Looking around I said to myself the other day:
Dear Laundry:
You know I love your freshness when you are done, and the clean variety you offer. Without a question the site of you piled in a corner awaiting my attentions plagues my mind every time I search for something to wear. ...

I'm planning to be a big 'ole queer during Vancouver's Pride. There's all kinds of LeatherDyke events I'm attending during August.

May I stand beside you and help hold space as an ally?
I asked this of a woman on a forum who was being given a hard, hard time by some of the members.

How much fun was THAT!
I've never been to Bang 4 the Buck. And being in the presence of over 200 women all lathered up and scantily dressed was certainly this side of heaven.
Saturday's workshop was illuminating as I have frequently found Midori's sessions to be. And as always I am ...

I was birthed into public BDSM/kink/leather and have grown up in Vancouver. Prior to that I was practicing D/s in private in Alberta without context or community or vernacular. I just made the shit up. When I moved to Vancouver and came out publicly into BDSM, I looked around and ...

Recently I've been part of online discussions about what happens when the conect of women's only space gets moved online.
What happens when a group of "women" begin to speak about how transitional persons touch their lives? I'll tell ya.... all hell breaks loose. People step forward who are moving ...

yeah...
I was thinking about what I wrote.
If there is an evolution or a movement that is empowering or about discovery... it's really not for me as an affected person to stand in the way. That is not my intent. It's really not so much that I am invested in a ...
