Last summer, I suffered the breakup of a relationship that I had thought would be permanent. Now, I’ve been through my share of break-ups, even of quite serious relationships, but nothing ever broke me like this one. Since then, I’ve had sexual interactions of the orgasmic kind with 9 different people, none of which I [...]

Hello all! My name is Shani and I’d like to send many thanks to Jill for inviting me to guest. It’s always so hard to write a bio post — I never know whether to be clever or straightforward. But my about-me goes a little something like this: I currently work as the associate editor [...]

I’ll be taking a brief vacation and staying “home”, as it were, at my blog Red Vinyl Shoes, and then starting August 1 I’ll [...]

Well, Andrew Breitbart, smearing Shirley Sherrod in order to refute the NAACP’s resolution against “racist elements” in the Tea Party turned out to be a pretty bad idea. Yes, you cost her her job, but she’s making black people look good. It’s too bad you’re not like, a journalist, or something, and did some digging [...]
