When I was ten my dad traded an old yellow car whose passenger door was held shut with a bungee cord for a years worth of babysitting. The recipient of the car, and our babysitter for the next year, was a rather well known local character. He was a hardworking politician who had been, he… Continue reading Alaskans I have loved, v2

about hate
This is a picture of the sign my bigoted neighbors in PA put in their yard when they realised that me and my girlfriend were moving out and the neighborhood children were safe from the sinful proximity of lesbians. We snuck into their yard and took this picture on our way out of town. From… Continue reading about hate
Harvest Moontime
Harvest moon. Cramps. Can’t sleep. That about sums it up. It’s six in the morning, the moon is huge and orange, and I’m crouching in the front seat of the van watching Bro sleep on the bed. I take Ginger and Cranberry Bark tinctures for my owie tummy, and it helps but I’m still wide… Continue reading Harvest Moontime
It's come to that, has it?
It’s been a long night because Bro got into the grease from the washed out frying pan, originally from the caribou, and it gave him diahrrea all night. So every couple hours all night long I’ve gotten up, walked him out to some grass, and waited while he shat. Now it’s morning and it’s eleven,… Continue reading It's come to that, has it?
birthday love
I was talking to my mom today and my birthday came up. It’s in a few days. She told me that even if I’m not around, she always has a nice dinner in celebration. After all, it was a pretty big day for her too. On my mom’s birthday, she baked a lemon lavendar cake… Continue reading birthday love
Have I mentioned how much I hate this culture?
A DEFENDANT accused of forcing a prostitute at gunpoint to have sex with him and three other men got lucky, so to speak, last week. A Philadelphia judge dropped all sex and assault charges at his preliminary hearing. Municipal Judge Teresa Carr Deni instead held the defendant on the bizarre charge of armed robbery for… Continue reading Have I mentioned how much I hate this culture?
A little strip club parable.
I didn’t go to the conference. Instead I stayed here and danced and had a great time and ate way too much candy at the halloween party. I also saw a favorite old customer and did a ton of dances for him, and met a really sweet and sexy new guy and did a ton… Continue reading A little strip club parable.
Another Interview With My Mom
So once you got settled in The Village you went out to smaller villages for school. Tell me about your first experience in a smaller village? Okay, this is a good tale. The first village that I was scheduled to go to was very small, population way below fifty, with no road access. I contacted… Continue reading Another Interview With My Mom
The Warmth of Ice
I got up at six this morning, which is when I’m usually going to bed. Bro still doesn’t believe that we’re getting up this early, so there’s no morning snuggles. His water has been frozen for days, but I still try to pour it before I remember and go for the jug under the seat,… Continue reading The Warmth of Ice
I try to volunteer, but end up getting paid.
I pulled into my mom’s driveway last night and tried to go straight to sleep. But sleep at 10pm just doesn’t happen for me. I woke up at six in the morning. It was cold. Really cold. All my water froze solid all the way through. I started the van and let it warm up… Continue reading I try to volunteer, but end up getting paid.
