Serving Smart Lesbian Commentary Since 2010

From my very first Epochalips post in June 2010: “This is the day I’ve been waiting for. This is the day I’ve been working toward. This day is the culmination of all I’ve ever done, said, thought, dreamed of, hoped for and planned. It is here, it is real, and it is mine now. It’s […]

Fabulosa, the Fab West Coast Women’s Festival!

The first Fabulosa I attended in 2012 was a chance for me to face my fears. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to go, but none of my friends were up for it. I hemmed and hawed, and even pulled my car over halfway there—almost turning back. But I soldiered on, not […]
