Today was Reader Appreciation Day, an event spear-headed by Robin Reagler, our gal over at The Other Mother. Robin has been a lesbian parent blogospheric cheerleader par excellence lately. This is her second group fun-fest in a few months, the earlier one being the Freedom to Marry week carnival of posts, celebrating something old, [...]

[Ed note: the following dada narrative was dictated by the lil' monkey to the beloved, who faithfully recorded it verbatim. Wee book making, with dictated narration to accompany illustrations, has become a favorite pastime.

If everything is fine, and not a mess, please ignore this post. If everything is not fine, please ignore this blog for a while (how long? who knows!) until [...]

I love them like I know the loss of a child.
My nephew and his cancer battle come to me all the time. These memories form the hazy-dense under-writing on top of which the love of my children is written every day. But Erik and the loss of him comes never more directly than [...]

    Lesbian Dad 101

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.

    Lesbian Dad Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

    • wyliekat commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying “Back in 1996, it was going to be this brave new world where women were finally going to take control of their stories, and to me, it is often more a crushing sameness.” Well, jeebus. Welcome to life. No matter where you go, or what you're doing, that level of "crushing sameness" exists. Some of us
    • Mr Lady commented on Groom saying I am very sorry that you are going to have to suffer through what I can only imagine will be several weeks of comments that all say the same thing: You amaze me. I celebrate for your family today. Old married couples are the best ones, anyway.
    • Mr Lady commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying I just am going to be all *swoony* and express, again, my gratitude for having found you. This is a phenomenal post.

    • carol commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying Love your observations...one of the best recaps/overviews I've read. I so enjoyed meeting you. (I'm the one you "helped" in the hallway after the keynote with Heather and Stephanie...you can just call me "homey".) Looking forward to reading your site in the future.
    • Mocha commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying You have touched on so very many important points here and I hate to dwindle it down to what hit me most but it's this: we're real people sharing stories. Simple! I'm glad I sidled up to talk to you with our children in tow. Even though there's a great deal of difference in their ages,
    • Lesbian Dad commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying You are too kind. Now! [Cough choke!] A quick scan of their site shows that the Z1012 IS might be the one for you. Hold out for this one, baby! A price cannot be placed on your vision, but you certainly deserve their best.
