why did you and marni break up? sorry for being nosy! i followed your old blog and now autostraddle and after a while you get weirdly invested in people!
oh, it’s ok! um, she broke up with me, but eventually i came to understand that breaking up was indeed the thing to do. i guess the answer would be long and complicated and not something i could truly excavate in a tumblr ask, but “something was missing” could be a short thing i could say about it.

It Appears I Have Joined A Masturbation Cult
Last Wednesday I walked into an event space in SoHo, sweaty, tired, a liiitle bit tipsy (perhaps explaining the sweaty fatigue), halfway expecting to run away screaming with my pants down. Literally.
I was at a TurnON event run by the people at OneTaste, who help people engage with their inner sexy and to be present, honest, and orgasmic in every corner of their life. They also teach people how…

How to Trick Everyone Into Thinking You’re a Celebrity at Brunch
I live in Los Angeles, the great Brunchland and home of the stars. The thing about LA is ANYONE CAN BE FAMOUS. Every time I walk to the bus, I’m convinced I’ve passed at least three famous people. There’s no way to know every celebrity so the trick isn’t actually becoming famous, it’s appearingto be famous. Here’s how I pull off false célébrité to ensure that when I go out to eat, I’m at the VERY…

I’ve learned a lot about myself at brunch. It’s that kinda space, y’know? It’s early morning and my thoughts are waking up and I’m caffeinated and drunk at the same time and the food is so good and then — to top it off — there’s awesome company.
