Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

    Over a decade has passed since the first gasps of online feminist porn. Now, there are several well-established and explicitly feminist porn production companies, and quite a few start-ups (whose performers and producers feature strongly in the book). Feminist porn is no longer a debatable reality; it has become a matter of discussing how it will be organized, and who will get paid, and for doing what.

    Questions of labor, rightly, now come before stakes-free grandstanding about the meaning of a facial cum shot. Why were we so hung up on what’s on a model’s face and how it got there, rather than what’s in her contract and how she negotiated it?

    “Who speaks for women who work in the adult industry?” - Melissa Gira Grant

    I have a lot to chime in regarding these issues, but I’m on deadline. In very brief, to be expanded upon later: Thank you so much for this, Melissa. <3
