Live-Blogging My Reading of The 25 Funniest Autocorrects of 2012
Possibly the best thing about the end of a year is the best-of lists. I am particularly fond of autocorrect lists, because something about the frustration of the texters and the bemusement of the recipients never ceases to amuse me. And this one is pretty good, methinks. I’m going to read it and blog my…

Womp-Womp (that’s the sad trombone sound)
At least I THINK that’s the sad trombone sound, which I think is the word for the sound I’m making in my head. You know, the sound that happens when someone in a cartoon or cheesy sitcom says or does something really dumb or gets disappointed in some hilarious way? The thing about the internet,…

Men’s Health is Unhealthy for Everyone
At first I responded a little huffily to this article on Jezebel, which takes to task the (ostensibly female) writer of a Men’s Health piece called “11 Qualities of the Perfect Woman.” In it, Lindy West rants about how the article is one more insidious way for women to feel bad about themselves and while…

PMS is a Real Bitch
It took me almost thirty years to admit that PMS is a thing. I’m two months and a day from the big 3-0, and I’ve only in the past two years or so become ever-so-slowly aware of what a crazy person I turn into the week before my period. I never wanted to fall into…

Professional Naked Girl-ism
A really, really interesting article in Vice magazine about being a Professional Naked Girl by the esteemed Molly Crabapple. I did this kind of work for a while, myself, but have never found the right place to write about it from. This might be wonderful inspiration for me, and many others who did this kind…

Quick n Dirty Post from Paradise
Ok y’all, I’m in Florida. (Catch that “y’all”? I’m in the SOUTH.) It’s like 80-something degrees here, and sunny. And I’m on a balmy back porch drinking coffee and working on my graphic novel and keeping up with e-mails (kinda). But I’m not gonna blog at length, because, frealz. I’m in Paradise. But you should…

Ohmigosh Comments Sections Aren’t All Horrible!
Sooooo I wrote this article for xoJane and it published on Friday. It’s incredibly personal. I’m terrified of anyone I actually know reading it. It’s about how my work in the porn industry helped me discover myself sexually. And it’s a short article (for me, anyway)–I had to cut it down to about 1600 words…

The Internet Loves Me! NPH + Muppets!
And I love it. We are in love. And we are going to have red-headed cyber babies. Because it put together my favorite stuff. Look at this. LOOK AT THIS! This has NPH. And his partner, Michael. And their babies (well, not really, but it’s implied). And FREAKING MUPPETS. And singing. This just… Aaaah squee!…

Not to Toot My Own Horn, But…
Motherfuckin’ toot, y’all. I am not at liberty to say what’s afoot, but it could be massive. As such, I’m devoting my energies to trying to finish this article for xoJane and blogging about unrelated stuff instead of obsessing over my possible-maybe-really-huge-news. So, y’all remember the Patraeus sex “scandal” that was sooooo fascinating until we…

Husk
Rub your spine against me To scrape off the old skin. Press a thumb to the underside of the Square corner of my jaw. Remind me what life is And where the throbbing stars lie in the heavens. Each vertebra you grind into my knuckles Is a wish for later years. A whistle…
