Things I Read That I Love #116: We Should Seek Maximum Publicity and Maximum Debunking

Hello and welcome to the 116th 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 Julian Assange! 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…

Loretta Saunders Found Dead; Epidemic of Violence Against Canada’s Indigenous Women Continues

image

Communities across Canada gather every year on October 4th for “Sisters in Spirit” vigil, an event to commemorate the lives of missing and murdered Aboriginal women of Canada and to demand justice in the face of stubborn indifference from both government and police. This indifference appears despite a very clear pattern of racist-misogynist violence under which Indigenous women in Canada are five…

Trends This Butch Is Loving: Jogger Pants

image

If you’re masculine-of-center with a not-so-masculine body type, then you’re very aware that pants that fit and flatter do not come from the mens department. Yes, you and I know it all too well, friend. We’ve tasted our own tears in many a dressing room. We’ve learned to stop getting excited when our best friend’s ex’s cousin’s sister swears up and down that this one rare and expensive brand is a…

Fit for a Femme’s Guide to Spring Fashion: It’s All About Layers, Kittens

I don’t know about you, but this winter has me wondering if I’ll be able to drag my frostbitten native Californian limbs across the February finish line. Last night I foolishly looked up the length of flights from Boston to Bermuda. COME ON, PRETTY MAMA. Turns out that’s not a super gay-friendly locale. So, nope.

In much happier news we are so close to March and the first official day of spring,…

I found this question in my inbox:

I love bondage! I’m an experienced sub/switch, but my partner is pretty inexperienced in BDSM. She is much more interested in being the Domme/Master but doesn’t feel like she knows what to do or say. How can we start having fun BDSM sex that doesn’t feel like I’m in charge!? 

Hello my dear reader! This is a question that I get a lot, and most of the time I have…
