to a close which would have happened if we stayed solely on YouTube." But they literally announced Andrew Ilnyckyj and Adam Bianchi joining Watcher last week!!! and it's so baffling because if you are in such a dire situation that closing down is a possibility maybe don't?? hire ??two new??? people???

I can not give an explanation for my thought process here, but trust me on this.

MESMERIZING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHS OF A SURREAL YOSEMITE

Photographer Ryan Berg transformed Yosemite into an unrecognizable surreal land, which seems plucked out of a Dr. Seuss book! Completed in a 5-day trip, the series of photographs are truly mesmerizing.

Jimmy concentrated his attention solely on me, disinterested in and almost unaware of the makeshift sky above. I remember the comfort and secrecy of the dark room as his fingers clasped my own, his breath warming my neck. He stole a quick kiss and my body came alive. I remember in that moment, with him by my side, what my young mind could only translate as warmth and well-being and pleasure. I was able to forget all the things I could never be, all the parts of me I didn’t like.

There are over 4k homeless youth in NYC; from that number, 43% identify as LGBTQ. Ryan Berg’s new book, No House to Call My Home, tells the stories behind the statistics and compels us to rethink the way we define privilege, identity, love, and family.

Finally a book that fully addresses the reality of homelessness and LGBTQ youth.  No House to Call My Own: Love, Family, and Other Transgressions, by Ryan Berg, new from  Nation Books.  An important and very moving book.

A self-described work of nonfiction, Berg’s writing builds on his years of experience as a residential counselor in a group LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning or Queer) home and then later as a caseworker supporting the transition of queer youths as they are “phased out” of the system. As individuals sometimes rendered invisible by both gay and mainstream media, Berg’s project is to inject autonomy and intimacy to their stories so often obscured behind statistics and overlooked by mainstream media.
