• I have the most terrible #craving for #artichokes What I need is a lovely boy to deliver some, cook 'em, and then provide me with #dessert #
• @maymaym Actually, they're super-duper easy. A little prep to get rid of the spikes, then just steam 'em or boil 'em. Lemon keeps 'em green. in reply to maymaym #
• Have you ever noticed that when people tell you to read #books it's usually because you #talk like you've already read 'em? #notuseful #

• Zomygosh! I am learning about the delineations of #Timelord #Society. Such a happy #Whovian #KFADC2 #
• @olorwen I would dive into that! It may seem to easy, but there's more to #RHPS than meets the eye! #KFADC2 #
• Excited to hear @mollyren talk on safety around oral herpes-so many people just ignore cold sores. Education about it is so lacking. #kfadc2 #
• Due to rampant misinterpretation within the BDSM scene, #herpes can become an #asset (How hot! She's not allowed to kiss!) #KFADC2 #
• @pledgemistress Thanks for mentioning me! @MauiKink, feel free to get in touch! I'd love to help if I can! in reply to pledgemistress #
• What happens when you try to be #safe but your partners don't #listen and don't let you? #STI challenges are multifold! @mollyren #kfadc2 #
• Also, @talkingfigleaf is a veritable #font of knowledge! I know more about #herpes viruses now than I had #expected to learn today! #kfadc2 #
• OH! @mollyren reminds us that #herpes the kissing disease, is often passed w/in families. Brilliant reason to tear down #STI stigma #KFADC2 #
• As I sit and tweet, the brilliant @maymaym fills our meter, sets a timer, keeps the day smooth. I'm a lucky girl. #
• #Ask before #kissing people on the lips. Not only is it polite, it can keep you safe! #kfadc2 #
• @writingdirty Well, we are at the LGBT center. It wouldn't be that odd…. in reply to writingdirty #
• Check out the gorgeous #ADPS representation at #KFADC two! Joined by @lia_sphere and @xMech. ROCK ON!! #
• WHAT DID I MISS?! @nikolasco is clearly talking about technology I need, but I missed something! Fill me in, guys #KFADC2 #
• Oooh, #teledildonics for the win! One of the best words for some of the best tech! #KFADC2 @nikolasco #
• (PS, People who merely read his blog don't know it, but in person, @TalkingFigleaf is totally adorable. #TrueThing ) #
• Man, given how necessary music is for my #masturbation to function, I really need to get one of those #ipod dildo things. @nikolasco #kfadc2 #
• "You don't want a gay dildo if you're straight" – @TalkingFigleaf (Those things will turn you …) OH at #KFADC2 #
• Seismic. Dildo. I'm sold, @nikolasco – you don't even need to explain. But you can, if you like. KFADC@ #
• Man, I thought @maymaym and I had some good #sextech but @Nikolasco has us beat, HANDS DOWN. So. Much. #Want #KFADC2 #
• I need a #vibrator that senses how close you are to orgasm, and #slows down. #Amazing #KFADC (Better watch out, @maymaym). @Nikolasco #
• People filter in for a conversation on #proporn #antiporn here at #KFADC2 I wonder if there'll be such #open #discussion at #stopporncon #
• Seems much of the #proporn #antiporn debate is a lot of fuss about #semantics – if it doesn't hurt #women is it porn? #kfadc2 #stopporncon #
• Seems if #stopporncon approves of it, it must be #erotica not #porn Let us brand ourselves, #reclaim what once #harmed us. #KFADC2 #
• Conversation abt #feminism what once was #radical now seems #repressive Perhaps #stopporncon is just #misstep on way to good world? #KFADC2 #
• Seems #Webster #039;s and #antiporn feminists definitions of porn vary: http://bit.ly/bCq0xD. Maybe that's the root of this. #stopporncon #kfadc2 #
• RT @DDog @siniful sez: It's hard to have a #conversation unless everyone knows what the #definitions being used are. #kfadc2 #stopporncon #
• RT @DDog @talkingfigleaf: What we call #porn they call evidence for prosecution, what they call #erotica we call porn. #kfadc2 #stopporcon #
• Stepping away from the #stopporncon confusion and pain, @olorwen causes us to joyously discuss our #individual discoveries of #kink #KFADC2 #
• So many people here started w/ #fanfic before realizing they could #live some of their fantasies. Did #Snape bring me to big #noses #kfadc2 #
• .@debaucheddiva PLEASE tell us how the kink.com conversation goes. There is so much legit discussion that they'll miss. #stoporncon #kfadc2 #
• .@debaucheddiva @hiohmegan D'you see any understanding or search for common ground at #stopporncon At #KFADC2 we disagree but try to grock. #
• @siniful IS IT?! OH MY GOSH WHERE! (so few people saw the sequel…) in reply to siniful #
• Now @TalkingFigleaf, having gathered his bloggerific thoughts, speaks brilliant points on #porn #erotica definitions. #stopporncon #kfadc2 #
• Careful, @furrygirl, #sarcasm and #text and #conservatives don't mix very well. #Stopporncon #kfadc2 #
• Ok, #antiporn folks, we admit it! If #porn is by #definition #harmful, we hate it too!! But we don't think that's true. #kfadc2 #stopporncon #
• @debaucheddiva Completely honestly – how are you managing? How is @hiohmegan? This has got to be very scary. Are you speaking up much? in reply to debaucheddiva #
• @pledgemistress @furrygirl Yeah, that was my thinking, too. #Stopporncon #KFADC2 in reply to pledgemistress #
• .@TalkingFigleaf reminds: things don't disappear when we make 'em illegal, they go underground & become REALLY harmful. #stopporncon #kfadc2 #
• @HiOhMegan Take good care of yourself, lady. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything. Don't let the bastards get ya down. in reply to HiOhMegan #
• .@Lia_Sphere Speaks #masochism and #masculinity Giving up power does not equate with femininity. (Really – I promise.) #KFADC2 #
• I'm loving @Lia_Sphere's depiction of #strong #submissive #masculinity – but why relegate it solely to #gay #relations? #KFADC2 #
• I am reminded of #wes and #ADPS as @Lia_Sphere reads her paper. There is comfort in #academic #storyhour. #KFADC #
• "phalocentrism is above all the denial of the value of powerlessness in both men and women" qtd. by @Lia_Sphere. Amazing. #KFADC2 #
• Thanks to the #sexpositive folks at #stopporncon It's scary to try to #engage people who disagree. We're lucky to have good #ambassadors #
• I sincerely hope #stopporncon succeeds in its goal of ending oppression, coercion, cruelty. We at #KFADC2 share these ideals-engage with us! #
• I would would love to hear #more from folks at #stopporncon – trying to #understand your #viewpoints from a distance, but need more! #KFADC2 #
• Continuing our attempt to do better #understand #proporn #antiporn dispute. #stopporncon #KFADC http://ustream.tv/channel/kinkforall #
• We need to be strong, mature advocates of our viewpoint. Disagreement doesn't mean we can take others lightly. Be kind. #KFADC2 #stopporncon #
• People I admire for their strength, today: @hiohmegan, @maymaym, @debaucheddiva, @pledgemistress. #stopporncon #kfadc2 #
• Beginning to fade. Keeping positive is tough, staying kind in the face of oppression tougher – and toughest when my "own side" kicks back. #
• My internep just died: meant to say, @raxvulpine, @furrygirl, I'm not trying to preach, just remind myself of my own ideals. Follow yours. #
• Wish I could've tweeted @DDog's supercool discussion on being #thoughtful on #trans issues, but no net & phone is tough. #kfadc2 #
• Little to #no #Internet at #kfadc2 venue. We're still rockin' and recording despite radio silence! Check it out after-the-fact. #
• A pile of people slumps cuddled in the back of the roon at #kfadc2 Frenetic pace of #kinkforall can do that to a body. They're sweet t'see. #
• @Gnosisseeker Yeah, @KinkOnTap is TOTALLY a go tomorrow! Live from Providence! in reply to Gnosisseeker #
• #KFADC2 ends, for me, with a truly monumental headache. I need sushi, and cuddles. Stat. (But it was a good day, and thanks to all involved) #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-06-06

• Just about ready for #KinkOnTap with @ReidAboutSex, @TBK365 & of course, @maymaym. Gonna be a #great show, y'all! http://bit.ly/aHO2d5! #
• @HiOhMegan Is this truly the most beneficial, efficient and joyous use of your time, lady? in reply to HiOhMegan #
• Enjoyed @KinkOnTap – thanks to @ReidAboutSex & @TBK365 for joining us! We had #conversation & healthy #debate and we're glad for them both! #
• Best sum-up EVAR: RT @bewareleopard: the alpha delta girls: colluding to destroy monogamy and corrupt former evangelicals since 1856 #
• I sometimes find myself frustrated with just how often I use the word "may." It can rapidly become confusing. cc @maymaym #
• Rapidly concluding that there is no good way to express one's negative feelings. Better to deal with it all on my own, then act accordingly. #
• Need support. Have meeting. Regardless of what others say, meeting not appropriate place to get support. Plan: stop needing support. STAT. #
• No, srsly, guys. The goal is to just not need support. I wanna be like those little glass balls w/ water & shrimp & algae-self sufficient. #
• @SaraEileen @Supergruntled @ Majamajamaja Miscommunication. Meeting & support having nothing to do w/ one another. Meeting'll probably help! #
• How come nobody believes I can be an ecosystem? I can be an ecosystem! I don't need any other organisms 'cept the ones I got! So there!! #
• Also – y'all are amazing. SO many responses to my tweetses! Normally I expect to be tweetin' to the void. #
• Things I am #good at: Supporting myself. I promise, folks. S'just, part of that is tweeting out emotion. Things I am bad at: Eating #dinner #
• @zacmakes You tried to kill the snake? Why did you try to kill the snake?! in reply to zacmakes #
• Accomplished today: made children laugh, read 'The Time Machine' for first time. I might not be feelin' superb, but that's still an ok day. #
• @Rikakulon @SaraEileen Similar thing happened to me a in the park a few years ago. Tough & scary, but I'm not sure how I feel about shaming. in reply to SaraEileen #
• @SaraEileen Not sure. Wasn't an option when it happened to me, so I took a deep breath & moved on. Probably'd do th'same now, but that's me. in reply to SaraEileen #
• @SaraEileen I don't act because that would make him important. He's a sad lonely man, and he can stay that way, if this's how he handles it. in reply to SaraEileen #
• @SaraEileen I want to reiterate: this is #not #advice, it's opinion. This's how I made myself OK – @Rikakulon, please do whatever helps you. in reply to SaraEileen #
• From #KinkForAll to #KinkOnTap to @Sarahdopp & @HiOhMegan, I am feeling blessed and lucky in all my projects & my friends today. #LiveHappy #
• @maymaym @sarahdopp @hiohmegan Awwwww, you guuuuuuuyyyyyssss … #blushes #GoesBackToWork in reply to maymaym #
• Also, #soup makes me #sleepy #
• ALSO also, I am two sips into my glass of red wine and already feeling it. #cheapdate #tweetingtoomuch #
• Dude, my g-mail background is awesome when google thinks that there's a #thunderstorm in my #neighborhood #
• The simple, easy-to-grasp truth about the semicolon. With #bears and #raptors http://theoatmeal.com/comics/semicolon #
• @zacmakes You found it! Somehow I always thought of it as being less … hidden. And snakeful. in reply to zacmakes #
• @pledgemistress Of course!! Happy to oblige! But you gotta get it to me first… in reply to pledgemistress #
• @maymaym You helped in a big way, there & elsewhere. I thank you: https://followsthesun.com/he-belonged-to-me-loss-optimism-and-kinkforall/ in reply to maymaym #
• Few things make me feel better about myself than reading my old #blog entries. I really like this #girl that is me. https://followsthesun.com #
• Here we go to Summervillle, so early in the morning… #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-30

• Listening to @bigolpoofter speak about the politics of sex and #HIV – framing #transmission as a #crime doesn't help anything. Ever. #Sex20 #
• It's 1 thing to speak of "criminalization of transmission" another to speak of "laws regarding disclosure." Which sounds right t'you? #Sex20 #
• When you create something good & #share it w/others, it very quickly becomes bigger than yourself. The only thing to do is let it go w/#joy. #
• Sure, @CrystalDToys! Joining now. U-stream as we capture more interviews, but we'll chat & keep the #Sex20 search. http://bit.ly/aHO2d5 in reply to CrystalDToys #
• I'm learning a lot about what it means to be born to parents with #HIV Didn't know mother-to-child transmission could be avoided! #Sex20 #
• Why is it so hard to allow people to make their own #decisions Spread information & let us decide our own acceptable risk. #Sex20 #safersex #
• What if porn featured conversations between participants about their #sexual #status? That'd be even #hotter than condoms and lube! #sex20 #
• "Lo and behold, I'm a sexual being – and it's MINE! Who'da thought!" – Dr. Betty Martin #Sex20 #
• #Sex #Workers on SWOP panel range from "allergic to social media" to "cannot imagine doing this work without the #internet " Cool! #Sex20 #
• Interesting notion: might be ok for your child's friends to find your #sex #work site, but not ok for them to see a topless pic there #sex20 #
• "It's more interesting to me if someone wants to grow and learn. It gets boring after a while to just get everybody off all the time" #Sex20 #
• Feeling the need to session hop this morning – lots of great stuff and I just #can #039;t #limit myself! #Sex20 #
• Snuck into @ReidAboutSex's #media session. #Talking #points & #speech #patterns are discussed & planned out. Media is for #wrangling #sex20 #
• Make a good website. Get yerslelf into the #media Bring people to your #website That all ya gotta do, friends. That's it. #Sex20 #

• Do not listen to Big Media when they say they'll give you back your stuff. Do not share without a back-up.- @ReidAboutSex Good Advice #Sex20 #
• "Remember, the average American reads English at or below an 8th grade level." #Accessibility is not only for the #smart or #educated #Sex20 #
• If the #rules are #stupid break 'em. You'll get a lot of great #media attention before They shut you down. #Sex20 #
• Get what you need. Don't wait for people to give it to you. Be so #helpful you're obnoxious and you'll be in the clear. @ReidAboutSex #Sex20 #
• Apparently on #Network #TV, November is #scandal #month – because that's why they're lookin' for ratings. Good to know! #Sex20 #
• You are always free to leave. If an interviewer is hostile, if you have been mislead, politely remove yourself. #Sex20 #
• About #media @maymaym asks: "how do you learn to talk to a new, unfamiliar audience?" @ReidAboutSex says" "Slow down, be self-aware" #sex20 #
• RT @scarletlotus: Never put a dollar amount out there first, ask "what's your budget?" when at all possible @loveuduckydoo #sex20 Yes-Right! #
• Remember: "It's probably not the end of the world. It just #feels like it is." @ReidAboutSex Easier said than done, my friend. #Sex20 #
• Oh, SO good to know that #NPR goes over-time to. Sometime a #great #conversation is just too good to end! #KinkOnTap #Sex20 @ReidAboutSex #
• Spkr @mrsexsmith discusses wanting (& having) what you want, even when it feels fucked up. Sometimes your own #desires need #consent #sex20 #
• Had a such fun chatting w/ @HiOhMegan, @ReidAboutSex, and Clea & Allena of http://bit.ly/31cS4p w/ @maymaym for @KinkOnTap! #sex20 #
• Knowing that you don't always say "yes" can make those you #love feel #valued when you do say yes to them. @mrsexsmith #sex20 #
• Enjoying @mrsexsmith joyously telling us that we all have to say "no" to each other – because she told us to. Is this consent or not? #sex20 #
• @bewareleopard Hello to the porch from Seattle! To whomever asked why I wasn't at Ford News this morning, well that's why. In seattle. #
• Truly enjoying @mrsexsmith's "Yes, No & Consent" workshop. All of these have been smart & #interesting but this one is so much #fun #sex20 #
• @maymaym Yeah, well, we're complicated. Because we're so smart and great and awesome. And stuff. in reply to maymaym #
• RT @Ropecast: OH "Do you 2 ever get to sex?" (@helio_girl) "With surprising rapidity and frequency, thank you!" #sex20 And damn proud of it! #
• Can I just say how incredibly glad I am to be here with @maymaym? I know it's obvious as hell, but I am full of #joy #Sex20 #
• If you question your partner's yes, don't ignore the feeling or ignore their #consent talk to them. Keep talking till you understand. #sex20 #
• Sometimes #consent signals come not through words but through #tone @maymaym shares an example-from his own erotica, no less! #sex20 #
• If you #consent to someone making decisions for you, it's important to abide by their decisions. #Trust has layers. Build many, more. #Sex20 #
• "My clients trust my implicitly-they just KNOW that I won't do anything they won't like. WHAT?!" OH in @mrsexsmith's #consent session #sex20 #
• Don't teach people to treat people badly. Don't teach men to treat women badly, women to treat men badly-be #excellent to each other. #sex20 #
• Many thanks to @lissyblog for reposting my #Defining #Kink talk-I'm honored. Check it out @ Carnival of Kinky Feminism! http://bit.ly/dqIiBY #
• So true -@zalsoa brings up the difficulty of creating an #illusion of #nonconsent for activities you love – even when you want to! #sex20 #
• Huh – "dirty" and "wrong" almost never figure into my sex life. More that our definition of "right" (SO RIGHT) is just … different. #Sex20 #
• Closing comments at #Sex20 What a fantastic conference – safe, comfortable, and cross-cultural, informative. Thank you, @sex20con #
• Raffle time at #Sex20 @Ropecast has won twice already! He claims he never wins anything, but I do not believe this. #
• Apparently, if you win once in this raffle you win twice or thrice! Hmmmmm #Sex20 #
• I see snow-capped #mountains from the window of my plane. Goodbye #Seattle Goodbye #Sex20 It's been great! Hope I see you both again soon! #
• At airport in DTW, watching the sun set at 9:00pm local. I have no clue how my biological clock is set on this endless day. 4 hours to home. #
• 87 degrees outside. An army of electric fans fill the library w/ breezes. Our patrons are sandalled moms & shirtless toddles. Hello summer. #

• Sending out follow-up e-mails from #Sex20 There're tons, but still, I wish I had gotten #cards from more people! If we met, drop me a line! #
• Went from feeling awesome to feeling exhausted to the point of tears & unable to even guess what all work I have to do in record time. Guh. #
• Oh no you DON'T Mr. Wiki! When I say make a page you bloody well make a page! I AM the #Wiki #Queen! #

• Here is tonight: I drive home thinking it's late, I won't do much work tonight. 3 hours later it is dark and I have not moved at all. Go me. #

• I am seriously enjoying having #breasts right now. Just sayin'. #
• "It's Christmas, and I have a puckish side that will not be denied." #
