Mama has been busy on the social media networks this week!
The state of the Arts continues to be on my mind and apparently thoughts around D/s and that sweet butch of mine. Increasingly I am finding interesting people and posts on Twitter. The problem is that there is SO much. ...

After waiting and waiting the arts and culture community of BC has finally received the news everyone dreaded to hear. The cuts are coming, and the cuts are BIG. Here we are less than six months to the Olympics and the cultural fabric of the province is being ...

The Lee Harrington workshop is going well. Registrations are coming in and I think it is going to be a REALLY outstanding group of people who show up. There are still seats available. I'm hoping the all get snapped up by as many people from my home town as possible. ...

As I get older I see beauty in unexpected places. And the beauty I was already aware of takes on a different significance.
The meaning of time has shifted. And with it my perspective. This comes as a shock to me. What I know. What I think I know. Where I've ...

So much I could say about the week that has gone by... Really. And then I look at my tweets for a week. What caught my eye, what I had time to toss out to the world. And I think to myself... My mind is actually a lot like my ...

Spending time with my father makes it clear why I'm a CONSENSUAL dominant and watching him interact w/ females reminds me why I'm queer. #
Commercial entertainment, & porn go online to increase sustainability. Not the Tribe & community. Why? Does Fetlife help- Really? #
Black people, on average, are more likely ...

Last week there was a strong Olympic presence. This week it's all about being Black. Well... mostly.
On the queer front, I went to a screening of the pre-production, final cut of Aerlyn Weissman's film for Out on Screen the Portside. Good film. You should see it. Can I say how ...

The Olympics occurring in Vancouver next year have been on my mind a lot. Maybe because the frenetic pace of gearing up has been increasing at my work place.I link and link and link to stories.
Simultaneously, I see stories about movement forward in the sex-positive world. I link and link ...

Normally I write about my Culture of choice - Leather, kink, fetish.
But I'm also a member of the arts and culture community/industry. This week I attended the Vancouver Arts Summit as part of my employment. I sat there and all the content seemed to get replaced by Leather/Kink/Fetish. Issues of ...

There is something about being a black woman and being set on fire by white people. It feels really visceral. But I survived the lighting and subsequent jump into the pool at Desire. All in all it was a damned good weekend. I love the place. It's my permanent vacation ...

So much to do! It's good to be busy. It feeds me. And playing goes a long way towards lubricating the whole thing. I hope the weather stays nice and warm so that more days in the sprinkler can be had.

Another week. Same as others and yet one that comes with both bitter and sweet. Lots of time spent with friends and Tribe.
You know.... Now that Mayhem is over I can't seem to shake the urge to do, do, do... Really nice to go to an event that I had ...

So. The Mayhem is over and I am back to my real life. Somewhere in there, Twitter got it's act together so I'm starting to reach out that way too.
*sigh* how I missed the simplicity of 140 characters...
Next up: Diva's Den (a fundraiser for the Dyke March) and the annual ...

OK...
So I've been using Twitter since before it hit Hundredth Monkey-like popularity. My Facebook page had always used it to update my status and JUST before it hit, I started shipping my tweets to my LiveJournal page and here. I found some good apps to make all that work more ...

Let's see... Themes for the week:
Dying
Race
Both located in my sense of family and the way people should be treated. Why is it that the individual at the centre point is so often ignored? While the absolute focus doesn't need to be there, it is the touchstone. Conversations radiate out from ...

The week began with closing out the South Plains Master Slave conference. Glad I went. I got stories but most of them are around the culture of the place.
Have to say that I expected a higher level of... well... manners. Protocol. Something.There were incidents that distressed me. And I'd like ...
