RIP, Bella Lipson Tillis.
Without this woman’s vision, I would not be the woman I am today. Bella Lipson Tillis, thank you so much from the very bottom-most bottom of my heart. You taught me to SING!

Don’t ask a girl out unless you have a minimum of 15 character references attesting to her homosexuality and unless she has “gay” tattooed on her forehead. Otherwise you are preying on a straight girl.

I really need to figure out some way of getting an altar space together.. :( I have literally nothing to set things on, a serious lack of space and no money to buy a shelf unit or something. I’m not crafty at all so this is really difficult for me…..

Work is Not a Virtue in Itself
I find myself today considering these two quotes from Niels Charlier, and a third that is attributed to Paul of Tarsus: “If people understood that there is no virtue in work itself, they would perhaps ask themselves the question, what is it really that is creating poverty.” “People work to create wealth, work itself is not a goal.” “For the love of money is the...

Another Response to Lisa Vogel's Statement
Recently, I was asked to provide some background, and a reaction to Lisa Vogel’s recent public statement concerning the continuance of the trans exclusion policy, for an article concerning the Michigan Women’s Music Festival. Since there will inevitably be some editing of what I wrote, here is the text in its entirety. I am told the article will be published some time next month:

It’s part of an experiment to analyze how motor control changes with age. It guessed my age within a year (told me I had the clicking skills of a 31-year-old!).
What about you?
It guessed I’m 29. In reality, I’m 22....

Even if you think it should be gendered, I want you to do a little exercise. Come up with a reason why gendering it is better than not gendering it, and a reason why not gendering it would be better than gendering it. And, I want you to think about why it was gendered in the first place, because usually, the origin of its gendering was completely arbitrary, and may not have been the same gender it...
