So Ampersand (subtle subliminal message: read his comic :D) directed me to Dar: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary and I think I may be in love. I immediately had to sit down and read the whole thing. And here I thought I was the only dyke dating a guy for some reason (and straight guys be warned, for it is not as glamorous as it may sound), who keeps bothering friends and family by buzzing my hair, thinks it would be awesome to have a penis and has lots of orgasms from weird random things. (Most of those links aren’t safe for work/school/the public library, BTW.)

Check out Submission and Coffee! They discuss my post I am not damaged: the intersection of queer and kinky on the latest episode, #126.
