What my fans are saying

2025-01-04T11:32:59-08:00

I recently did a tarot reading for someone in Seattle, and she gave me this glowing review. Rather than trying to paraphrase and edit, I’ll reprint it here for you.

One of the sweetest, most powerful birthday gifts I’ve enjoyed this Jane-uary was a Tarot reading from Epiphany.

If you know me well, you know I live in the grey area between cold […]

No predictions?

2025-01-04T13:03:31-08:00

A lot of the tarot readings I do are party gigs. The host pays an up-front fee for me to show up and give three-card readings to the guests for a specific amount of time. ask a nurse . Because I’m part of the entertainment, I usually wind up reading for lots […]

Burners and Boundaries

2025-01-04T13:02:39-08:00

I wrote the following this morning in response to a discussion about rape culture amongst my Burner friends in California. This is something I have had a chance to contemplate, deeply, over the past 10 or so years. I think it is an elegant, simple solution to dealing with predators and bullies. I hope you find it useful.

Get off my lawn!

2025-01-04T13:04:02-08:00

I recently went on a campout with about 100 people in the woods of Northern California. Our group has been going to this particular spot for about 12 years. My friends are extremely eccentric, and many of the folks do a lot of experimentation with sex and drugs. Things have calmed down quite a bit from where they were when we […]

The Pleasure Principle

2025-01-04T13:04:27-08:00

The past couple of weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about pleasure. It’s been on my mind – quite literally. It must be good for me – and the world – to experience orgasm for 30-60 minutes at a time. I can’t help but think that this forges new neural pathways in my brain. It’s certainly improved my outlook on […]

Me, myself and I

2025-01-04T13:04:41-08:00

Over the years, I’ve gotten really good at getting myself off. I went through a period when I first moved to Austin, where I decided to be celibate, but I kept on with the masturbating. I got into some pretty powerful sexual spaces all by my lonesome, and am an expert on how […]

Riding in cars with boys

2012-03-15T17:51:35-08:00

It’s Tuesday night around 9 and I’ve gotten lost four times in North Austin. As a general rule, I try not to go further north than MLK, but the new boy has gotten under my skin like a whole summer’s worth of chiggers, and I have to scratch that itch. Hell, I’d even drive to Georgetown to see him. Fortunately, […]

Living in a porn film

2025-01-04T13:04:51-08:00

Apparently my life has turned into a porn film. I have a potential new lover, one I met in a very x-rated flick kinda way. He showed up on my doorstep to deliver me a pizza. Quick: turn down the lights, cue the cheesy music and let me get my clothes off so I can fuck him.

Of course, that’s what […]

Cultural paradox

2025-01-04T13:05:08-08:00

Last night I ended up going to a bar on the west side of downtown Austin. I almost never go downtown on Saturday night, but an out-of-town friend called and invited me to come out for his girlfriend’s birthday. They were watching the Saints game at Lucy’s Surfer Bar, a place where his girlfriend hangs out frequently (it’s a local […]

The first year is the hardest

2025-01-04T13:05:19-08:00

One year ago today, I told my husband that I wanted a divorce. I had countless people tell me how hard this first year would be, and they weren’t kidding. My heart has never hurt so much, and I think I could have raised the level of Lake Travis by a couple of inches with […]
