It's been a hot minute, huh?
I actually reset my commenter password to access my long-dormant account to say that this makes me sad and also add this bit of commentary.
@ThereIsNoFluffy: Aw, thanks, but if you can imagine I was also on-call for my day job all weekend, so I need a break to do just one for the next few days. :)
@fridaycat.: Oh, I keep popping up around here every few months. You never really leave.
@Ipomoea: I'm an associate editor at Talking Points Memo... and I post almost everything I write on the Twitter machine and Facebook.
@fridaycat.: I then hesitate to be the one to tell you... that I won't be back next week. But I'm sure Jessica has someone good in store!
@Uhuh. wants Miz.J back: Access is not the issue... Time in the day in the 2 weeks before the midterms when I work for a political site is more difficult to come by...
@Joie de Vivre: It's a cute cat, but I do believe my boss expects me in the morning...
@sublimelazy: Thanks! I have to say... I actually hold coffee until the gossip round-up is done as a reward.
@CollegeBookworm: Aw, that's sweet, but I have to get back to my day job!
@LucilleBluth: I think the problem might be the way you're defining it as a problem. Your body says one thing; your head and your heart say another. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, you just need to understand why you're trying to push yourself where you part of you clearly doesn't want to be right now, and go from there.

And the answer might be that you don't feel comfortable outside a committed relationship. Which can be annoying when you're horny, but it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.

A Few Final Thoughts On F*cking While Feminist

October 17, 2010 – The problem with trying to write about women's sexuality on the internet is that it is either pegged to one newsy event or it devolves into everyone taking one side or the other.

@eruantaliel: It might be important to note that Garland is actually a man.

Generally speaking, the vernacular "getting fucked" denotes the person being penetrated, and "fucking someone" often denotes the person doing the penetrating. What he's suggesting, in fact, is that submission is not whether one is being penetrated or doing the penetrating.

Does that help explain it?

Meghan McCain: Christine O’Donnell Lacks ‘Experience’ For Political Office

When Choosing Men, Avoid The Following Red Flags

October 17, 2010 – "I fuck while feminist by insisting that there is nothing submissive about getting fucked. Accepting the standard bullshit narrative of 'penetration as dominance' or 'penetration as corruption' is ridiculous and arbitrary." -Garland Grey [Tiger Beatdown, Image via Phillipe Leroyer]
