Then there were two

To steal an expression from The Bloggess, here’s the shit I did when I wasn’t here this week: On AfterEllen, I taught a young dyke how to be a slut, the respectful way. I also answered a question about how to go from “creepy eye contact” to love. Check it here. At Mother Jones, I [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! Today is when we celebrate our devotion to partially hydrogenated corn syrup and our hopefully still functioning livers. And love!

I’m not here to make friends
Feb 10th, 2010

If you search for “Denny’s” in Chicago, my name comes up. This post serves to further increase my online connection to the oft-visited diner of my youth (and by “youth” I mean, existence). The link is to ye olde Centerstage column, Meet Market Maven, where I’m pretty sure I mention Denny’s. I’m too lazy to [...]

Got some link love on the Chicago Sun-Times today for my former dating column: Things to do in Chicago when it’s snowing… # Reading. The Chicago Reader’s annual fiction issue is online for your pleasure. For more inspiration, check out Jonathan Messinger’s Books of 2009, or locally based sites like Bookslut and PopMatters. # Sex.

A dating site called Beautiful People, where current members rate your attractiveness to determine whether you’re allowed to join, recently purged 5,000 members for supposedly gaining weight over the holidays. “Every year we see that some of our members from Western cultures eat and drink to excess over the holidays, and clearly their looks suffer,” [...]
