Sunday ep 411.
I’m I am sorry for the delay folks. I was in Iraq, fighting for my country. Plausible? Not really. Well, neither is Alice dating Tasha. I just can’t get down with their match. It feels forced and unrealistic, especially when Alice shows up all uppity, high femme and pissed off at the military [...]

Sunday ep 407.
I’m sorry to say that if I were Bette I would run from Jodi like a bat out of hell. That woman has too many disclaimers. First, she says she doesn’t like children and then she admits that the minute she gets monogamous with someone she gets bored. As a mom who just [...]

Sunday ep 406.
I have to say that my favorite part of episode 406 is when poor James (the secretary) is simply telling Bette that she has a phone call and her response is “Fuck you James. Just fuck you!” This guy has followed her from one job to the next and sucks up all of [...]

This past week’s episode began with a disgruntled Jenny standing outside of Stacey’s Merkin’s apartment, yelling her name. What are the writers of this show trying to do to this poor character? First they have her cutting her legs up with razor blades and now she is crazily stalking the [...]

Sunday Jan, 13 2007. ep 402.
As I am typing this, my cat Sebastian is drinking water out of a Starbucks mug. Why haven’t there been any more cats on the L Word? Since Mr. Pittles there have been no new cats which I think is very depressing. These lesbians need cats to make their lives [...]

Sunday Jan, 8 2007. ep 401.
The opening episode of Season Four was certainly not a disappointment. The train has got back on the track after derailing for a few minutes there at the end of Season Three, scaring the living daylights out of us die hard fans about the fate of the characters. Bette was [...]

Cris Williamson: The Changer

photos and text by Angela Jimenez
It was January, 2006. Legendary musician Cris Williamson was onstage with her band at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, humbly beaming in the glow of a warm standing ovation by a crowd of women who just cried, laughed and sang along to her performance of The [...]

Jan 8th 2007, New York, NY. Some mark the seasons by a change in the weather, but thanks to greenhouse gasses, it felt like summer here new york even though we are in the dead of winter.
For lesbians everywhere, however, we know what season it really is. Thats right, its the 3 months of ranting, [...]
