BLOCKED ON TWITTER: I Finally Made It?

BLOCKED ON TWITTER: I Finally Made It? They say when someone blocks you on Twitter, it is some kind of honor. People out here bragging about "I got blocked! I made it!" Having experienced getting blocked for the first time, gotta say, that's not what it feels like at all. Maybe it feels good if it's a certain kind of Twitter personality. In that case I think mine is a dud. Here's what happened. This young woman posted on the topic of UnFriending over Politics. H…

Penny Fox is just about finished

Penny Fox is just about finished I make thrift store "upcycled" dolls often starting with a baby onesie and building from there. I use kids clothes, fabric scraps a NY friend sends, broken pieces of vintage accessories, beads, yarns etc. Again, silk neckties are great for these characters.

In Other Words: You're Posting Wrong

In Other Words: You're Posting Wrong It is November 27th 2019, and I've re-activated Facebook after one full calendar year. To the day. Know what I've noticed? It's still a mess.

That would be Grace and Frankie (Netflix) and yes, that's her, kids. Hey, old guys? J…

Amanda Fucking Palmer

Amanda Fucking Palmer Right now on the Internet there is an Amanda Palmer hatefest. Another one, and it's a doozy. As a onetime music writer and promoter, I don’t know what to make of the truculent, sneering Amanda, or her weird, brill fame. This latest wave of #AmandaPalmerIsACunt started I guess with a muckety muck at The Guardian having an odd sort of go at Amanda on Twitter, and once there's a splash of Palmer blood in the social network seas, forget abo…

13 "Cunts" on a Monday

13 "Cunts" on a Monday In my experience, older ladies (retired, grannies) are the ones who lose their minds when you use the word "cunt." Men and younger women (practical, busy surviving) don't even blink. So this one is for the ladies. My message is simply this: cunt happens. It just does, I'm sorry if you're offended, but what should offend you, ipso facto , is cunts—not the word used to talk about cunts. If I am talking about a cunt and I use …
