Pride Classic Rainbow Flag in the wind

Tis a Good Day!

Karin Kallmaker 08/04/2010 LIFE + STYLE

Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.

Apply Acid and Scrub

Karin Kallmaker 12/23/2009 Cheers & Chocolate, LIFE + STYLE

So I look at my nice clean grout and am glad it was optional labor and I get to enjoy the fruits of my scrubbing every day.

Rampant Communityism in My Little Town

Karin Kallmaker 11/01/2009 LIFE + STYLE, Readers and Libraries

As a good library should, a few of the books I handled were sure to offend me, but I passed them right on; they belong in the library too. Our tiny library collection was actually dwarfed in the new space. Hmmm, maybe they’ll have room for more lesbian fiction titles, then!

Reality is Not Reality TV

Karin Kallmaker 09/14/2009 Craft of Writing, LIFE + STYLE, Readers and Libraries

Just because I have the passionate commitment about writing to put a story on the page doesn’t mean I have a right to the passionate commitment of others, let alone their money and time. I have to earn it and work to keep it.

Why the Y? Or, Good in Spite of the Bad and Ugly

Karin Kallmaker 03/16/2009 Events and Appearances, LIFE + STYLE, Readers and Libraries, Sisters of the Pen

That’s my favorite thing about birthdays as I get older — they can last all month if I work it right.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Women Who Know Who They Are
    Admiration for strong women in history was one of the reasons Faith Fitzgerald in Wild Things is a history prof and biography writer. Plus that's what she explained were her studies, so it's not like Karin had a real choice in the matter.

    A cast of characters who buzz in and out of each other's lives (and apartments) in the course of one busy night...
  • Reader Comments about In Every Port
    I love a book where the women are strong and commanding. It was a GREAT read and I couldn't put it down.
