Look Who the Rain Brought Over

Don’t worry, there’s lots more ASDAH stuff that I’ll be posting over the next few days or weeks. While I was in class tonight, though, there was a big rainstorm, and when I came home, look who was waiting by my front step!
Of course, given my complete lack of memory about 6th grade science, […]

Blogging ASDAH: Why I came

Saturday morning’s first presentation, by Paul Ernsberger, exemplifies perfectly what I came here for. Ernsberger is a researcher at Case Western Reserve and I heard him speak once before, back in the day, at a NAAFA event here in Cleveland; his information is as vital and controversial now as it was then.

Snore.

I know I am being impossibly boring this week. Believe me, I am boring myself. I keep thinking I’m going to write something and then I find someone else has pretty much written it which is simultaneously satisfying and anti-climactic. I’m also getting ready to go to Cleveland for the Size Diversity […]

LDO: Notes from a weekend

Getting out of town is hard for me; I’m disorganized and slow, especially when it’s 90 degrees, so last Friday by the time I finished work, got food and gas, fought traffic and made it to the land, I was pretty hot and cranky. It was my first time to facilitate the meeting and […]

Lierre Keith on Sex and Violence

WARNING: POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING MATERIAL
Anyway, the manila envelope had a stick-um with my name on it.
‘Skyler, How about a “centerfold” of these photos? From the Lesbian/Power Conference.–Annelise’
The quotes around centerfold gave me a bad feeling, but there was no point in putting off the inevitable. I stuck my hand in and pulled out […]
