Why every single candidate for any office, anywhere hasn’t been doing this is wild to me. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

i wrote for @flaminghydra.com about doing sex tourism. tracy jordan voice yes i am provocative
flaminghydra.com/issue-487/#s...
I miss the days when wanting someone meant wanting to take from them, or maybe to occupy them somehow—when desire was still so much about becoming. That was the thing I outgrew, not the bar-hopping and bed-hopping itself. The sweet and fizzy sexuality of my youth has distilled into something too potent, too intense, to accommodate my old wanderlust. If I were somehow forced back into the sexual marketplace, my promiscuity would look very different. There’s something so vulnerable about a tourist, so breakable, this badly dressed goober practically begging to be mugged, behaving with the abandon of rootlessness. That abandon is no longer available to me, I don’t think. In any promiscuous tourist future I can imagine, I’d be the jaded townie selling the destination T-shirts, not the exuberant traveler buying them. As it turns out, wanting a person is an awfully stark business when you actually do want the person, rather than just a brief vacation in their life.

ICE, CBP, and Border Patrol have proven themselves incapable of obeying the law, let alone enforcing it for others; unable to self-soothe, let alone keep the peace. Why must ordinary people be asked to stay calm and not upset them? www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

I think what the consultant class is missing is that the dems are always like “send money to save democracy!!” so then you send money and nothing fucking happens. why don’t you save democracy first and i’ll pay when you’ve done it
