Materia Medica: Poplar

Last year I was driving north through Canada, disappointed that I’d missed poplar budding season in Alaska, when I pulled over in the mountains and found a whole stand of baby poplar trees by a little stream that were just starting to bud. I spent two or three hours there picking the buds, sliding into… Continue reading Materia Medica: Poplar

Craziest link to me ever

This has to be the craziest link to me ever. She’s some kinda serious patriarchal monothiest, and she’s writing a post explaining that “wanking is bad.” As evidence of this she quotes what I said about masturbation a while back and then explains that masturbation is bad because condoms lead to casual sex.

The first time I clicked, she had great stuff about polar bears and Alaska and salmon.… Continue reading I didn't even like comics…

It’s noon and I have to get up, even though I just got here and fell asleep in the driveway a few hours ago. Healer heard my alarm going… Continue reading The Whore Diaries

Forever Dancing

“I think that’s the number one most valuable life skill, running,” I say as I flop down on her bed. She’s a stripper from the rain forest who came to Alaska to get away from an abusive man, but now she wants to go back. I’m proud of her for running at all. So many… Continue reading Forever Dancing

Pictures Of The Last Few Days

(Ahem. Ladies and Gentlemen who may be at work at, say, a Catholic school or something: there follow some pictures of breasts, among other things. You may not want to scroll down until you go home or otherwise free yourself of such strict wage slavery.) Look, it’s like bunk beds: Dinner for two: Cross reference… Continue reading Pictures Of The Last Few Days
