Reading for Nobilis & Other Newsy Stuff
I’ve been quiet of late. This is mostly because my new semester is looming like a vulture and I’m having to do a lot of prep for it. However, three bits of news. I was very honoured to be asked by Nobilis to read his story Wager for his weekly podcast. I had a great […]
We Just Aren’t That Simple
Nobilis pointed me in the direction of Figleaf’s “The No-Sex Class: Men, Women, and Gangbangs in Porn” which led me to “Once more into the breech” by Amanda over at Pendragon.net., which led me to “On Porn, Sex And Pincushions” over at Echinde of the Snakes.
Although each of them stray in their topics a little, all of them are worth reading, as they all deal with the subject of porn tropes, and how those play out in the reality of society, sex education and the bedroom.

Bangkok Thoughts: The Strata of Cities
Like a well-made B52 (which is what I have imbibed too many of before writing this post) the heart of Bangkok is a stratified city, both spatially and spiritually.
Geocentricity
I’m feeling cruel today. Words crowd my brain, teetering at my fingertips like cudgels. I don’t want to play your dearest friend, proxy mother, saintly virgin, or ghost. Either fuck me or fuck off.
Extremadura
Do you wonder if it is hard for me not to visit your well of cool water? I am mad with thirst, like a beast of burden dragging its plow through half a world of rocky, unbroken soil. Many times I have sent myself into exile. Never once has it hurt like this. photo: Kalense […]
Mercy Altar
Twitter is both a terrifyingly addictive blackhole of time, and an amazing place to meet people that, otherwise, you might never come across. It was there that I discovered Hazel Dooney, an Australian artist. She wrote an interesting blog post on self-sanctification. Like me, she was not brought up in a religious family, but also […]
