FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Severance in 2015

When Megan Went Away is a 1979 children's picture book written by Jane Severance
(pictured) and illustrated by Tea Schook. The book, featuring lesbian parents,
was the first picture book to include any LGBT characters. Published by Lollipop
Power, an American independent press, the book depicts a child named Shannon
dealing with the separation of her mother and her mother's partner, Megan. As a
lesbian working in a feminist bookstore in Denver in her early twenties,
Severance sought to rectify the lack of picture book content for children with
lesbian parents in her community. When Megan Went Away was not widely
distributed upon publication, although the text of the story was republished by
the magazine Ms. in 1986 under the pen name R. Minta Day. The work proved
divisive among critics. Some praised the story for being an anti-sexist example
of lesbian life. Others found its depiction of same-sex separation poorly timed,
arriving at a moment when lesbian motherhood was on the rise. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Azurite is a soft, deep-blue mineral produced by the weathering of copper-ore
deposits. It is a basic carbonate with the chemical formula Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, and
has been known since ancient times, being mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Natural
History under the Greek name kuanos and the Latin name caeruleum. These azurite
crystals, covering a 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm (1.57 in × 1.18 in × 0.79 in)
matrix with a little malachite, was found in a lode in La Sal, Utah. This
photograph was focus-stacked from 55 separate images.
