The Puppet Dance Begins
“Hannah lived in a big house in the suburbs and she did her homework every night and she ate all of her acorn mash because she was always told that acorn mash would make her strong, and she emptied the dishwasher when it was full and she took out the trash when it started to […]
Fungasm Friday!!!
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” Some guy from some band said that. And you know what? He was right. Summer hasn’t even officially began and I’m already out of free weekends. EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND from now until September is spoken for. Not all the plans involve work […]
AND NOW A WORD FROM VIOLET LeVOIT!
It’s been a while since we talked with Violet, the astonishing author of I AM GENGHIS CUM and I’LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES AND STEPHEN HAWKING. She vanished from the public eye roughly a year ago, to give two kinds of birth: a new short novel called I MISS THE WORLD, coming this fall from […]

FUNGASM FRIDAY!
I’m going to be super honest with you. I’m having a really hard time writing this post. There are so many things going on this weekend and I will be missing most of them due to the whole “life ain’t cheap” situation. I am trying to post links to things and I keep getting distracted […]
Fungasm Friday!
Fuck. Seriously. I mean like, shit. It’s barely been a week that I’ve felt like I could hear a Bowie song playing in the grocery store without the need to pause and mourn the loss of such a talented and amazing creature. And now, my sweet Prince. I never actually got to see him […]
