Diana is goddess of the hunt, of right relationship with instinct, of young women and wildness and freedom.

Beltane is coming up in 2 weeks. This is one of my very favorite holidays, marking the beginning of summer and the most outward, fertile period of growth. In pre-patriarchal Europe, celebrations included an emphasis on dancing and sex as a way to honor the earth goddess and her abundance.

vulvan desserts. Oh sweet ever-loving goddess! I will give a badge, a gold-star and a giant fist pump to whoever brings me one of these treats!

THEY FOUND A GAY SKELETON!

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:28:00 -0400

THEY FOUND A GAY SKELETON!:

Archeologists found a male skeleton buried in the traditional way that is standard for females in their long lost community. Tara and Caitlin are OBSESSED with the gay skeleton.

It is a little bizarre to label a long dead gay skeleton’s sexuality, but it is clear that aside from his male body his culture respected his(her/hir) life in a traditional female role. Cultures throughout history have been more understanding of gender fluidity and queer people, this ‘gay’ skeleton is just one example. If you have questions about past societies and matriarchal cultures feel free to drop in and talk to Tara.

A woman’s connection to her monthly cycle is complex and different for everyone. This sexual health video pokes fun at our current period culture. One thing Tara and Caitlin agree on is that this video made us want a PMS posse. Because remember: maybe you are not experiencing PMS that “makes you bitchy”, MAYBE your PMS allows you to cut through the BS in your life and take a stand you normally would avoid. Perhaps PMS can aid in emotional growth!

“Rebel Girl, Rebel Girl, Rebel Girl you are the queen of my world…” Ever noticed that a lot of times the sexiest, bravest, most radical queer art comes from places you wouldn’t expect? Like the south?! Sometimes the best thing ever is when you have to create the fun, create the art, create the politics yourself, cuz no one else is gonna do it for you.

I feel like tumblr is the new Heresies. Everytime I come on this thing all I see is posts and reposts of women and girls - art/thoughts/dissent/excitement. A conversation about culture and desire. It good to critique what you see around you. It’s good to remember the old days.

pay attention to the news, friends. And listen up for the words “TITLE 10.” That’s code for “federal funding for women’s health programming” —- cuz if it gets cut, do you know who that affects? A WHOLE lot of young women, women without insurance, and low income families.

Speaking of loving your hair…does it get any better than Willow Smith?!?! This girl knows how it’s DONE.

YES, GIRL. WERQ.

In Labrys, you can get badges for any of the following: have a gay-looking hairstyle (like Tara’s), reject/get mad at the hair industry, make new choices about your hair, love your hair exactly how it is…and of course all this includes (Dun-Dun-Dun) body hair.

The whole hair industry EXISTS because we women are so concerned with our hair that, unless you are one of the fortunate few, we spend our whole lives criticizing what we’ve got. I know I do. I wish I had hair like Caitlin’s long luxurious locks…except that I DO like how GAY my hair is. Yeah. My hair is pretty eff-in gay. Actually…my hair is AWESOME. Love yourself for who you are, sisters. Love yourself for who you are.

How MUCH do you love your hair? Give it a dollar amount. It turns out that American are so obsessed with hair, that they spend MILLIONS of dollars on products and styling. We ask you, sisters…is it worth it?

the bechdel movie test

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:25:37 -0500

In our never ending quest to revive feminism, we are reaching back to the distant lesbian past…all the way back to Dykes To Watch Out For (a really smart, witty comic about lesbian life and culture). In that comic, author Alison Bechdel points out how dude-oriented almost all movies are. One character has a rule that she will only see movies that fit this criteria:

1. It has to have at least two women in it

2. Who talk to each other

3. About something besides a man

….so far, only 4 movies in 2011 fit this criteria. If you want to know what they are, check out the website: http://bechdeltest.com/

Alright. You’ve read the rules of the Bechdel test. (If...

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:18:13 -0500

Alright. You’ve read the rules of the Bechdel test. (If you didn’t, you’re going to be totally lost right now). But the basics are: it’s hard to find a movie with more than one girl, and even harder to find a movie where the girls don’t JUST talk about guys. And usually….when you find those movies. Guys won’t watch them. To which I say, fuck the patriarchy. Also, there’s some awesome movies that pass the test, like Whip It.

Can you think of any? If so, add the trailers!

You know what’s really gay? Using power tools. Way before Jennifer Beals made her Lez reputation in the L Word (as Bette), she captivated the hearts of dykes everywhere with her superhot WELDING skills in Flashdance. I mean…the dancing is amazing, but the WELDING..that’s just hot.

PS…i don’t know if we’ve mentioned our new badge system. but. you can get a badge for using power tools. YEEEEEE-AH.

Right! So… knowing when and how to say no, or yes, or I need you to to treat me with respect…all that takes effort and practice and it’s hard and scary sometimes because WHAT IF THE PERSON YOU LOVE IS A JERK?!! So, for the times when you stand up for yourself, when you say what you need, when you stick to your guns, we award the “Boundaries” badge.

A new cycle has begun at THE ATTIC, and we’re back to working on our Tumblr! This is video of revolutionary lesbian poet Stacy Ann Chin. She gets Labrys Badges (Tara & Caitlin’s new award system) for being unafraid to talk about the stuff girls aren’t supposed to say out loud. Like being a survivor of sexual assault, what it was like to get her first period. PLUS SHE’S FUNNY!!! Thanks to Nettles for sharing this one with us!

OMGOMGOMG. This is one of tara and caitlin’s favorite things on the internet!! MAN TIMES. If you’ve ever heard us talking about “lady times” this is the inspiration. Caitlin says that poking fun at typical heterosexual masculinity is a good dissertation topic. So if you are in high school, keep this in mind. Ten years from now it could really help you. assuming the internet still exists.

OMG…what happens if youtube goes away?
