what disables me

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I’ve been thinking more about what disables me.  My community member friend wrote a long, helpful comment on that recent post.  He said the issue isn’t really capitalism. deeper Yes, I agree–there’s something deeper than capitalism itself that disables me.  It drives the dysfunction that’s hurting me and in… Read More »

how I’m a slut

I was telling my friend how sluts are the best.  She did something she felt slutty about, and she thought that might be a bad thing.  My opinions started to sound like a blog post.  This is about how I’m a slut and what’s so great about us. Slut is what a woman is called… Read More »

what love is

Hello, how are you doing?  I wrote a poem a few years ago about what love is.  I printed it on pink cardstock and drew some little doodles, four poems to a page, and cut the page into fourths for pink postcards.  It was my Valentine, about three and a half years ago. I used… Read More »
