Highly reccommend http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Rugosa-Coven-Sarah-Avery/dp/1837051607. It's about real Pagans having slightly otherworldly adventures, and it's awesome to be in a world where being pagan (and many different kinds, I thought it was very respectful) is the norm, even just in a book.

When I was in college in the mid and late 90s, the more mainstream parts of the movement were just starting to talk about how we needed to go for marriage and the military. I, and many other radicals, disagreed. We were not ever going to be "just like" the heteronormative culture and people, and we didn't want to be. We wanted to focus on dismantling patriarchy, capitalism, racism, and the like.
That said, I never thought I would see marriage equality in my lifetime. I mean, it was still illegal to have queer sex in many states when I came out. We were illegal. To go from literal bedroom raids and arrests to legal marriage in 20 years is astounding. To go from the President not acknowledging that we were dying in droves to the White House lit up in pride colors is awe inspiring.
We have so much more work to do, and I'm still a radical, I still believe that we need to fight capitalism and bring power to the people. I'm still a bisexual femme dyke who would rather fight the patriarchy than fight in the military. However, what a feeling of acknowledgment, of validation, for my people. What a day.

I'm re-reading some old school Harry/Draco. It's so nostalgic and fun!

Leslie Feinburg is dead. I am not OK.
I was so young and had such a crush when I met Leslie. S/he was so kind to what must have been a very obvious baby femme trying to get hir attention.
Leslie really meant the world to me.

My baby is 8 today. In some ways, it's gone so quickly, in others it's the longest 8 years of my life. He is kind and beautiful and generous and smart, and I'm so proud. I'm also incredibly grateful to the other mamas who have taught and supported me, and the fandom friends who have shared my fun these past 8 years. Love to you all!

It is getting a bit scary over here with the hurricane. Landfall is expected sometime this evening, and the shore is already under water. We have power for now. We have lost a few big branches outside so far, hopefully it won't get too much worse. The weather report is calling for 90-100 mph gusts when it hits land. Wish us luck.
