The Answer.

“We are the ones who will hear,” said Phouchg, “the answer to the great question of Life….!” “The Universe…!” said Loonquawl. “And Everything…!” “Shhh,” said Loonquawl with a slight gesture. “I think Deep Thought is preparing to speak!” There was a moment’s expectant pause while panels slowly came to life on the front of the…

Left unsaid.

I have had a fucking crazy past month or so. And despite my usual puking all over the place about pretty much everything that happens, I’ve been oddly reluctant to post. There are several reasons for this.   First and foremost? I was reluctant to talk about some situations while I was still embroiled in…

Defiance.

Is it a sense of security, of home, or money? A job, a career even, a lucrative one? A cozy place to live, a comfortable relationship?   What keeps you were you are? What’s your personal “Magic Feather…” the thing(s) without which you KNOW certainly wouldn’t be able to fly?   Anchoring and groundedness are…

Salt.

I wrote about you again, btw I know. I see! Do you now? Well, yes, and this is me trying not to do the sad puppy eager for approval thing. I feel pathetic enough as it is There is no reason to feel ashamed of desiring positive acknowledgement from me. I was going to comment earlier but…

The trust game.

“I know you have many things to focus on, and that is allright. But I do not want you to lose focus on what we are working on.”   “Sometimes…most of the time, I guess, I’m OK. But. That whole ‘Don’t make someone a priority when you are just an option’ thing is gnawing at…

A death in the Leather Family.

The San Francisco Eagle Tavern’s been around for 30 years. And it seems tonight was its last night. Why? Standard SF bullshit.  Gentrification. More bars-restaurants-condos-coffee-shops and pricey boutiques, fewer queer-kinky- funky-arty affordable places to be. I find this trend kind of depressing. SF is a cool and wonderful city but I feel that moments such…

I see what you did there.

I suppose I should know better...but why fight it when relinquishing control is so delicious?

I hate it when someone says “We have to talk.”   It doesn’t matter what comes after that. My hamsterbrain jumps right onto that Wheel of Misfortune and starts furiously scrambling. This is a reflex I have had for as long as I can remember. And it doesn’t fucking matter who says it or what…

To the Attendees of IMsL 2011: Thank You For Making A Difference.

This is a quick note to give a heartfelt hearty THANK YOU to the friends family and folks in the audience tonight at International Ms Leather. It was a very scary decision for me to share my story and to ask for others to stand or raise a hand with me as survivors. And the remaining people…

Consent [Violated].

I have a hard-on for the NCSF. If you don’t know about the national Coalition for Sexual Freedom, educate yourself. If you’re kinky, you REALLY have no business not knowing and supporting them. As the only organization dedicated to helping protect us pervs, an at-risk sexual minority, from prosecution, from discrimination, shit…from OURSELVES? We need…
