For almost 50 hours each week people across the nation invite television characters into their homes, consuming stories about everything from a zombie infested American South to the staff of a small town Parks and Recreations department. Television is the new American oral tradition. It tells our stories, reflects and shapes our lives. Television has … Continue reading
This is the latest piece in the Reclaiming Cunt series; read more here I want to rant about something. So there’s this guy. Someone I consider a good friend of mine.

How do 20-something men view the all-powerful “C” word? And, by “C” word, I, of course, mean cunt. Cuntacular. Cuntastic. Cunterful. Cuntnomenal. You’re right. The last one was a stretch Continue reading
Can you feel the love, my Missives? Yeah you can, it’s been a week and that can only mean one thing. It’s time for a little tongue kissing. Every week I like to touch base with you to speak briefly about something I truly love. This week’s love fest may seem a bit odd for … Continue reading
