FRIENDS ONLY


  • Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. ~ Ursula K. LeGuin
  • No man is useless who has a friend, and if we are loved we are indispensable. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson, novelist, essayist, and poet (1850-1894)
  • Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'~Erich Fromme
  • There is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. You might just as well give in and save your sanity for later.~Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything
  • I have always been the type to go to the source of the rumor rather than believe the rumor. Seems the more intelligent thing to do. Of course, expecting intelligence may be my own personal Achilles' heel. ~me
  • Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
  • 'Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it -- memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things.' ~ Tad Williams, The Dragonbone Chair
  • "May your true nature be known and proclaimed." ~ Huron quote

  Some things are better left unsaid, so instead of talking about it, just soak in the sweet silence.

Look Who's Coming To Femme 2008   
03:45pm 05/03/2008
 


Dorothy Allison grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, the first child of a fifteen-year-old unwed mother who worked as a waitress. Now living in Northern California with her partner Alix and her teenage son, Wolf Michael, she describes herself as a feminist, a working class story teller, a Southern expatriate, a sometime poet and a happily born-again Californian.


For more information about Dorothy Allison please visit www.femmecollective.com.


Our Call for Submissions is now open. Deadline for submissions is May 1st, 2008.


Following our Femme2006 conference in San Francisco, where over 400 femmes and allies gathered for three days of workshops, panels, and performances, we again invite community members, artists, academics, homemakers, geeks, techies, activists, femmes of all kinds, and their allies to continue the conversation by participating in Femme 2008 in Chicago as presenters and participants.


Registration is now open! The early registration rate is $60.00 until May 30th, 2008.





I so want to go to this and now even more. I think I will register and then just cross my fingers. It's right in the middle of other things like the RWA conference and moving. sigh.

Dorothy Allison has long been an outspoken radical feminist and I have long been a fan of hers. To hear her speak would be a dream come true. I have it in my memory (which is so faulty that I don't trust it) that she was an ex-pat for a while. Or that she lived in Mexico because the US wouldn't let her back in. I can't remember and haven't googled it yet.
