Aiden and I moved into this apartment in May. Every few weeks it feels more like our place, and less like a storage unit where we happen to have a bed. The first round of bookshelves went in, and the collections were combined. The kitchen was organized in a way we could both find and [...]
Our bodies have profound wisdom. This skin suit we have is so full of information, capacity, knowledge… it picks up things we could never hear, never see. It understands things our conscious mind is never aware of. I am blessed by my body, blessed for my body. And yet, how often have I not listened? [...]
Those words keep echoing in my head tonight. “I consent to the journey.” Today I interviewed Mollena, Dan and dawn for my podcast. The conversation topic was consent, and the journey rambled from place to place, story to story, feeling to word to deed. It was funny and sad and delicious… as it needed to [...]
So, I’m having this adventure… called Programming. I used to produce an event called BodyBound in the NW, a 3-day bondage conference for 50-80 people to dive into doing rope, rope and more rope… and a bit of non-rope bondage too for variety. I did the whole thing myself. Sent out notices, invited presenters, paid [...]
I have spent large chunks of the past few days sitting in front of 2 statues of Shiva, and a ceramic cat holding a basket standing on a bed of roses. I find this oddly fitting, and strangely surreal. One of the beautiful things about my life is the sheer number of friends, associates, connections [...]
I have had a lot of sexual fantasies over the years, and heck, I’d say compared to the average person on the street, I’ve done a lot of people’s sexual fantasies at one time or another. I have gone through purity lists like memory lists, and can tangibly recall my friend Julia introducing me to [...]
Back in the day this journal used to be my journal. In 1998 I put up “Welcome to the MortalCity,” an homage to my sexual journey and Dar Williams. Back on the PC-EZ servers. Early edgy sexuality journal voices, our voices echoing back and forth to each other across the pixels and poor layouts that [...]
On the drive back from Dark Odyssey: Fusion, my friend asked me “So, how was the event? Did you have fun?” My Boy piped up and asked if he could answer it for me. Out of sheer amusement, I said yes. He said not really, as I was too busy running everything. My brain stops, [...]
For the past few days I have been following a discussion thread about what it does and does not mean to be a Feri Priest. It led me to this lovely post about what it means to be a Priest, Priestess, Shaman, and more… a great read. The debate came up as to whether a [...]
I was recently interviewed online by Jordan Grantis on the topic of self-publishing. I think there are some of my readers who might be interested in my process, so enjoy! 1. What is the relationship between your work as an author and your work as a teacher? How do those two endeavors work together for [...]
