All activism is comprised of a diversity of tactics because the movement is composed of people who possess a diversity of skills, talents, experiences, enthusiasms, and challenges to offer any movement as a whole. To speak of human rights activism as though there were one top secret bunker where a Stalinist army were meeting to carry out orders from a central commander is operating under a fallacy. There is no bunker. There is no commander. There are people coming together in their own contexts to respond to the issues that they are experiencing as the most pressing to the best…

As something of a pinko commie queer, I tend to be cautious with sex toy reviews. On one hand, I get excited when packages show up in the mail and I love having a reason to romp and play sexy times. On the other hand, do we need all this crap? Does the world really need more batteries and shitty plastic and pieces of crap sex toys that break in a week and get manufactured as eco insensitive bullshit? HOWEVER, primates are a tool making species. I use all kinds of tools and we’re all out looking for the most…

When I was little, I was fascinated by the horror movie section and the video rental place in my hometown. I wasn’t allowed to watch those movies and their forbidden nature beckoned me. I read the covers of every horror film in my reach while appropriate videos were selected for me. This has been a serendipitous asset during trivia games because while I may not have seen all of these movies I have bizarre facts about them tucked away in my brain because the mind is a strange and wonderful place with bizarre data hoarding patterns.

I remember the first time I shaved my pubes. I was a teenager and I slid up on a counter and looked my boyfriend dead in the eyes to show my bare pussy.

He adored it and even I ran my fingers and palm over my own flesh amazed at its sleekness. Of course I never thought twice about shaving my armpits. At the first sign…

What happened to cyberpunk? This is the question on the tongues of anyone a little disappointed with the way our future of now is being handled. Where are the flying cars? When is someone going to give me and my … Continue reading →

Sex is almost always on the ballot in CA, whether it’s the state voting that same sex marriages are illegitimate in the eyes of the law multiple times or putting in new “sex offender” restrictions that always seem to fail victims … Continue reading →

“What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.” -Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C. My lover and … Continue reading →

I am not the sum of the facts I have accumulated over my life but I am someone who compulsively accumulates facts. Molasses is my favorite coffee sweetener. If I’m not careful, I start to feel envious for the tiny … Continue reading →

One of my favorite scientists is Richard Feynman. I’m a HUGE fan. His work in physics was an vital stepping stone in our understanding of particle behavior but his process of working and the personality he brought is what continues … Continue reading →

Karl Marx wrote in Capital that capitalists are basically fetishists, worshipping mystical powers that workers impart to the goods they create (sounds like Prada to me). Before latex, fetishists had made do with what they had—fur, silk, and tight-laced corsets. That was … Continue reading →
