I didn’t like touch as an autistic person. I didn’t like touch as a post-abuse victim. I didn’t like touch as a sexual assault victim. Each of those three categories deal with different kinds of touch, but the aftermath is the same — touch makes me cringe. I don’t want it. I’m okay if it’s […]

I’ll be 30 this year. Can you believe it? I’m still occasionally asked if I’m old enough to throw trash away into the cardboard compactor at work. 😅 I take Solara shopping with me and earn the minimum of one double-take, like, She has a child?? I’ll get to turning 30 later, late March. I […]

To quote Avenue Beat, low-key fuck 2020. It’s been a long year. I published less than 50 posts this year, just barely 30,000 words, on the blog, and…I’m not even bothered. 2020 was comprised of nonstop hypothetical situations featuring a pre- and post-apocalyptic experience — and both, and the in-between, is the whole fucking year.

There’s a song called “U + Ur Hand” by Pink that I’ve sung this title to in my head a few times. The original lyrics are I’m not here for your entertainment [..] it’s just you and your hand tonight, but my rendition is I’m not here for your inspiration, it’s just you and yourself […]

There are a lot of unspoken rules about blogging, including when it comes to what you can supposedly blog about. Examples include: sex politics periods sex toys sex-positivity providing the youth with condoms alternatives to abstinence first world problems porn boudoir Cards Against Humanity what our lives are REALLY LIKE, behind the beautiful photos façade […]

Amish fiction is the kind of fiction I read when I want something wholesome, old and filled with drama and tropes. I haven’t read it in a while, because I realized I preferred the stories based on reality that are told in movie form, because of certain common Amish fiction tropes. 1. Christian fiction Christian […]

How do mermaids have sex? Asking for a friend. Girls’ Night In is one of the few newsletters I receive these days. It’s all about self-care, which is something I’m prioritizing during this pandemic. Sourdough everything bagels. My latest app obsession is Nooddle. All the recipes are theirs, carefully curated by their Spanish team and […]
