Hello Ryder,
First I want to give appreciation for your blog, it is interesting, artful, intriguing, and very well done, thank you. Second in my exploration of your awesome site I noticed a post from 8.6.09 with a Hebrew phrase. As I was reading the comments one of the folks translated it as “This is my penance.” While this is correct, Hebrew words tend to have more than one meaning and the word “qafarti” can also be translated as “my heresy,” making the phrase mean “This is my heresy.” In traditional Jewish circles, generally meaning the Orthodox, strap-ons and any sort of strap-on sex would be considered taboo and would be frowned upon.
I lived in Israel for sometime and the message of this type of graffiti is probably speaking out against the puritanical sexual ethic found in Israel and the religious right who hold a monopoly on Jewish religious practice there. I believe the artist was playing with both meanings of the word but would identify as an ardent liberal and is most likely wishing for a more sex positive society. I am emailing you because I do not know how to post on your blog but I think that posting both translations of the phrase makes for even more interesting reading.
Again, thank you for your blog and the openness and positive nature with which you approach sex. I look forward to reading many more posts!

The Runaways
On day two of my revisiting all the things that brought me inspiration and joy this year, I have to mention what I think to be one of the best films of the year. Performance wise, this movie has three that are reasons enough to watch and love it. Dakota Fanning is the stand out, just as you’ve heard. She transcends her child actor background and embodies Cherie Currie completely. At the film’s climax she drains any happiness from her eyes and fills them with pain and eventually drugged emptiness. From an actor of her age and experience, it’s an impressive feat. Kristen Stewart makes one of her first great steps towards breaking out of her association to the Twilight franchise with her total, full body transformation into Joan Jett. It was a very tricky role for her to take on, Jett is an important figure to many people. Yet she rises to the challenge with seeming ease, taking on all the idiosyncrasies that make Joan Jett who she is that, in the end, she became almost a replica of her. Another extremely note-worthy performance in the movie is Michael Shannon as the legendary Kim Fowley, a part that he plays as pitch perfect as only he can. Directed by Floria Sigismondi, it has editing and script problems, but where its strengths lie are in the visuals of it. Floria is known best for her work in music videos and that helps her in portraying the importance of the music to the lives of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie over every thing else.
