The Quiet Work of Change
As it did for many, Tuesday night brought me relief.
There was no violence at the polls. No manufactured crisis, no false flags used to justify emergency powers or the suspension of the midterm elections. Around the world, crowds celebrated in Australia, Canada, and Europe.
Here at home, the celebration feels more muted. There is cautious optimism, but also anxiety about the next two months. So much damage can still be done.
Still, I am heartened by the number of people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Tired of the chaos, the cruelty, the endless noise.
I am tired of greed being celebrated as a virtue. Tired of lies and gaslighting, of fake faces and manufactured personalities. Tired of algorithms that feed me only what I already believe, protecting me from uncomfortable facts and different ways of seeing the world.
I am tired of how easily we hate one another simply because we disagree. Tired of entitlement, of the relentless insistence on *me first*. Tired of a world where kindness is mistaken for weakness and cruelty for strength.
Perhaps exhaustion itself is the beginning of change. We rarely change while the familiar still feels comfortable, even when that familiarity is hurting us. We hold on to old beliefs, old grievances, old ways of being, sometimes long after they have stopped serving us. Individually and collectively, we can endure an astonishing amount before we finally say, *enough*.
We are not the same people we were two years ago, and the country is not the same. Life continues to move beneath the surface of our daily routines, even when we cannot see it. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, we shed old ways of thinking and being that no longer serve us.
Beneath the old skin, new patterns emerge, new colors, a brightness we could not have imagined while we were still wrapped in what we had outgrown. We know what we do not want, but do we know what we want? Cruelty must still be confronted, crimes investigated, and those responsible held accountable under the law. Justice is not revenge, and compassion does not require us to abandon common sense.
We may be unified on much, but we are not uniform. Maine democrats, California democrats and Texas democrats will have different opinions and perspectives on many issues as we move forward. All voices need to be heard, ideas need to be debated. Democracy is messy, there is no assurance that any decision is the best one, and the history of democracy history is littered with missteps and failures as well as soaring moments of humanity at its best. It is messy and slow, but it is better than the alternatives.
Perhaps what changes is our willingness to listen, to question our own certainties, to recognize that people can disagree with us without becoming our enemies. We cannot build coalitions if we demand agreement on every issue. We must learn to stand alongside people whose beliefs differ from ours, finding common ground without surrendering our own convictions.
We don't have to agree on everything to stand together for something.
Life often asks us to hold two seemingly opposing truths in our hands. Our brains don't much like that. It is uncomfortable. We prefer clear lines, heroes and villains, right and wrong. Certainty is reassuring, even when it blinds us to what we would rather not see.
Yet life is rarely so obliging. We can believe in justice and still have compassion. We can stand firmly in our convictions while remaining open to the possibility that we have something to learn. We can recognize the humanity of someone without agreeing with their beliefs or excusing their behaviour.
Perhaps our way forward lies along that thin edge between seemingly opposing truths, where we learn to live with complexity rather than retreat into certainty. At the same time, not every disagreement has a middle ground, and not every claim deserves equal weight.
Can we remain steadfast in what matters without becoming rigid in how we see the world?
We can become more open without becoming less discerning. More compassionate without becoming less courageous.
Two years ago, we had hope, but little optimism. And there is a difference. Hope is what endures when there seems to be nothing left to be optimistic about. It is the quiet refusal to surrender our belief that something better is possible.
Optimism asks us to see evidence that things can improve. Hope asks us to keep going even when we cannot.
Today, for the first time in a long while, we have both.

WOMEN WHO LIFTED THE BAR
Don't Mess With Texas Women
A new generation of Texas women is making its voice heard, and they come from a formidable pedigree. Texas has a long history of producing women with sharp minds, sharper tongues, enormous courage, and very little patience for being told to sit down and behave themselves.
From Ann Richards and Molly Ivins to Barbara Jordan and Jasmine Crockett, there is a wonderful thread connecting these women: an understanding of the power of language, humor, and a well-placed verbal kick in the pants. Some wielded words with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel, others with the force of a Texas tornado. Others organized, challenged the law, or simply refused to accept the limits the world placed upon them.
Different generations, different battles, but the same stubborn refusal to be silenced.
Here are eight Texas women who remind us that a woman's voice can be a formidable thing.
**1. Ann Richards (1933–2006)**
The silver-haired, sharp-tongued governor of Texas who could deliver a political insult with a smile sweeter than pecan pie. She famously said of George H. W. Bush, "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." Richards opened doors for women and minorities in government and made political wit an art form.
**2. Molly Ivins (1944–2007)**
Six feet of Texas sass, intelligence, and wicked humor. A journalist who skewered political hypocrisy and foolishness regardless of who was responsible. Molly understood that laughter could puncture the pomposity of powerful men faster than a thousand earnest speeches. She made political journalism both an act of resistance and a source of enormous entertainment.
**3. Barbara Jordan (1936–1996)**
A voice that could stop a room in its tracks. The first Black woman elected to Congress from the South, Jordan brought extraordinary dignity, intelligence, and moral authority to American politics. During the Watergate hearings, her defense of the Constitution became one of the defining speeches of the era. She didn't need to shout. When Barbara Jordan spoke, people listened.
**4. Jasmine Crockett (1981–)**
A civil rights attorney turned congresswoman who has brought a distinctly modern Texas attitude to Washington. Known for her rapid-fire responses, sharp questioning, and willingness to confront political opponents head-on, Crockett belongs to a new generation of women who have little patience for being talked over or told to know their place.
**5. Sissy Farenthold (1926–2021)**
A feminist political pioneer who took on corruption in Texas politics when the good old boys practically owned the place. She helped establish the National Women's Political Caucus, fought for women's political representation, and pursued human rights around the world. She understood that if women wanted a seat at the table, sometimes they had to bring their own chairs.
**6. Emma Tenayuca (1916–1999)**
A Mexican American labor organizer who helped lead thousands of pecan shellers in a 1938 San Antonio strike. She challenged powerful business interests and fought for workers whose poverty and exploitation were largely invisible to the comfortable classes. Her weapon wasn't political office or newspaper columns. It was the courage to organize people who had been taught they were powerless.
**7. Bessie Coleman (1892–1926)**
Born in Texas, Coleman became the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license. When American flight schools refused to teach her because she was Black and a woman, she learned French and went to France. Then she returned home and flew circles around the prejudices of her day. Literally. Sometimes the best answer to someone telling you that you cannot do something is to take to the skies.
**8. Sarah Weddington (1945–2021)**
A young Texas lawyer who, at just 26, first argued *Roe v. Wade* before the Supreme Court, winning the landmark decision at 27. She went on to serve in the Texas legislature and continued advocating for women's rights throughout her life. At an age when many young lawyers were still finding their feet, Weddington was arguing one of the most consequential cases in American legal history.
Eight women. Eight different lives. Some spoke with humor, some with quiet authority, and some with the thunder of righteous indignation. They didn't always agree, and they didn't all fight the same battles. But they shared a refusal to accept that the world had already decided what women could say, do, or become.
And perhaps that is their greatest legacy. They remind us that courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it comes armed with a sharp tongue, a good argument, an organizing committee, or an airplane.
**Don't mess with Texas women. Especially the ones who have something to say.**

Satin & Soul: Beautiful Women, Hot Jazz, and a Little Good Trouble!
There is something about a beautiful woman playing the saxophone that makes a lesbian's heart leap to life. And when that woman is Pamela Williams, “The Saxtress,” well, we may need to loosen our collars.
On Saturday, November 14, Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs will be heating up with Satin & Soul, an evening of smooth jazz, blues, soul, and some seriously talented women who know how to make music get under your skin.
Pamela Williams is no ordinary saxophonist. She has toured with Patti LaBelle and Teena Marie, worked with some of the biggest names in music, and built an extraordinary career in a field long dominated by men. Her playing slips between silky seduction and full-bodied funk. She doesn't just play the saxophone. She makes it breathe, ache, flirt, and occasionally behave very badly.
And then there's Sweet Baby J’ai. Lord have mercy.
If you haven't stood in a crowd when Sweet Baby J’ai launches into Meet Me with Your Black Drawers On, there is a small but significant hole in your life experience. This woman can take a room full of respectable grown-ups and have them hollering, laughing, swaying their hips, and forgetting every promise they made to behave themselves.
A powerhouse of jazz, blues, poetry, and pure human electricity, Sweet Baby J’ai has spent decades breaking musical boundaries. A U.S. Jazz Ambassador, she is also the founder and artistic force behind the Sunset Music & Education Foundation. She doesn't simply entertain an audience. She reaches into it, stirs something loose, and sends everyone home a little more alive.
And just when you think things couldn't get hotter, Laurie Morvan joins the Women in Jazz All-Stars. This blues-rock powerhouse can make a guitar cry, growl, and testify, sometimes all in the same breath. With musical director Sunnie Paxson bringing it all together, this promises to be one delicious evening of music.
There will be two bars, a dance floor, and a room full of grown folks who know that getting older doesn't mean we've forgotten how to have a good time. Quite the opposite. We've had years to perfect it.
Best of all, the evening benefits the Sunset Music & Education Foundation, whose SMARTS Initiative provides young people with musical instruments, mentorship, scholarships, and opportunities to discover their own creative voices.
So gather your friends, put on something fabulous, and come ready to groove. A little satin, a lot of soul, and just enough trouble to make the evening memorable.
Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 7 PM

Special Issue: Sinister Wisdom's On Our Backs Issue
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
From 1984 to 2006, lesbians and gender expansive readers across the US had access to a community-produced erotica magazine that was unlike anything ever produced before: On Our Backs. The magazine's name is a satirical play on the title of the radical feminist magazine Off Our Backs, which began publishing in 1970 and was was seen by many, particularly during the so-called "sex wars" that began in the 1970s and continued into the 1990s, as being prudish and anti-pornography. On Our Backs was stridently sex-positive and sought to demonstrate and explore how lesbian and dyke sexuality shows up, in words and images. Read More

Samantha Bee wants to talk about menopause. She actually doesn’t want to, but she must. In How To Survive Menopause, Bee comically shares everything she has learned through the process in an intimate one-woman show, because everyone needs that best friend who will keep it real for them. Like, really real. This is a show for anyone who is going through it, has gone through it, will be going through it, or knows someone currently going through it…basically the entire population

BAD DOG
February 26 - March 13, 2027 at The Bent
written and directed by Jennifer Hoppe-House
After years of being clean and sober, Molly Drexler drives her Prius through the house, leaving a sedan-sized hole in the wall that serves as a metaphor for what can no longer be ignored. When her beleaguered wife gets her home from the hospital, Molly’s far-flung and riotous family are descending for an intervention, and as the events of her blackout emerge, her family tries to cope with her wreckage, and in the process, runs headlong into their own. This is BAD DOG. The Bent is proud to present the west coast premiere of this powerful story wrapped in barbed wire.

Entertainment - This Week's Recommendation
If you have never seen this, it is well worth your time.
Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins
Netflix | Documentary | 2019
If you like your women outspoken, irreverent, wickedly funny, and utterly unwilling to suffer fools, meet Molly Ivins.
Six feet tall, with a Texas drawl and a tongue sharp enough to slice through political nonsense, Molly Ivins was a journalist who made a career of holding the powerful accountable, preferably while making the rest of us laugh ourselves silly.
Raise Hell is a lively, funny, and surprisingly moving documentary about a woman who challenged the good old boys, took on political corruption, and believed fiercely in freedom of speech and the importance of a free press. Democrats and Republicans alike could find themselves on the receiving end of her wit.
But behind the larger-than-life personality was a complicated woman who struggled with alcoholism, battled breast cancer, and never entirely escaped the expectations of the world she was born into.
What makes this documentary such a pleasure is Molly herself. Her humor was outrageous, her intelligence formidable, and her refusal to be intimidated downright refreshing. She understood something we sometimes forget: laughter can be a powerful weapon against arrogance and abuse of power.
Molly died in 2007, but watching her today, you cannot help wondering what she would have to say about the current state of American politics. Whatever it was, it would probably be unprintable, devastatingly accurate, and hilarious.
A wonderful reminder that women who refuse to behave have a long and glorious history.
