When I first started reading TLL, it was full of posts from women all over the country. It had erotica, humor, opinion…it had a little bit of everything. Ladies, where did you go? What happened to the TLL I used to love? Now when I log on, all I see are Sappho Speaks posts, advice [...]

There were days that strung into weeks, maybe years where I had convinced myself that all I needed wasme, myself, I. I would occasionally let people in only to be reminded that the gift of friendship always came with a steep price, especially for me as I opened the door so wide after going without the gentle breeze of human intimacies for so long that I was easy prey for my so-called friends. It may not happen after a month, or six, sometimes not even a year, but sooner or later the hammer dropped and something was stolen from me – both materialistically and emotionally and I would retreat back into myself, promising never to let anyone close again. What a fool’s oath! We do all need each other in the end but bonds of trust are living, breathing things.

This next subject is as universal as the human experience and spreads throughout the world in many different forms, both legal and illegal, friendly and stolen, and in the mere disappearance of one child and unannounced appearance of another – no questions asked. There are so many other on the black market and simply sold children for economic reasons in the poorest of regions and the wealthiest of communities as if a child is a simple commodity, not a living, breathing life. In between there exist the most vilest of the child trade for sex, work and any other whim an entitled person might feel to any other thing on the market place to be bartered over as if it were a trinket in the world’s largest flea market. I grew up an adopted person amidst these images and one pondering what made me so fortunate to get the luck of the draw, ending up with upper, middle-class, phenomenal parents through a Los Angeles Superior Court County Adoption, is a tale of randomness in the extreme.

I know it’s been a long running joke in the lesbian community but we all know it is just wishful thinking, but let’s take that wish on into fruition and live in this world for a little while. I think we would find 2009’s political landscape much different for gay men and women.

I thought it was a numbers game…I was actually quite positive, but then I’m almost always sure I’m right…I can say “almost” now because here at the beginning of my fourth decade, I’m finally starting to outgrow the need to always be right. And, by the way, for the record, I was definitely wrong.
Oh, also, [...]

I got my free Quit Kit in the post the other day, on the exact same day that I had chosen on which to quit smoking. For once, the NHS got something right! By the way, I’d suggest you make yourself comfortable. I have little doubt that there will be many more ‘I Have Decided [...]

I swear recently, I’ve talked about politics more than anything else, at home at least. It’s probably because of the upcoming general election. Well, one of the hottest topics right now is Gay Rights. I was surprised to hear David Cameron saying how “We do need good sex and relationship education. That education should teach [...]

Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)
Sometimes it’s joked about in the Lesbian community that all we need is our dogs or cats, and a woman just becomes the icing on the cake. Well certainly compared to the heterosexual community, the GLBT community takes pet ownership to a whole new level. This [...]

What Would Sappho Say?
Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)
As an insomniac, I started staying up later and later at night until it just became a part of my life. Now, even when a get a descent night’s sleep that starts at about 1 AM and goes until 8 AM or so. [...]

Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)
Ridiculous was one of my favorite words to use for years and years and one day “poof” out of nowhere, the word was ruined for me. How you may ask? My best friend at the time just had to tell me a story about and her girlfriend and [...]
