(This is the third installment in a multi-part short story. You can read the entire series, to date, here.) By early afternoon Sarah had unpacked her kitchen. Crumpled paper and empty boxes were spread all over the floor, but the cabinets were full. She made herself some soup for lunch, and ate it with crackers and cheese, sitting at the little table in her bay window. The fog had burned off and outside it was clear and sunny. She cracked one of the windows a little. It was still cold. She lo... Read Full Story

(This is the second in a multi-part short story. You can read the entire series, as it develops, here.) In the morning, the apartment was cold. Sarah thought she could see the faint puffs of her breath. Her eyes were itchy and swollen and she rubbed at her nose as she made her way to the kitchen. “Damn, cat,” she thought. She was sure that today, in the daylight, she could find the cat and shoo it out of her apartment, if there was, in fact, a cat, and she hadn’t imagined it... Read Full Story

Sarah was deep in that twilight place between wakefulness and sleep when she felt the cat jump on to her bed. She felt it walk around the bed and finally curl up behind her in the small of her back. The room was cold, and she pulled the down comforter up around her ear before she suddenly awoke fully, startled awake. “I don’t have a cat,” she thought. There was a hesitation of a moment or two while she thought about she should do, and then she reached out gingerly for the bedside lamp, feelin... Read Full Story

Probably not safe for work, but safe enough and absolutely hilarious for 13-year-old boys: I know this is getting posted all over the internet, and I have to thank blogger extraordinaire Violet Blue for bringing it to my attention. I’m reposting it here because, well, some things just belong on Geek Porn Girl and I’d have to count a self-inflating bra among them. The “hand of God” bra uses inflation technology to lift the girls to new heights. The name may be the fun... Read Full Story

Just like I said it would happen, Ellen DeGeneres is on the cover of O magazine. Sure there was lots of silliness – mock begging and pleading, a Halloween costume stunt where Ellen dressed up as a magazine cover – but this decision was in the bag months ago. She’s only the second person to be featured on the cover with the Oprah (the first was Michelle Obama), and might be the first gay person. I say “might” because I think the jury is still out on Oprah. The cover features ... Read Full Story

We’ll never know whether coming out to the press as a lesbian helped to boost the career of Playboy magazine’s Miss November 1992 – but everyone knows that a little hint of girl-on-girl action seems to attract straight men like, well, flies to honey. It looks like this lesbian has turned into a hasbian, however. The New York Post is reporting that Stephanie Adams is engaged to a  unnamed man. Adams released the following statement to Page Six: “I would like for his privacy t... Read Full Story

I think if I had to describe Blake Wright, I would call him the Dan Savage of artists: funny, sexual, twisted, irreverent. (And those of you who know how much I love DS know just what a compliment this is.) Thanks, Blake, for loaning me this drawing! ********************** Posted in Comics & Humor Tagged: blake wright, cartoon, comic, dan savage, dyke, gay, GLBT, humor, lesbian, LGBT, queer Read Full Story

Quite some time ago, I post a coloring contest in honor of this site’s 2nd birthday. Christine Phillips of the The Erotic Lesbian Coloring Book illustrated a story from my archives, and we invited you to color it and send it in. We got a lot of cool entries. Here are the three that we thought stood out. The drawing illustrates my short story, “Following the Thread,” which is actually pretty tame. Christine chose it when we discovered we have a mutual love of The Cowboy Junkies. Christin... Read Full Story

Back at the end of August, I wrote about my experiences as a femme ally at the Butch Voices conference held in Oakland. That first post, and the ones that came after, engendered a few comments. (You can read the posts here.) This month, on Canada’s queer website, Xtra.ca, the site’s monthly columnist, author Ivan Coyote talks about her experiences at the conference. This is well worth reading. The room smelled like hair wax and Old Spice deodorant and cigarette smoke caught in clo... Read Full Story
