Black Canary Sings   Lance Laurel is attacked in the street and has his world turned upside down.

Catch-as-Cat Can

By Maid Joy

A thesis on metahuman abilities lands the author in trouble with the Green Lantern Corps. When thinking up a way to copy metahuman abilities can have a lot of long reaching consequences, who caves and who stands righteously?

Author’s Note: A Retroactive Continuity, or Retcon if you will, is the altering of previously known facts in order for the universe to conform to new story lines. This is mine. The first attempt to write in this universe, this is allied with Lilith Langtree’s series. This is a retcon of the story of Catwoman and her origins. Detective Comics owns the character of Catwoman, and Lilith owns the copyright to American Dream and Jade of the Green Lantern Corps. The pic credit is J. Scott Campbell.

Have I said how much I love Mom and Pastor Porter lately? There is no way I can say it enough. They have taken a relative stranger into their lives, and home. Most especially they make me feel welcome. They never seem to regret the decision because they took me into their hearts first. I feel closer to them that I have ever felt with any other human beings.

Sitting here, thinking about all of their love and care, everything they have done to help me, my eyes tear up and I get a huge lump in my throat.

I’ve had this photo up on my desktop as a wallpaper for quite some time, but I don’t know where it came from.

My friend, Karen Anne Summerfield, sent it to me in a batch at one point, but didn’t include any additional information.

A Beautiful Victorian Gown

I figure it is a part of some photoshoot someplace, and if ANYONE who reads this knows where it came from, if you would please comment and let me know? Pretty please?

I’d so love to have this. I know it’s heavy and it is not practical for much. It’s probably a mourning suit. But it looks lovely.

In other news, Chaz Bono is finally officially a man. Don’t read the comments unless you like being pissed off.

United ENDA is making a call to EVERY GBLT person out there who is unemployed. They want you to go to your Congressperson’s office with your resume and to apply for a job.

Full details here.

I’m out of work, I’m transgendered, and I want a job. Honestly? I want to do this. But I am afraid. I know I don’t pass when I’m dressed, and I don’t have many work-appropriate clothes. I could do it.

I want to do it. I am terribly scared.

I don’t want to talk myself out of it, but then it’s one of those things that could be so easily ignored.

So scared.

I’ve been dreaming and I came up with this uniform for me.

I was never a cheerleader when I was young, but I wanted to be. I’ve been looking around at a lot of places and just dreaming, and I decided to come up with a wishlist of my favorite pieces. If I ever get the money together I plan on getting this outfit. Total is $132.92, but the individual items are pretty reasonable.
