In the second email Mariah recommends the first four minutes of this video. It’s Robin D’Angelo, the author of … [Read more…]
This may be the last, or among the last, of my COVIDiaries for a while. I want to continue to work from home for the foreseeable future. But it appears America is just going to pretend the pandemic is over. While cases continue to rise in most of the country, we continue to open up … [Read more…]
Liberal Currents is a publication by some of my friends, mostly libertarians and ex-libertarians. Last week they ran How I Became an Anti-Racist.

My friend Lindsay was recently complaining about people being assholes about social distancing at the farmer’s market he works at. Watching people fail to social distance because they’re assholes and other people fail because they don’t speak English and everyone be mean to everyone else understandably fed his inner misanthropist. One thing I’ve changed my … [Read more…]
On Friday I shared on Twitter and Instagram stories that I started an OnlyFans. For the less-perverted among my gentle readership, OnlyFans is a website where people post naughty photos and videos and other people pay to see this material. So, only click this link if you want to see naughty bits. It’s kind of … [Read more…]
Ich habe also OMGYES gekauft, hier ist mein Bericht. Was ist OMGYES? Hier ist ein Intro-Video: Im Prinzip ist das Ziel von OMGYES, das „Orgasmus-Gefälle“ zu verringern. Laut der Studie „National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior” hatten bei ihrer letzten sexuellen Begegnung 91 Prozent der Männer einen Orgasmus, von den Frauen hingegen nur 64 … [Read more…]
I had trouble writing here last week. It felt icky writing about my life as if people aren’t suffering. That this is the most “elite” I’ve ever felt. I have a secure job that pays me well and where I’m treated really well in a city with great delivery services. I want to acknowledge the … [Read more…]
