This Wednesday is already the last one of the month! Which means it is time for my monthly online event – Soft Touch Intimate Craft Crossover. This month, the theme is zine making. Without fully knowing that is what I was doing, my friends and I made our first zine in 1991 with a typewriter…
I am excited to join folks this evening for a little time of togetherness. I originally wanted to offer the option of an afternoon time block, especially if there were folks from further east that wanted in and the evening time slot was too late for them, but when it came right down to it,…

I got a message from a friend whose kid saw a character in a book that reminded her of me. This tells about the book and discusses the importance of queer and trans representation in children’s media.

This was originally written as a comment on the posting of an article on the facebook wall of my dear friend and collaborator barbara findlay. Being a generation or 2 older than me, and with a long history of involvement in legal activism on behalf of LGBTQ+ communities and individuals, her network includes individuals with…
I’ve been relatively silent in this stream for a number of months now. Huge changes unfolded over those months, including important perspective shifts and closing of chapters that had served their time.
