How I Became A Feminist Porn Star

Fascinating read.
http://jezebel.com/5984021/how-i-became-a-feminist-porn-star

In 2004, I was working at a popular sex toy retailer in San Francisco. Twenty-three years old, I was a recent graduate from a state university where I had studied English Literature and flung myself head-first into the eclectic and radically open-minded culture of my adopted city. Working at Good Vibrations, I was surrounded by sexuality, from sex toys to fellow employees who were educated and articulate about sex. The shop had shelves of various kinds of porn films, available for rental and purchase. After six months, I had consumed a fair amount of porn and was used to talking about it with my colleagues and customers. Looking back on that time, I recall watching porn and thinking that I had something to offer to it. With very few exceptions, the porn I had seen felt empty, inauthentic, and not representative of my sexuality and the kind of sex I was having. I honestly thought that I could change the movies for the better

The superlative cauliflower mushroom..

We found this beauty last sunday… a huge chunk of it is sitting in my freezer as we speak. I'm thinking, because of it's similarity in shape and texture to egg noodles, I might make a stroganoff with it.

Just put about 10 pounds of chanterelles in the new dehydrator... About halfway there...

Also, chopped up my portion of a monster Cauliflower Mushroom in the freezer... It's been a bumper season, for sure...

Online user list.

Hi, guys.. was just wondering.. I haven't seen it discussed before, but is it feasible to come up with a little list like on a sidebar or somewhere that shows what users are currently on? (I know, it's kind of old-school BBS, but it would be kind of nice to be able to know that if you send someone a PM, he or she is actually on and might reply quickly)

Man, what a season so far for mushrooms!

Ever since Labor day, my buddy and I have been out at least once a week, and we've been knocking 'em dead.. Lobsters, Chanterelles, Zeller's Boletes, King Boletes, Bleeding Milkcaps.. dehydrators are working overtime... this is my last haul from Saturday (and he had probably twice as much as me)

My apologies to the group.

Somebody posted an inaccurate telling of an exchange in a group I usually hang out in, and I took the bait - against my better judgement - and contributed to a derailment. I'm sorry for coming in here and getting caught up in a shit-flinging party which had nothing to do with this group, nor it's purpose.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

Equating sex acts (and specifically the male sexual release) with excretory function makes another appearance...
But no, Virginia. There's no patholgy at play there...

Reach out... with a kiss from my mother...




One of the more under-appreciated bands of the 90s..
