I may just have to make an end-of-the-month habit of this. That is, if it proves of any entertainment and/or educational value. Behold, above, the search strings that brought various bedraggled souls, possibly even YOU, dear reader, to this place.

It’s official!

[Non-female reader alert! The word "menstruation" appears no fewer than four times below! You've been warned, brother! Skip this now, if you're a wuss, or read on, if you dare!]

The image at right is a chilling one. Most people, if they can identify it as an iconic symbol of the rise of the Nazis, imagine that the books being burned are those of Jewish authors, or others considered enemies of the Third Reich. Many of the authors of the books were Jews. [...]

A Banned Books Week teaser

I’ve been working something up in honor of Banned Books Week, which starts at the end of next week. But this news item was worth passing along as a not-so-savory appetizer.
From Worth The Trip (a fantastic kids & teens book blog that’s been gracing my Queer Parenting Resources links list for a coupla weeks), we [...]

You know, that "selfish note" is really very helpful. It's one of the few, most powerful grace notes amidst the long (long) reverberating shocks from grief and loss -- the knowledge that others take note, and live (or in my case,

    • perkl8 commented on SF Pride Slideshow saying bee-yootiful. Thanks so much for posting all the photos! We got to the celebration a bit late so didn't see much parade.

    • Lesbian Dad commented on I heart Pride saying Thanks, Vikki. True enough: very hard to negotiate heat, crowds, and streetcar tracks whilst herding wee ones.

Fortunately, for most of the walk up Market St. we had three adults in our immediate group, and another half-dozen chums in shouting distance. And
    • Vikki commented on I heart Pride saying That picture is fabulous! I posted the few pics I took at Pride on my blog. I wish that I had taken more but it's hard when you are wrangling the kids through crowds...as you well know.
