Welcome, first post
I can feel the pain and rage and loss condensing in my chest.
I would not be the queer woman I am today had I not read "When It Changed" in a small town in Idaho during the late 1960s (I never remember the exact date, I was 13 or 14).
I have been walking carefully since I first read of her entry into a hospice yesterday, because I'm afraid of what might happen if I let go.
But I'm not alone. We're not alone. And I started thinking about re-reading Russ' work, and posting about it, and then I thought--a community because I'm not alone.
So I started this community.
I am mourning, we all are, but I also want to celebrate her life and works.
