You’ve read her stories on Kuma2.net and in the Best Lesbian Erotica series. Now, D. Alexandria (aka Glitter, Pandora) has put together a sizzling anthology of her own work: This Is How We Do It: a Raw mix of lesbian erotica.
Mark you calendars – it’s going to be a long, hot (and wet) summer.
The Our Favorite Links section is moving to become part of the Kuma2.net blog. Many of the links in the original database were no longer in existence. Instead of trying to fix it–we will be moving all of the still-current links and adding new websites to our blogroll page. Links are organized into categories–with special emphasis placed on links belonging to previous Kuma2.net contributors.

Columbia College Chicago – Sweet Tea
About The Performance
Based on E. Patrick Johnson’s critically acclaimed book, Sweet Tea is an oral history of Southern black gay men ranging in age from 19 to 93 that explores the relationship between blackness, sexuality and southern culture.
I saw a snippet of the show at Fire & Ink: Cotillion–and it was nothing short of fantastic. Having interviewed the men he portrays, Johnson seemed to disappear into each character.
If the performance comes to your town, you don’t want to miss it.
A Persistent Desire is a feature length documentary film that celebrates and affirms butch and femme identities and dynamics in the 21st century. In this clip, author Jewelle Gomez describes her take on the butch/femme dynamic (clip opens in a new window):

The Talk: Women of Color On Sex is an exploration of how self-identified women across the Diaspora came to learn about sex and what it meant to have a sexual relationship. Did your mom, aunty or tia sit you down? Were your homegirls or hermanas responsible for giving you the blow by blow? Was Cinemax After Dark, Youtube or a telenovela your sex ed instructor?
Super Hussy Media seeks fresh and daring writers who can coax the reader into an intimate understanding of not only how they learned about sex, but how that knowledge impacted their sexual exploration. We want submissions that are funny, sad, enraging, and transformational.
The Talk is ultimately about our testimonies regarding how we were taught or chose to learn about our sexuality. How we are continuing to learn, lessons we wish we could share with other women of Color, introspective activities of reflection. This is all about us.
Deadline: July 1, 2010
