January 28, 2019January 31, 2020 Lilburne

When was the last time someone touched you in an affectionate way? If you’re a man, the answer could be days or even weeks ago. And it probably wasn’t a friend who touched you, but a lover or romantic partner. … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Touch and Toxic Masculinity

September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 Jimy Coma

Let’s Talk: Ignorant/Bigoted Assumptions You Used to Have

July 26, 2018July 26, 2018 MrsLangdonAlger

It’s impossible to live in the world we live in, a society that is inherently racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, etc, without internalizing some bigotry.

Let’s Talk: Breaking the Habit

May 31, 2018May 31, 2018 Jimy Coma

Biting your nails. Biting a stranger’s nails. Chewing your hair. Popping gum. Popping zits. Fondling batteries. Picking noses. Scratching your butt in public. Reckless coke binges. These are examples of bad habits. We all have them, some more debilitating than … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Breaking the Habit

May 11, 2018May 10, 2018 Jimy Coma

A noble shout-out to Wafflicious for the topic idea. I hate using the phrase “It’s that time of year,” especially when that could refer to any time of year – it’s a specific kind of phrase that has such vague … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Travel
