Greetings Epochalips-ians, I’m Kristen from the band Antigone Rising. Very quickly, that’s pronounced an-tig-UH-nee rising. I KNOW at least 10 of you just had an “a-ha” moment because you’ve been calling my band an-TIE-gone Rising for the past 10 years. Here’s how I feel about that. Totally fine. You can pronounce my band’s name wrong,...
A Thousand Voices to Cool the World is a campaign to raise the voices of kids who stand to lose the most if we don’t start cooling the world. My name is Deborah Pardes and I’ve organized Cool the World to help kids around the globe raise their voices in support of environmental responsibility. When...
Raven Michaels is unlike any female character you’ve ever known – she was created to move you, challenge you, excite you and ultimately draw you in to her world then never quite let you out – which will be fine, because you won’t want to leave anyway. Raven was born in my imagination, but has...
From the mind of writer and director Katie Shannon, comes a drama that allows us to spend 10 minutes as a fly on the wall during the darkest part of any relationship. In The Morning After, Sam (Amy DePaola) and Lauren (Allison Faythe) are forced to address the infidelity and resentment that they have been...
For 400 weeks I have made a heart for my beloved Madalene. It started soon after we met, as a weekly romantic gesture as I was so crazy in love. A little heart constructed out of silly things on her doorstep intending to make her smile. During those crazy early days of love, somehow, love...
The bed is on fire. I am on fire. I am hot. My hair is dripping wet as if I’ve just stepped out of the shower. The bedclothes are a tangled mess around me. I kick them out of the way and fall into a fitful sleep only to awaken several hours later cold and...
So this juvenile red tailed hawk flew into my friend’s house, straight through the garden door and into the living room. The hawk was perching up in the rafters and swooped down repeatedly crashing into the picture window, stunning herself and then trying again. Ouch! Poor baby. I was alone at the time, just me...
Want to play show and tell? I do. But I’m going to tell first and show second. My new book, Licking the Spoon: A Memoir of Food, Family, and Identity, is being released by Seal Press this week. The story follows me from my wacky childhood to the current day, with the major beats in...
Halloween has been and always will be my favorite holiday. Am I alone in this? Sure hope not. As a lesbian I note how many people love to somehow turn Halloween into some weird thing about how and why LGBT individuals enjoy it so. How about it’s just fun as hell?! Wait, could it be…why...
October is breast cancer awareness month. I do not need a month to make me aware of breast cancer. I do not need a Susan Komen walk or an Avon walk to remind me of breast cancer. I do not need a pink ribbon either. I need only look at my left breast- the scar...
Hang on, it’s going to be a wild ride!
