London Bridge Is

We had met before, of course, but we didn’t really know each other until she fell off a three-story building. This was in London, the first time I was away from my parents, my obligations. That she survived at all is a testament to her stubbornness. She was wasted; we all were. It was the [...]

You Call It

He puts on a pair of shorts after you’ve made love, grabbing at the piles of clothes in the dark by his bed until he finds something suitable to cover his nakedness. That’s not what you call it, of course, making love. You call it what it is: an affair. Still, you resent him for [...]

Check that shit out. Limericks bring people together! In my lesbian column, I compared friendship to the run-off of a chalupa. [...]

I guess that’s my shtick though, so I should embrace my role as a “social media mistress.” Curiously enough, or rather not at all, [...]

Affirmative Acting

This is fiction, but just barely. I wrote it 8 years ago when I was trying to figure out how to reconcile being multiracial but looking white and having all that white privilege crap to deal with.
