7th Biennial Deaf Lesbian Festival – DLF Chicago 2012
By Terri Worman It’s not unusual for a conference, festival or world event to come to our fair city. It’s not unusual to see the many faces of the world’s peoples moving about our town and neighborhoods…not unusual to hear the many dialects and languages spoken from all across the globe. I’d say diversity is [...]
The Enchantment of a New Year
As we pass from December of one year to January of the next, I marvel at the apparent collective societal agreement to embrace phrases like do over, start again, clean slate. It’s as if, with the final stroke of midnight and the start of the first notes of Auld Lang Syne, the human species allows [...]
20 Years and Good Coffee To Boot
People who know me will tell you… I like my coffee strong. As a reader and writer, I like quiet places to ponder the universe. But in this day of music and distractions in every nook and corner of the world outside my home or car, it is really hard to put the two of [...]

Some years ago, I went back to Fort Wayne for the 80th birthday party of one of my mentors. We were resurrecting the Fort Wayne Feminists Coffeehouse of old – a wonderful collage of songs, photos, skits and spoofs that paid tribute to this strong-willed, funny and courageous woman who had molded and touched all [...]
Best Laid Plans and Basketball
Today’s blog is a perfect example of the best laid plans of mice and lesbian bloggers…and how easily our plans can go awry. After last week’s inaugural blog, I set out to outline the themes for the first couple of month’s worth of blogs. Nothing was set in stone, and I did want to stay [...]
Better With Age Introduction
You know, it’s always good to know you have a niche in life. I had heard through the grapevine that The L Stop crew was looking for a scrappy, mouthy writer who wasn’t afraid to speak up about the needs and wants of women age 50 and older, especially LBT women. Of course, you say [...]
