(Content Warning: Oh gods Emotions and THERAPY AGAIN?????!!!) I heard about the death of a friend and my hands began to grieve. I could feel him under my hands, the sensations, the curves in his spine. In 2020 I got really familiar with the heaviness of grief. It felt as if I was weighted to … Read More
I often do not write very encouragingly about men on this blog, it’s a place to vent and frankly I don’t think any woman gets to forty without ending up needing to vent about men. Maybe lesbians if there’s a real place to live in some kind of utopia like a low-budget version of The … Read More
(Content Warning: Oh such a ramble, the grammar isn’t great either). I got so perfectly what I want out of a LARP that I really hadn’t expected it from over the weekend that I immediately sat down to try and work out my desires and commonalities, because of course I did. One of my most … Read More
I don’t think I have ever loved and admired a celebrity (she is kinda) in such a full body way than I have Annie Sprinkle.

(Content Warning: Discusses Dementia) “Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.” This week I recited poetry with an old guy that I work with. He’s been sharp as anything ever since. This is the old guy who occaisionally thinks I’m his daughter. Which, … Read More
(Content Warning: I am going to be frank about how I managed my reactions upon being confronted by an unexpected assault in a LARP, my having been raped, being queer as a teen in the nineties – don’t read if you’re not up for it) Why am I writing this? Mostly to get it out … Read More
(Content Warning: This is one hell of a waffly self-indulgent ramble) Someone pointed out that the way I used the word ‘intimacy’ the other day was not really reflective of what I actually think intimacy is.
