We Don't Live Here Anymore & Criminal (just ordered cause I found them for $2 each on Amazon Marketplace and had a visa gift card to finish off. Bitch all you want about their per-item shipping charges, I have gotten quite a few almost or brand new dvds, cd's and books from Amazon for much less than their regular price, even after shipping. Both of these, for example were only about a fourth or a third of their regular Amazon prices.)

(Okay so I alphabetized them.)

Cause every city needs a place where misspelling words is encouraged.

It's finally happening!: a safe, spiritual, community-building space for womyn is coming to Baltimore. If you're interested in being a part of creating or experiencing this kind of space, check out The Spiral Dance Womyn's Center and Bookstore The people I've met who are involved in the project have the kind of energy that just feels positive and nurturing for the soul. I wanted to pass this on since I can't be the only one who has wondered why a place like this didn't already exist in Baltimore.

Yes. Again with the spelling and word thing.

I have a theory that misspelling words on purpose just to make a point is hurtful to one's cause. So maybe spelling it "womyn" instead of "woman" gives you a momentary "so there" at Teh Eevul Patriarchy. But how does it lend any credibility and seriousness, other than people who would think that it's just a smashing idea anyway? I think there are far better ways to be taken seriously and work for equality. But hey...enjoy your Z Budapest and Marija Gimbutas. I'll be giving you a wide berth.

To be clear on that, yes, I think it's sheer idiocy. And reading over their website, this looks like the sort of place that would give me hives.

I wish that I could draw. That is to saw, draw as well as I'd like to be able to.

Because for some time now I've had this astounding image of Itzpopalotl, the Aztec Obsidian Butterfly goddess in my mind.

She scares me.

But I wish I could draw her.
