THROWBACK THURSDAY: DYKES WITH KIDS

This is me in the summer of 1977 with the child I helped raise, as so many of us did in those years, sans any parental rights or safety net. Taken in a photo booth in Denton, Texas. The red-and-white striped cap she's wearing was mine, bought on a trip to Durango, Colorado where I was checking out the wimmin's land collective I joined at the end of the summer.
