Moonless Night by Louise Gluck
A lady weeps at a dark window: Must we say what it is? Can’t we simply say a personal matter? It’s early summer; next door the Lights are practising klezmer music. A good night: the clarinet is in tune. As for the lady— she’s going to wait forever; there’s no point in watching longer. After awhile, the streetlight goes out. But is waiting forever always the answer?...

Midnight
by Louise Gluck
(excerpt)
Speak to me, aching heart: what
Ridiculous errand are you inventing for yourself
Weeping in the dark garage
With your sack of garbage: it is not your job
To take out the garbage, it is your job
To empty the dishwasher. You are showing off
Again,
Exactly as you did in childhood—where
Is your sporting side, your famous
Ironic detachment?

joon is the loveliest writer and so sympatico i wish we had known one another back in my fashion writing days. when he recently introduced me to someone as a “politically feminine feminist” it was probably supposed to be descriptive, but i took it as a compliment.

warning: there are probably going to be a lot of posts in the near future (!!) that have to with time. also: jeanette winterson reminds me of college.

“But, as the legend goes, it was while reading How Sassy Changed My Life that our Editor-in-Chief decided once and for all to start an online magazine that could provide Sassy-esque community for lesbians and other weirdos without forsaking fun or feminist empowerment.”
sassy inspired us, we inspired autostraddle, and this entire interview is a third wave feminist/weirdo lovefest....

– this is one of the most compelling opening lines i have ever read and one of the most compelling reasons to get a bikini wax….ever. the rest of the piece is worth reading, too.

ha, totally!
in response to the feminist archiving post below sadydoyle says:
I maintain that the Feminist Tumblr Archives are going to be about as exciting and confusing as anything that has ever happened. Like, on certain days reading through the Feminist Tumblr Archives will be a lot like watching Courtney Love punch Kathleen Hanna in HD on a loop whilst Germaine Greer is having that...
