Cry Wolf

Don’t bother clicking over to the amazon page for Cry Wolf, unless you’re planning on buying it. There’s nothing there that would lead you to want to check this thing out. Thank goodness for people like Liz who blog about really obscure lesbian utopias (or dystopias, as the case may be.)

She posts stuff like this all of the time:

– classroom scene, with Curie’s speech about Blue
– Mutants!
– Global climate change
– the bitter, lonely inner thoughts of Curie
– Sexual tension of Curie (and everyone, but especially and her best pupil Sophie)
– The festival with the cult dancers and the orgy in the river. Don’t miss the sexy hermaphrodite sex scenes. Here there be “fringe”. Tentacles?
– Telepathy!
– Curie begins to tell a mythical version of the past to Sophie.
– Curie’s mother was one of the women of Greenham Common

And when she posts stuff like this about obscure novels I immediately head to my library’s interlibrary loan page and try to have the masterpiece sent to me. Thank goodness Cry Wolf arrived.

Awesome. And I won’t say anything more because Liz has it all covered. Loved it and loved the Scheherazade stories of the women.

Which Lesbian Stereotype Are You?


You’re a Granola Dyke!
You’re pretty into politics and you’ve got the vegan (or at least vegetarian) thing going on…maybe. You’re often perceived as nerdy, but you don’t care: you know all these meat heads will be working for you someday. You’re probably an independent culture loving feminist and this shows through what you read, watch, wear, buy, eat, and listen to. You’re the new grrrl for the 21st century, baby!

$10, $15, $25, $50 – It makes a difference

Over the weekend, I bought a domain name for $10. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with it yet.

$10 covers the costs of a clinic in Nepal for two days. 2 days.

This morning, we spent $15 at Starbucks. We bought 2 Quad Grande Non-Fat Caramel Macchiatos and 1 Triple Grande Cinnamon Dulce w/whip.

$15 also buys lunch for 50 girls in a West African village

$15 can fund healthcare for medicine for 100 refugees in Darfur

We need to fill up the gas tank today, which will cost about $25.

$25 also aids 20 Afghanistan women with reproductive health care and education

I was thinking about dinner at Satchel’s which costs about $50.

$50 will provide AIDS counseling for 2 women in South Africa.

My money can make a difference – so can yours.
