badd: blog against disablism day

Synchronicity swirling around me again, I am having the Week of Addressing Disabilities. My supervisor recruited me to speak about the clinic at a middle school for a diversity workshop they held yesterday. I decided to integrate some talk about myself too, and it worked beautifully. I was able to start with my arm and [...]

april, rain(n)

it’s nearly the end of april
rain keeps calling: dig deep,
go within, and rediscover
that serpent coiled and sleeping
too soundly, a knot
at the base of my spine.
it’s got me on a kick
painting in binary code
blasting tori, screaming
all off key and laughing
(the names of our daughters
are pins in a map
to find this:
who are we now?
motherswomen)
where is my sex, [...]

let me take a lesbian moment

…and tell you who is so smoking hot. Tina Fey is. And Gillian Anderson, zOMG she is in Maxim* and it is So. Damn. Yummy. And so is Maggie and Olivia Wilde and Jewel Staite and Brooke Wassername from Idol. These are my current girl crushes, just so we’re current. And Alyson Hannigan, you know, [...]

yoni!

One more burst of sexual energy for the Sexography GBBMCMMCGVBVC… whatever campaign :p I spent some of my birthday money on a frame for the new piece, and after the printing costs I’m going to donate what’s left to RAINN. It’s not a lot but it adds up. Throw in a few bucks with me? [...]

my toy is a top, pun in 10 did

The sexiness is just growing over the cute little mommy blog like rampant ivy or kudzu now. It’s unsettling me- who reads this that I don’t know reads this? But on the tails of that thought: is it really surprising or shocking to read that an adult woman has had sex and masturbates? (And then, [...]

the primal scream

I tell this story because even though it isn’t mine to tell, I inherited it. I carry it for her like a flame she handed to me. It’s a hateful story but the sharing of it is loving and beautiful. Silence is what is ugly. Speaking truths is never anything but an act of love [...]

frighteningly arbitrary definitions of terrorism, via Salon

Salon has a great in-depth article about Briana Waters, an environmental activist, violin teacher, and mom who is accused of domestic terrorism after an informant named her as a lookout at an ELF (Earth Liberation Front) act of arson ten years ago at a lab where they thought genetic research was being done.
The article includes references to [...]

bothersome ideas about ppd

OK. I read on Hathor about this bill wherein the US government is apparently going to grant doctors the ability to practically, if not literally, force new mothers to take SSRIs if they “fail” a mandatory PPD screening. Well, yes, as this is clearly a disgusting travesty of Big Brother Evil, I got all ready [...]
