Playlist: Sunrise On The Mountain
I am a morning person. I’m writing this in the morning — not super early my time, 9:14. I’ve been awake a while, I have a cup of coffee and I’ve already read my newspaper back to front. But, my darlings, I live in New Jersey. When I’m waking up at 7 am here, that means I’m waking up at 4 am California time — 4 am on the mountain. If I were to translate the time I start writing, that’d be 6:14 am…

Greetings Lumberjanes!
If you’re reading this you’re probably not at A-Camp. Ho hum. But rather than wallow in our off-the-mountain sadness let’s gather ’round with some whiskey and and cupcakes and console the heck out of each other with this week’s posts and A+ comments. After all, Klub Deer is just a state of mind and (consensually) tying someone upis much more comfortable without the prying…

10 Weird Camping Gadgets That I Found On The Internet
Well weirdos, I’m at A-Camp right now. Which means I’m hoping that nothing big happened in the tech world this week because I am writing this post approximately one million years in advance. I’m doing this because when I go camping, especially A-Camping, I want to unplug and unwind. Turns out, though, there are some weird camping technologies out there in the world. Some of them sound cool and…

Playlist: Getting Ready for a Femme Meetup
For me, getting ready for a Femme Meetup, like the ones we have at camp, requires picking out an outfit, doing my hair, putting on makeup, staying hydrated (because it can take forever) and making sure everything is perfect. This is a time when I’m in total control. I’m in my own world, and it is a world of comfort, power, strength and confidence. Now, getting ready for a Femme Meetup might not…
Things I Read That I Love #128: His Favorite Place in LA These Days is Home Depot.
HELLO and welcome to the 128th installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays I’ve read recently so that you can read them too and we can all know more about Alex Trebek! This “column” is less feminist/queer focused than the rest of the site because when something is feminist/queer focused, I put it on the rest of the site. Here is…
Rhymes with Witches: Blair vs. Georgina, The Battle of the Bitchy Brunettes
I was definitely one of those kids that read the first book in the Gossip Girlseries in complete secrecy, away from the guise of my parents because I couldn’t help but blush from the mere fact that I was reading a dirty book. Well, what I considered a dirty book in those days. I was in sixth grade at this point (spoilers: I’m kinda young) and the most scandalous thing I’d done was stay up late on…
Bondage 101: How To Tie Up Someone’s Ankles
Tying people up is fun! Here’s how to restrain someone by the ankles.
Rope is the single best multi-purpose bondage toy you can own. You can make handcuffs, ankle cuffs, different types of gags, harnesses, straps for holding body parts in place during sex, the ankle wrap below and more. It seems intricate, and some of it is, but there’s also a ton of things you can do without knowing what…
Playlist: Former Disney Child Stars
Former Disney child stars! I love them. I love them so much that during A-Camp music trivia, we have an entire category dedicated to questions about their music. Historically, many teams perform poorly in this category. Would you? Do you know which former Disney child star wrote the lyric, “If the light is off then it isn’t on”? If you just shouted OMG HILARY DUFF at your screen, you should…
36 Reasons Why QPOC-Only Spaces Are Very Necessary
Dear Beautiful Kittens from the Heavens,
We’ve got some things to talk about, especially since we all want to have transformative and uplifting experiences at A-Camp. At this very moment in my life, my 4th A-Camp is happening! This time though a very major event is going to be very different, like so different it’ll probably make some people uncomfortable. Discomfort can be a really good thing.…
Sober in the City: Surviving Pride Without Liquor
Feature Image via The New York Times
In a previous post, I talked a bit about my experience with redefining my queerness in sobriety. Changing my relationship with Pride was one of the first and hardest things I had to do as a sober queer. I currently have five years of sobriety and I plan on celebrating Pride in New York City dancing, singing, marching, and rejoicing all things LGBTQ… and doing…
Custom Suits, Kipper Clothiers, and Other Things That Are Worth Investing In
Team Pick:I have never been more excited about a clothing company than I am about Kipper Clothiers, a one-stop custom suit shop for the LGBT Community. The Kipper team is really providing an amazing service to the lesbian, trans, and otherwise inclined folk who don’t have a prayer in the world for any suit options that will actually fit us properly.
This is my first time that I’ll be investing…
Let’s Talk About Sexting: A Roundtable
Sexting can be a great way to flirt, build communication in a low-pressure environment, talk about sex when you might not be able to otherwise, stay close in your long-distance relationship and, obviously, get someone off. Everyone is sexting more than ever.
In a discussion of sexting as a whole different form of sex — rather than a poor imitation of it — Sand Avidar-Walzer writes:
“The…
