I adored this book. It’s such an exciting mix of genres, prose and images, the political and the personal. I can’t recall having read a book quite like this. She fearlessly ranges from her sexual experiences to her politically ideologies and relentlessly sticks to the truth that any and all binary positions are false. I would hope some young adults get to read this book, as it serves as a timely, relevant guidepost for those figuring it out.

All my friends hate AI, but I enjoy it. It allows me to live alternate lives. Like this one, where I’m a cat painter.

In the early 2000s, I was working on a project I called The Fetish Alphabet. It was a series of flash fictions, all named for the letters of the alphabet, each letter representing a fetish. Over time, I had various of those stories published on various literary platforms. In 2003, Born Magazine published one: “C Is for Conjoined Twins.” I don’t quite recall how it worked, but the idea was the site was coupling texts by writers with multimedia creators, and the text and multimedia were combined into one cool result. My story was turned into a Flash-based (I believe) … I don’t know what to call it but artwork sounds about right … by the French artist Rolito. Thanks to the Wayback Machine, you can see the interactive, animated original story here. (This interactive work is also cited in Donna Leishman’s “The Flash Community: Implications for Post-Conceptualism.”)

I know as a “serious” creative, which I’ve never really considered myself to be, you’re supposed to hate AI, but I had so much fun when I used Meta AI to create my latest newsletter. With prompting, Meta AI made up sex toys and virtual erotic poetry readings and fiction it claimed I wrote. There were some fascinating exchanges between me and Meta AI along the way, too. I also really had fun using Substack’s somewhat limited but whatever AI image generator to illustrate the newsletter. In any case, check it out here and subscribe.

This is a panel from “My, My American Bukkake,” a comic that I made in 2002. First, I went to a bukkake porn movie shoot and took photos. Then, I ran the images through Microsoft Paint. Finally, I edited the results. The comic has been published in Headpress 23, Dirty Stories Volume 3, and Best Erotic Comics 2008. In a review of Dirty Stories Volume 3, “A Fresh Look at Porn Comix,” TIME deemed my comic a “non-fiction standout.”

This is a photo I took yesterday at the wonderful Imagined Wests exhibit at the Autry Museum of the American West. The exhibit is about how the American West exists in the imagination in many forms, from art to movies to objects. Since the novel I’m working on that’s set in the adult movie industry is also about California and the twin myths of the American West and the American Dream, I found the exhibit very inspiring. In fact, it gave me an idea for an extremely important scene that appears late in the book.
