Almost The Midnight

It's almost The Midnight, and I am waiting for the third piece of news.

The first half of today was flat and boring and grumpy. By lunchtime I knew the extreme grumpiness was simply The World warning me that she was sending me something very, very soon.

I told my lovely lunch companion that something was coming. Over the last year I have developed some really excellent gut instincts that have only grown stronger and more correct over time.

Sure enough, The World sent me two marvellous pieces of news, exciting news, news that has changed the shape and direction of my next five years or so. The World even added two supplementary marvellous pieces of insightful and encouraging feedback, designed to help me move forward very quickly.

But somewhere out there, in the world, to one of my friends, a third, marvellous thing is happening. I look forward to hearing about it very soon indeed.

To be honest, if I were a conservative politician in Australia (and the way I was brought up, I may as well be), this is what I would do to ensure my political and social survival: I would claim the government didn’t believe i

Real People and Sex

EDITED: Edited for correct and current use of language on 9 March 2015, thanks to the followers and admins at One Billon Rising Australia . The most important thing to acknowledge is that even when trying to argue that we think about sex in an unhealthy manner, I used words that encouraged the same unhealthy attitude. It's all around us, this language that judges only one person in the multi-person act of sex. The second thing to acknowledge is that eighteen months of reading a lot of women's writing from all over the world, and eighteen months of a lot of experience with and thinking about sex, does tend to change a woman! For example, my first mainstream publication, all about sexual practice, that you can read right here . I had a very illuminating conversation a few weeks ago with a friend in which we discussed a character in a play. The character was a prostitute sex worker and the action for her character in the narrative revolved around her picking up a client i
