AN ISSUE OF EQUALITY Many Women Still Live & Die Unequal Lives of Anonymity September finds us each year staring into the Autumnal Equinox. This day, with equal parts light and dark happens once every solar tour. And that equanimity is almost as rarely reflected in the social expectations and stereotyped roles attributed to men and women. There are arguments on both sides about who has it worse, men or women. There’s even disagreement among some about what a man or a woman is

On December 5, 2025 I filled out an online application/questionnaire for membership in National Writers Union on the NWU website. On December 6, 2025 I was accepted and subsequently paid $486.95 for both my National and International credentials entitling me to membership through January of 2028. This is the first time I have joined a writers union, but it is not the first time I have been a member of a labor union. Nor does it mark the beginning of my professional work as a

AN INVASIVE ISSUE It’s not a matter of setting boundaries… Lots of people talk about the importance of setting boundaries. It’s part of healthy self-care. But setting boundaries isn’t always easy and sometimes others don’t respect them no matter how clear you are about setting them. Sometimes boundaries are invaded and we are called upon to defend ourselves. This is never a comfortable situation. When others are invasive into our personal and private space it can lead to feel

AN AMERICAN ISSUE The Fondue of American Life In French the word “fondue” literally means “melted”. American culture is most definitely a melted mix of all the cheeses of the world — stinky, stringy, creamy, dense, salty, moldy, sour, pungent and how ever else you may find them. Once a person comes to America bringing the influences and background of their culture of origin, those ingredients get thrown in the melted mix and become part of American culture. Because of this i

A STACKED ISSUE Playing The Hand You’re Dealt There comes a time in life when you just have to accept what is and move forward, when you just have to suck it up and play the hand you’ve been dealt. In this issue I explore what has been the hardest work I have ever undertaken and begin to introduce it to my readers. You are going to see images I created as self portraits and used to create a deck of Oracle Cards. It is a rare opportunity to look at me through my eyes instead

I just learned of Megger's new money making scheme selling her clothes on a site called OneOff...sounds very very very similar to 1UV? No? I'm an ACTUAL garment maker/designer. This is not the first time this woman has co-opted my work for her personal financial gain. Miss Markle, I am publicly demanding you cease and desist your rampant Intellectual Property theft from me. What is your problem? First it was the photos from my publication "D Review". Then it was my cook book

OF NOTE MAY 2026 A REAL MOTHER OF AN ISSUE Romulus Won And so May rolls around again…starting with May Day and rolling on to Mother's Day. May 1st, May Day, the traditional European Pagan spring festival, Beltane, is the internationally recognized day to celebrate Laborers. It’s interesting how the ultimate manifestation of feminine iconography, labor — giving birth, is construed into a recognition of anyone who does manual work. Then a couple weeks later Hallmark says we sho

In 1UV MONTHLY Issue 27, March 2026 I published an article in the CREATIVE POLITICS (international) column titled: REAL ESTATE AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION: my conversation with Mr. Stuart Shankle of Sotheby’s International Real Estate in Carmel, CA To learn how to access the entire issue click here . The article was about my conversation with a native California man, Stuart Shankle, who closed his family legacy real estate office to join Sotheby's in Carmel, CA. Mr. Shankle sai

These are two of my ancestors who I feel a close kinship to. I was prevented from having a singing career so that the industry could steal my original works. I have written a lot about this. I'm not special. Many artists are abused and even killed so billionair celebrities can keep their life style. I have also performed stand-up, improv theater and dance/performance Art AND have had the experience of being wrongfully detained and drugged against my will by law enforcement. T

OMG...I got ahead of myself and thought we were already in the House of Gemini....NOT YET. Aries! House of War.

OF NOTE APRIL 2026 AN ISSUE OF TASTE It Might Mot Be For Everyone... As Christians open the month of April with Holy Week and the holiday that defines the Christian Faith, Easter, I honor the mixed bag of emotions that comes with the challenging history of the Faith and it’s spread across the Globe. But just as I acknowledge the often cruel and unjust actions by early missionaries and even some modern Christians, I also acknowledge that such cruelties are not unique to Christ
