Well, here’s some good news for the day, anyway. Thankfully there’s something.
Cory Silverberg asked me some damn good questions about Sex 2.0, and the interview is now up at About.com. An excerpt:
On your website you describe Sex 2.0 as focusing on “the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality.” What does that mean exactly?
I hate to give an obtuse answer, but the truth is, what it means will be different for each individual. That’s why I’m excited that we have such a diverse group of people participating; everyone will get to offer their own perspective on how these things intersect in their own lives. Attendees can expect, first of all, not to be just passive attendees! Everyone is a participant at Sex 2.0. The focus is on interaction and discussion, rather than sitting back while “experts” talk at you. One of the fundamental concepts here is that everyone has things to teach and to learn. We have sessions scheduled on topics ranging from erotic writing to queer identity online to the effects the internet has had on the escorting industry, and much, much more!
Read the whole thing here.
Thanks, Cory!

Jill has some good liveblogging of WAM. Now if only she would use a WAM tag for all her liveblogging posts, I could link to that page!

WAM was so so so much fun and so inspiring. I will write a wrap-up post soon. I meant to do it today, but then I wrecked my car for the second time in a week and I feel like a fucking moron and I spent a large portion of the afternoon crying profusely and freaking out. Currently we are waiting for USAA to call Rusty back, because when he called them earlier their computers were down. If we don’t hear from them tonight, he’ll call back in the morning. Then we’ll have to get my car towed to the Nissan dealership where I keep thinking they’re going to make fun of me, and the insurance adjuster will have to come look at it, and I’ll pay the deductible and hopefully not much more.
But god I feel so stupid.
Anyway now I need to get ready to go to pole dancing class. Rusty says exercise will make me feel better… so I’m going. I hope it helps.
And I’m trying to concentrate on the joy that was WAM.

“the assumption is that by holding off sex until you settle down with someone you love promotes monogamy and makes it more likely the marriage will work.”
-
“Attack her all you want on her positions, on her record, on her tactics – but don’t stand for gender-based attacks on her. They’re not acceptable, no matter what you think of her and no matter who they’re coming from.”
