At the Guardian:

—I wrote about hating children and Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left. Good bye, Wes.

—I wrote about the joys of superheroes fighting superheroes.

—I contributed to an article about how hunger strikers in Chicago are trying to keep open Dyett high school.

At the New Republic I wrote about Miss Piggy and how we don’t think about domestic abuse of men.

At Playboy I interviewed erotic author Selena Kitt.

At Splice Today I wrote about Freddie deBoer and why the purity of one’s beliefs maybe doesn’t matter that much.

At Ravishly I talked about the raid on Rentboy.com, and how it shows anti-prostitution laws are based in prejudice.

At Broadly I wrote about She Shreds’ proposed SXSW panel on representations of women musicians.

Sarah Nyberg on gamergate’s hate campaign against her. Reposting because said hate campaign has been intensified this week. I know Sarah only slightly, but she is a lovely person, and what is being done to her is evil.

Great piece on the mismanagement of Cooper’s Union (and how college presidents screw everyone else.)

C.T. May on how Ramesh Ponnuru is overconfident about Trump.

Katherine Cross on Ashley Madison and making up women for men.
