I’ve written a few how-to posts that would work, like how to switch from friend to lover in the bathroom.

Also, subcultures: softball dykes, social work/rape crisis hotline dykes, hippie grrls, closeted cops, women’s studies academic dykes, carpenter dykes, Joey-has-2-mommies-a-daddy-and-daddy’s-boyfriend dykes….

Womyn-born women v. oppression theory debate (see Michigan).

Maybe we could get a grant to do this?

An enthusiastic discussion of why The L Word is not the only conceivable portrayal of lesbian culture.

Toasters? U-Hauls? I think I need this book. Someone should write it.

this is the book i needed when i first came out too – i still say things like “I’m such a BAD lesbian!” whenever the cultural literacy things come up.

the toaster joke. singer-songwriters who ARE gay and who only SEEM gay (i.e. melissa v. patty griffin). where to buy fashionable clothing for the slightly butch dyke who is sometimes girly. the indigo girls: emily vs. amy and how you can tell their songs apart. why some lesbians think it’s a Big Deal when other lesbians date bisexual women. important u.s. places in lesbiandom: ptown, northampton, san francisco. people lesbians claim even though they never did come out (i.e. jodie foster).

if we come up with more, i’ll come back and post more. :)
