– danah boyd (via Kellan Elliott-McCrea, via Buzz Andersen) — Also, to add: the quality of time/attention spent matters, and directly correlates to how established is our intimacy, e.g., if I love you, I can take a lot more of you whipping out your Blackberry. But not on our second date.
Not accomplished today: getting up before noon, having to write video show pilot alone, borrowing cute measuring cups, download of Buffy s2.

"Sadder Than A Whore on Christmas"
Matisse, writing for The Stranger: “Okay,” I thought to myself, “if I have to be gone soon, I am going to have to take control of this fuck.” I stripped down to my tarty black lace lingerie and stockings, got his pants around his knees, and started unrolling a condom onto his dick with my mouth. He moaned and leaned back on the couch—and then we both gasped and jumped as...

Accolades in the extreme to Kyle Machulis, for bringing sex hacking to ETech. Last Spring, Sexerati hosted a “Sex Hacks” event, poking a bit of fun at MAKE: & O’Reilly for having a bit of reluctance around sex (see: the most recent issue of MAKE:, with a HOWTO on The Aphrodite Project’s sex worker platforms, where we couldn’t mention “sex work.”) Of...
Why did you get into stripping, Diablo Cody?
DIABLO CODY: Blogging led me to stripping. I was at a point where I didn’t have much to say on my blog. So I stripped for one night, and it was supposed to be a fun thing to do. But I wrote about it, and people responded right away. It got me to thinking, this could be good for the blog. (Hmm. Via Feministe, & thanks, Trixie.)

I started writing The Book in 1999, when I was living in the Dodge Mahal, an ill-maintained college house so named because it was on Dodge Street in Iowa City. The Dodge Mahal was so squalidly kept that there was an overturned full-size Christmas tree in the living room. In May. I remember writing the first paragraph of The Book (which has now been so heavily edited that it bears little...
