Some girls, two letters and The List.
I’m 20. I’m sitting in a car looking over a viewpoint on the West Side of Spokane. My high school best friend, one of many, is currently crying drunkenly.
“I hate you. I hate you so much!”
I am just trying to understand the strange turn that this relationship has taken in the last hour. We’ve been in this car forever, and the one thing I am ( Read more... ) -
I am the Gold Medalist in the Oppression Olympics...
I don’t talk about this much, but I am a member of an oppressed minority.
I am female, and even though we make up more than half of the country I live in, we are barely represented in most things of importance. Unless you count poverty and rape as vital experiences every human should have.
Come to think of it, I’m a lesbian, and being a lesbian ( Read more... ) -
Burlesque:
Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Boobs…
So, from pre-adolescence on, I was at war with my body. I ended high school as a 98 pound weakling. At nineteen, as a child bride, I had a child of my own.
Three months along, I finally realized I was pregnant after scarfing two chili-cheez dogs in 7-11 at 11 p.m. and then dry-heaving ( Read more... ) -
Takedown.
We on the Left, and especially on the Leftest Left - the Feminist Left - specialize in the takedown.
We overthink. We overanalyze. We tear down our allies for semantics, misspeakings and the errant unpopular opinion. It is one of the things that differentiates us from the Right. Their speciality is the whitewash. I think their tactic is more ( Read more... ) -

War On Druggies - Therapy.
It's called the C.A.R.E. Unit. We go there as a family twice a week. Once just to visit my brother, and once for a visit and family therapy. I like it because I get to see Jerry, and he seems very happy. I also like it because we get to eat at the hospital cafeteria and that's a break from me cooking for everyone. The hospital is in Spokane, ( Read more... ) -

The good, the bad and the ugly truth
So I think most people on here know that professionally, I deal with addict parents - that's my day job. And I love it with the fire of a thousand white-hot fiery things. I do. But I leave it at work and then I come home and read Victorian and Edwardian literature, play at Princess, dance around in my skivvies a lot and generally try to ( Read more... ) -

Drop dead exhausted. But thought I would post a bullet list and come back later to flesh it out. Flesh. Heh.
+ I burlesqued last night for the first time. schpahky, you were the Wind Beneath My Wings! Your entries on the process inspired me. I kept saying "I have to have a REASON to be disrobing, otherwise it's stripping, not burlesque..." Needless ( Read more... )
