A man says it looks like almost all the women don’t need men for sex anymore and he’s probably right. Also: embracing sluthood, sex advice from Etsy vendors, the morning-after-you-were-awesome kit,…

Sometimes it seems as if we don’t know how to separate someone’s excitement from someone’s arrogance, to differentiate between being conceited and being proud: we want everyone to be on their best behavior, even if that behavior goes against the other person’s real spirit. In a way, we expect artists like Kanye to keep it real by concealing their reality, editing it so it’s acceptable for public consumption. And though he seems apologetic for his missteps in the past, the overwhelming tone of Kanye’s Twitter feed is celebratory: he’s being himself, and still figuring out who that self is, and he’s having fun doing it.
Why are you so freaking cute? And where does the name “grrreen” come from w/r/t your twitter account?
in which we discuss, probably for the last time, the evolution of my name a/i/p/t my internet life:
my very first screen name was ‘green.with.indie,’ which was a terribly clever take on the phrase 'green with envy’ DO YOU GET IT. my eyes are green. i was boasting my love of indie music. DO YOU SEE HOW DEEP AND REAL AND INTERESTING I WAS.
fellow internet users in my small internet circle decided to drop 'with indie’ and just refer to me as 'green.’
I WAS A COLOR.
then twitter happened and being the EARLY ADOPTER that i was (not anymore b/c i’m old, as i may’ve mentioned), i thought i’d just snatch up 'green’ with little to no fanfare. WELL. i don’t know if you’re aware, but 'green’ the 'color’ is pretty widely known. also there was a new thing happening called 'going green’ or any variation of that phrase, making the 'color’ and 'word’ 'green’ even MORE of a household name/feeling, etc.
SO, even though i was fast, a gentleman by the name of 'nick’ was FASTER (also taller), and 'green’ the twitter 'name’ was taken. THWARTED but not deterred, i dug deeper into my seemingly bottomless well of clever genre + eye color references and decided on 'grrreen’. this, of course, is a nod to riot grrrl, which has 3 Rs, no more no less.

Maybe you already got this question.. but, when did you go to Interlochen as a writing major? I was there as a writer a year ago, and loved it with all of my heart.
i graduated from interlochen as a writing major in 1999 after being there for two years.
i’m going to a reunion in october. i’m scared because i’ve never been as happy as i was then, i’ve never felt like i felt during my last year at interlochen since that year and i don’t know if i ever will, and i’m afraid once i get there and see everybody and go fishing with delp that i won’t be able to leave, that i might lie down by the lake forever, or become it, or that a friendly ghost might slap me in the face
maybe i made autostraddle so that something would feel like the dorms after sign-in, with our books and feelings
