Talking sexual politics and botany with poet Ed Madden, co-editor of Out Loudnew
Ed Madden is worth listening to for a couple of reasons. For one, as co-editor of the essay collection Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio, he has found himself at the crossroads of sexuality and politics this year during the much-publicized Statehouse censorship debates.

New Owner of Worcester Telegram & Gazette No Stranger to Slashing and Cuttingnew
The hatchet is expected to fall inside the headquarters of the 148-year-old Worcester Telegram & Gazette, but just how painful the cuts will be will not be known until after the blow is delivered. While the immediate future of the largest daily newspaper in Central Massachusetts is murky right now, two things are clear: One, the new steward of the T&G has a track record of slashing and cutting staff - and not a perfect record of results once it buys a new product. Two, the man who sold the newspaper to the Halifax Media Group is persona non grata in Worcester.

"To Us, Marriage is a Sacrament."new
Lucien Greaves, Spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, speaks with us about gay marriage and Gov. Rick Snyder: "Gov. Rick Snyder allows his loathing of homosexuals to trump his adhesion to the Constitution. What we’d like to do is school Snyder on the Constitution, and school him on the First Amendment by performing a gay marriage in Michigan. To us, marriage is a sacrament."

A RAW Journeynew
Now, nearly three years after RAW’s official public launch happened in August of 2011, the organization has become exactly that – the United Nations of Crafts.

RAW artisans range from a Bhutanese stone sculptor to a Rwandan basket weaver to a Central African embroiderer, and those are just a select few of about 20 members.
