FEMALES WHO SAY NO TO MALES

Females who say no to males are not "discriminating." Male supremacy flows in only one direction. 

Pass it on.

THROW-BACK THURSDAY: VISITING DALLAS 1983, BUZZCUT AND CARHARTTS

For a long time, I maintained a relationship with the ex who brutally dumped me, because (a) I didn't want to lose access to the child we'd been raising together and (b) it was something expected in lesbian-feminist culture, that we not further divide our community by feuding with ex-lovers. So many of us were ex-lovers. 

Hence, I made at least annual visits to Dallas where my ex lived, driving or flying from SF. In this photo I am on a couch with her, our child, and her newest lover. I have cropped them out because I don't have their permission to show their images and, in the case of my ex, she would probably now object to any documentation of the fact that she spent over two decades as a
lesbian.

 I loved those overalls. They were indestructible. And I miss that plushy buzz.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: ORPHANED ATKINS CHILDREN AND GRANNY, 1933, STONEBURG, TEXAS

Photo taken circa 1933, after my mother and her siblings were orphaned. Back row is my Aunt Sarah Margaret Atkins; my mother's mother's mother's mother Margaret Semmerine Ritchie Armstrong Dowdy; and my Uncle Bill, William Rusk Atkins II. In front is my mother, Mary Jo Atkins. Very soon after this photo, the three children were separated, sent to live with different Atkins aunts and uncles, and would seldom see each other again until adulthood. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Bill wound up in abusive households. Mama would luck out, having a good home. I think this photo shows their fear and hurt, already hitting them. The red brick building in the right background is Stoneburg High School, attended by my mother's mother, my mother, and then me. I knew every inch of it. It has now been replaced by a new metal building.
