Be Butch.
Hi friends, I’m thinking of doing a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign to raise money to fund some ButchOnTap stuff.

Hi all. I’m headed to surgery bright and early this morning. So early, in fact, that it’s dark outside. The thought is they will rebuild my Bicep and clean up my rotator cuff or labrum (which sounds dirty every time I say it). I’m butch enough to admit some trepidation. Hell, I’ll even call it … Read more
(Notice the clever, but oh-so-subtle use of “Holidays” instead of any particular December religiously-identified festivity.) Alright, so you just realized that your daughter is a butch. Or you have finally realized that your mom, who you always knew was a lesbian, is a butch. Maybe your co-worker or boss is a butch and you want … Read more
As promised in my last post, I am going to share some things about the whole getting married process. Here goes. The first wedding-y thing that She and I did was go to a bridal bazaar. Fun, right? Yes, you are probably imaging right now that I signed us up gleefully and dragged her to … Read more
