Cuddling in Place with My Wife
After dinner when you look at each other and wonder: what shall we do tonight? That Jewish holiday question: ‘Why is tonight different from other nights?’ unfortunately now gets answered with: It ain’t!
The Best Looking Woman
I’m thinking about good looks. I mean what is good looking? What looks good to whom? How do we know when we look good? Who do we look good to?
Resting Bitch Face is Sexy
Many women, when their faces are at rest…have a look that many, especially men, find unpleasant.
Revolution is Not a One Time Event
As a lesbian feminist at aged 70 I’ve been at or near the front lines since I was 16 years old; and I haven’t stopped since then...
Gratitude and Movies
Oh no, it’s one of those end of the year letters that people send because they think their friends are interested in what award they got or how many National Parks they’ve visited; or how many cats they have! (Two, 25 pounds each) And you feel like you have to read them because what kind […]
It’s Time to Plot Against the Proud Boys!

She was inviting authors of all types to write essays (in the form of letters) which would be part of an anthology called Radical Hope: Letters of Love and Dissent in Dangerous Times. […]
LGBT History and The City of Brotherly Love
When GILDA, Diane and I pulled into Philadelphia, a city I’d visited regularly in the 1980s, it was like coming home. (Fortunately this was weeks ahead of the Democratic National Convention!) We stayed in a lovely B & B, The Alexander Inn, on Spruce St; just around the corner from the store where I was reading: […]
On the Road with THE GILDA STORIES
Of all the southern cities Atlanta is the one I’ve visited most. It’s got wonderful universities, peaches and Coca Cola (I know, not correct but it’s been my fave since I was a kid!). I attended the very first conference on Black Speculative Fiction writers at Clark Atlanta University more than a decade ago and […]
