A true underground legend of the Pacific Northwest rave scene, Sappho is a queer event producer, DJ, and musical artist based out of Portland, OR.
With her deep crate-digging and eclectic style, Sappho can rock a party like no other DJ. Like her namesake, she is a poet for the dance floor, providing a transformative, liberating soundtrack that might encompass anything from obscure 70s disco to contemporary house bangers. Her current DJ residencies include NoFOMO (Portland, OR), Bottom Forty (Seattle, WA), and Underground SF (San Francisco, CA).
"How can you go wrong with a .gay domain name?” Sappho says. “As a DJ and electronic musician named after Sappho, the ancient poet of love and desire between women, I'm stoked to have a website with a domain name that reflects a part of my identity and community."
Please join us in welcoming Sappho to the .gay community!

Money. Politics. Sex. The three things your mother told you never to discuss at the dinner table. One content creator has built an entire career on one of them — and he's not even a little bit sorry.

For nearly three decades, Logan Lynn has built a career rooted in radical transparency. The Portland-based musician, writer, filmmaker, and mental health advocate first emerged as a teenager, signing a record deal at just seventeen years old using songs he had written and recorded years earlier. Since then, Lynn has released a deep catalog of music spanning indie rock, synth-pop, and electronic influences while building a reputation for emotionally raw songwriting that explores identity, grief, addiction, love, recovery, and survival.

When Jesse Rudicil started RudicilAI Lab Inc in Los Angeles, he had a straightforward mission: “Be the leader in medical, legal, and cellular AI technology.” His goal is to explore how artificial intelligence could support advances in areas such as patient care, legal processes, and cellular research. It’s early-stage, ambitious work, and much of it sits at the intersection of fields that don’t always connect easily.
