via time: “King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”

We know that women’s stories are devalued in this society. That our work is often looked at in this “emotional” way that can be very dismissive. Or it’s marketed to other women in this other horrible demeaning way. Authentic queer women’s stories are just so rarely published in this country and if they are, then they’re on these tiny presses that don’t have a lot of support with publicity, distribution, getting reviews, etc. I think that our illnesses as a country: racism, sexism, homophobia, greed— are directly mirrored in the publishing industry in this country. Look at what is in an airport bookstore. Thank God for small presses and the work that they do.

Get Ready For And Dream About A-Camp With Robin At Picnic Day In LA

  • Who: YOU! and Robin
  • What: A-Camp Picnic Day in LA!
  • When: Sunday, September 8th; optional easy hike at 11:45am, picnic at 12-3pm
  • Where: Griffith Park (picnic at Old Zoo, optional hike to Bee Rock)
  • Extra Info: Bring your own food and drinks, and bring a water bottle if you plan to hike!
  • This event is for everyone: first time A-Campers who might be a bit shy or anxious and want to ease their nerves, veteran A-Campers who want to hang out with their buds, wannabe A-Campers who can't make it in October and need to be cheered up about that tragic fact, and and and I've-Never-Heard-Of-A-Campers who are wondering what the heck this "camp" thing is all about. Every single one of you reading this in the LA area should go to this event, is what I'm saying. I would go but it's kind of a pain to fly from the East Coast just for the afternoon, ya know? But don't worry, Robin will take great care of you.
