Thank you, Savannah, for pointing me towards that.

There’s something about the “it’s not transphobic, it’s a different opinion”* that reminds me a lot of the complaint of conservative Christians that their beliefs need to be respected and tolerated too…. that […]

I find this really troubling. I don’t know much at all about DGR… I think I’ve heard of them before. I’m in an environmental justice collective that positions itself as radical. I’ve only been involved in […]

ha! right. Her “now that I’m older I know better” attitude was pretty rich. At the wise old age of 23 she can shake her head and sigh of the follies of her younger self, back in the day, you know, when she was 22.

Hmmm, writing critique. I was thinking about some of the critiquing comments earlier, and of what I know of your writing, Kate, as I read every one of the “butch please” essays.

In my opinion, a real strength […]

Capricorn on the cusp with Sagittarius here. I dated four, count ‘em, four Taurii (sp?) almost nearly right in a row. Three of them had birthdays within two days of each other. In fact, two of them had the same […]

Savannah,

Thank you for this essay. I found it educational and interesting and I appreciated it.

I also learned a lot through the comments (well, some of the comments), and I was excited to learn!

I’m […]

What does wbw mean?

I was also a teenage synchronized swimmer! I swam for 9 years. My duet partner and best friend was a homeschooled conservative Christian, I was a public-schooled conservative Christian. We had a huge falling […]

off-topic, but, “why does the Dalai Lama visit Ithaca so often? Because it’s near Varna” hahaha.

Thank you for this article! I’m reading your blog now. I’m excited to learn more.

In the library
with the candlestick, please, please
take me, Miss Scarlet!

ha! just came to me.

I don’t need tickets, just want to share: Miss Scarlet from the old Clue movie. I watched it over and over and over again.

oooh, I had a crush on that blonde Austrian Nazi-lady. That scene, where he’s tied to a chair and she kisses him and pulls his lip out to there? *swoon* I’m always looking for a woman who can kiss me like that.

oh yes, another Legolas crusher right here! I thought my crush was on Orlando Bloom until I saw him in a non-elf role and felt “huh, well, hmmm”

you are probably right. That is what I tell people who freak out about spiders. I like spiders, and I like insects. Except for the house centipede (which I’ve always called thousand-leggers, I think it’s the […]

I was not sure where to write this… so many replies and replies of replies!…. but shitstorm, or not, I have to say, so many of these comments made me feel all the more at home on AS. Sometimes I feel to be […]

fail at posting the image. That’s ok, I don’t want to see it anyway. I call them thousand-leggers, they have so many legs, and their legs are long, and hinged, and if they made a noise it’d be like that noise in […]

Is this what you mean by centipede? I’ve known centipede to refer to different insects, and this particular *shudder* thing I call a thousand-legger. But if this is the kind of insect you are proficient and […]

I’m very concerned. I skipped reading the rest of the recap and went straight to skimming the comments needing to know if that story is true. Is it? If it is it’s like living inside a Poe story; I might be […]
