Dudes continue uninterrupted exercise of divine right to annex uteruses as political tools, almost as if International Women’s Day had no impact whatsoever! Whups! Looks like I missed International Women’s Day. I was preoccupied with extensive preparations for my “Dancing with the ...

Stella, genius My young grey mare Maypearl looks like a benevolent little porcelain unicorn, but she has fearsome intellective powers, which powers she unfortunately inclines toward the service of evil.

Blamer Belenen sent in a video clip the other day with the note “check out this animated tribute to sexism.” It was a cartoon called “Only in a Woman’s World.” Four young female characters obsess about femininity, particularly body image and food, in that glib, self-dep...

One of the things that happened when I bagged my blog for several months was that some old readers moved on, and some new ones turned up. Sayonara, old readers! You have broken the Twisty heart, and I hate you for it. Welcome, new readers! If you ever leave, I will hate you, too. It is for the benef...
