What a beautiful post (and accompanying drawing) about your dream. I love the word spelunking and what it means to spelunk is cool too. And thank you thank you thank you for pointing out Alex K’s connecting it to the poem “Diving into the Wreck”, it’s beautiful. I love this blog!

[...] Bechdel’s writing a new memoir (ooo, ahhh) and an image from her blog eerily resembles an image from Art Spiegelman’s Breakdowns: Portrait of an Artist as a Young [...]

Thanks for the agitating, Ready 2, and everyone else who has taken the time to help with our case– words are not enough to express how grateful I am.

Just left a voicemail for Sgt. Mark Osland. He can be reached at 612-673-3705.

I said I was calling about the assault that occurred at the U Otter Stop Inn on Dec. 6th. That I don’t know the victims personally but had read about the incident over the weekend. That I am concerned that the MPD is not adequately protecting our community, and may not be taking assaults against women seriously, which causese me grave concern. I mentioned the 3 points that DeLand DeLakes suggests above (see comment #61) and requested a return call as soon as possible to update me on the status of the investigation.

Will report back.

@–MC: I don’t know what Maggie’s beliefs are, but I for one am never surprised when one of the regulars at this blog is panic-stricken at the realization that s/he is guilty of a typo. I sometimes think that the little community we have here is what the legal profession might turn into in a utopian society where there were no lawsuits and the prevailing ethos insisted on mutual respect.

Would you believe, Maggie, that I actually had an anxiety attack this morning at two because I realized I’d written “mouth” instead of “out”?

The Adairs and also the young Rob Epstein, who went on to make other important lesbian/gay documentaries like “Paragraph 175″ and “The
Times of Harvey Milk”.

MC, thx for the link and the great news but the film is Word Is Out. It had a radical impact on my life, made me think of lesbian/gay in MUCH broader terms, was my first glimpses of Elsa Gidlow, Sally Gearheart, Dougie Dancer, and especially Trish Nugent whose songs I still sing to this day. The Adairs did a very good thing.
