readers, apologies that my blog has become all "my...
Tell me your break-up pain remedies, please. Silly, sad, cheap, fancy, emotionally grounded or totally escapist, stuff that makes you sob & stuff that stops your crying — I’m not picky, and I’m willing to try a lot of different things. I’m trying to strike a balance between FEEL ALL THE FEELINGS!!! and giving myself enough breathing room from my emotions to, like, sleep...

if we live to see the other side of this / i will...
A. broke up with me tonight. I saw it coming — these last few weeks have been really, really rough — but I’m still a bit in shock, and deeply heartbroken. I fell so fucking hard for him. I’m still very much in love. It is going to take me a long time to get over this. :( Right now, I just want him back in my life as my boyfriend. But I know that’s not happening....

Tobi Hill-Meyer: It is Not Transphobic to Treat... →
tobitastic:
I have recently been hearing about multiple instances of trans men and occasionally others condemning certain women’s spaces — spaces that include and are co-organized by trans women — as transphobic and even campaigning against them because they don’t include trans men. What the fuck, guys?

my first anthology lammy!
I’m late to the game announcing this, but I’m very pleased that “Take Me There: Trans & Genderqueer Erotica” won a Lambda Literary Award. I’m honored that my story “Cocksure” opens the anthology (!!!), and esp. touched that I am included amongst friends & heroes like Tobi Hill-Meyer, Rachel Katharine Zall, Toni Amato, Julia Serano, and many others....

how life is.
1. I finally, finally, FINALLY got that Monster Arts Grant Application in today. Abundant thanks to everyone who helped me out, esp. Marlene for offering such helpful edits/feedback, and Sierra for letting me use his printer & office space while I’m staying in New York. All of it was life-saving (or, well, at least grant-saving!), for serious. 2. After I got zee app in, I was finally...

SHIT I CAN'T MAKE UP: Convo between my 7year-old...
(Names have been altered slightly, just in case.)
Josie: I have a new crusshhhhh
Matt: Me too! On a boy!
Pearl: You're a boy with a crush on a boy?
Matt: Yeah he's really cute.
Pearl: Oh.
(pause for a bit)
Matt: Boys can like boys. I just can't marry him because boys can't marry boys.
Me: Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
Matt: Really?
Josie: YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
Matt: Okay. Then maybe I'll marry him.
Dave: (from across the room) No you can't you're seven.
(Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage. I almost cried out of happiness. Later, when I was asked if boys could kiss anyone they wanted, I replied "only if they want to kiss you back." And Josie responded "Yeah! Your body your life.")
My students are the shit.

Just want to signal boost this further.
Kink.com has built a reputation for being an ethical porn site who puts the models first and is great to work for. Many a battle against pornography, particularly BDSM pornography, has been fought and won because of their model policies,...

Today's To-Do list
1. Go to The Haight to get my Fluevogs stretched so I have good walking shoes for my upcoming trip. 2. Work on my Big Deal Grant Proposal at a cafe while they’re being finessed. Multi-tasking is hella more awesome when it involves pretty shoes & coffee, y’all.

maxineholloway:
This past month a severe pay cut was given to the women who work at KinkLive.com. They needed to save money and they did it by taking it from the models. Instead of staying quiet and taking what they were willing to give us for our work - we united, stood up for ourselves and are taking…
