2 Announcements, One Roundabout, One Not
SCENE: Yesterday at the breakfast table
ME: I hate April Fools' pranks. Do you like them?
GUAPA (aka the Girlfriend): I like the verbal ones.
ME: Like what?
GUAPA: Like calling my Mom today and telling her that actually I plan on taking two wives.
Things have been pretty quiet around here because I'm in the process of moving my blog elsewhere. I'll be ( Read more... ) -

Boston Area Folks: Let's Miss The Super Bowl!
As some of you know, a women's event I used to host usually fell on Super Bowl Sunday and missing the game to hang out with a bunch of queer women was a great pleasure--for all of us. Super Bowl Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to get good parking, to feel very safe walking around the streets or go to places (without televisions!) that are ( Read more... ) -
This Friday 7 AM at Diesel: Write, Write, Write
We have another writing date at 7 AM this Friday (and basically every Friday that isn't a holiday weekend, even though this one is, kind of). Bring paper and pen or a charged laptop. I'll be there from 7-9:30, so drop in anytime. You are also free to have breakfast and schmooze, but we want to reserve at least one hour (maybe more!) to write. The ( Read more... ) -

Queer Women Writers in Boston: Tomorrow Morning
I have resisted the idea of a writing group, since I feel there are already many queer-friendly options for folks in the Boston area. But I would like to set up a regular writing date for folks, where a group of us do our own writing for an hour or more at a time and because we're in a group we don't make phone calls, read the paper or try on new ( Read more... ) -
The Perfect Storm of Satire
Okay,
Most of the time when someone posts a link to a YouTube video I'm disappointed. Despite my being addicted to several teenage, gay-boy soap story lines (American, British and...Catalonian) via the magic of YouTube, we still have kind of a complicated relationship YouTube and I. I hate television in all its soul-sucking, time-wasting ( Read more... )
