Welcome to the L-Word online!
We use this space to share some of what we put in the paper plus things that we find out about too late to get them in. It's updated at least monthly, sometime close to the beginning of the month. And sometimes in between when we find out about something exciting, so check back.
We've got a local calendar and archives of Kulture Klatch, Ruth's Review, and Montanna's spirituality column, and local resources. If there's something you'd like to see here please contact us! We are always looking for info to share.

Anti-Racism resources
Thank you to all the folks who are working to learn about, resist, and change the racism this country was built on. We honor the best part of the history of this country, the ideals that helped create it, by remaking it to include, support, and respect all of us. Here are a few suggestions for reading and organizations to support from Maggie of Humboldt SINGS, and a longer list that includes more organizations, videos, and books that we got from the Arcata Library. There's a lot out there, explore!
