Serving Smart Lesbian Commentary Since 2010
From my very first Epochalips post in June 2010: “This is the day I’ve been waiting for. This is the day I’ve been working toward. This day is the culmination of all I’ve ever done, said, thought, dreamed of, hoped for and planned. It is here, it is real, and it is mine now. It’s […]
Monica Palacios: A Lesbian Packing Primer
Packing for a trip is painful. It’s equivalent to shopping for bras—you gotta do it, there’s a lot of huffing and puffing and eventually your nipples get pinched—and not in a good way. It takes me all day to pack. I put stuff in my suitcase then I take stuff out. I try on clothes […]
Films Give Us Hope in a Chaotic World
In 1944 war raged across Europe. Turmoil reigned throughout the world and America lived in fear and sorrow as the stories of ethnic cleansing and city destruction became our newspaper headlines. I start with this as my prelude to answering the question “Why support women and lesbians creating films when our world is in such […]
Lesbian Dating: 3 Ways to Deal With Rejection
Q. My problem with dating is that I don’t know how to end it.  Last time I went out with someone, I knew after the first date that I wasn’t attracted to her…but she acted so interested and I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so I went out with her for several weeks. We […]

My Top Seven Do’s & Don’ts for Dating Women
After divorcing, jumping the fence, and dating for a while, I began wondering why most of the people I went out with disappeared after the first date. I started reading self-help books, where I learned about something called emotional sobriety. This meant I needed to create healthy boundaries and rules for myself around dating. One […]
The Lost Art of a Lesbian Painter
Every once in a while a documentary comes along that is so splendid and breathtaking that it is hard to even explain the impact it has on one. I felt that way when I watched Finding Vivian Maier for the first time and the many times I came back to it. Now comes Susan Anderson’s […]
Lesbian Dating: Two Goals of a First Date
After months of obsessing, Sally had finally scheduled her first date.  She was interested in someone on a dating website, “chatted†a few times online, and set up a lunch meeting.  I was impressed with her enthusiasm…but then  she started thinking out loud. Sally’s date-to-be lived near a lake, and  Sally had a boat.  “Maybe […]
Don’t Miss BETTY in Berkeley on March 23rd!
Think about a Pride weekend from years past, back to a time when you colored your hair for fun and not to cover the gray. Chances are the band BETTY was on stage. Or when you subscribed to Showtime so you could watch “The L Word.†Every week you heard BETTY. Been to the Michigan […]
Falling In Love for the 2nd (or 3rd) Time
The woman in my office was in tears.  She’d just had a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration with someone she’d been seeing for the past year.  They had talked about the thrill of finding each other, the joy in their intimate connection, the excitement about sharing their lives.  It sounded just like being in love.  So […]
