TW: Eating Disorder/Self Hate
In my experience, hungry virgin feels like the most authentic reclamation of a slur. I am wildly uncomfortable in the presence of these two words yet I feel a compulsion to use them. The syllables roll around in my mouth like waves of the furtive and secret early moments of masturbation. It is a phrase that...

Ashley's Guide To Hawt Hair
I received a very validating email on Facebook from someone I don’t know asking me how I get my hair to look so good. This is something I get asked a lot, and I feel I owe it to the world to share my secrets. It also feels better to talk about yourself like you’re a superhero than it does to study for a 1st year art history exam or wallow in your own self pity and loneliness, so...
Dear Erin,
Thank you. Sometimes I forget that I’ve been through more traumatic things than a breakup. There’s just something so rib-crackingly sad about the ones you don’t see coming. Until we meet, I plan on indulging in ugly crying and letting out all the horrifying wails I’ve been keeping inside for too long. There’s something so relieving about a tangible reason to let...
Dear Ashley
I love you. You have shown me (and continue to show me) how I am strong, teach me how to heal and force me to stare my pain and heartache in the face without running away. You are a gorgeous, bad ass, courageous and incredibly fucking smart and amazing person who I’ve definitely had inappropriate feelings about on more than one occasion. I wish I could be there with you right now, like you...
Then Ashley’s wonderful partner dumped her when she least expected it and it was the TOTAL WORST. If you need her, she’ll be wallowing in self-pity and spending countless hours over-sharing on the internets till she can get an effing grip.
Thank christ for femmes who are also soothed by potato chips and trips to the drugstore.

Dear Ashley
As my public gender problems have been unfolding I have had to start thinking as critically about my masculinity as I have my femininity. I’ve noticed that often you and I (and many people we look up to) are looking to explode femininity, destroy it, or reconfigure or define it with our presentations. We have spent countless hours talking about that together and I carry those conversations with me...
You wanna talk about hungry virginz?

The only holiday card I ever get is from Domino’s as a “valued customer”.
Meh, whatever, I have pizza coupons now.
buttercupbuildup, you are a winner in my heart. i recently got a credit from panago’s for not ordering as much as I used to. i will take this post as a reminder that i need to step up my game.
