Imagine those fingers learning the instrument of your body, where to caress, and how, or their lips and tongue, learning you too. I don’t think I am. It’s so painful.

Mindy Seu: cyberfeminism ‘has shifted from utopia to dystopia’

Do you feel like cyberfeminism has shifted a lot over the years? What’s your take on its birth, and how it has evolved? The first love triangle I experienced was platonic. Me and my two best friends in preschool loved each other too much. Sometimes it would make us cry! We would tease boys on the playground, of course, but we loved each other best. The jealousy I felt when I saw my two friends speaking alone motivated me to grow closer to each of them. Yeah,” I said, “There’s a lot of ways it could go wrong. But maybe it could just be a fun fling too.” Liara Roux, an autistic resident of New York City's Upper East Side, recalls her childhood of conservative Christian surroundings and an abusive father, in juxtaposition with her latent desire to be involved with prostitution. As an adult, Roux is sexually abused in a lesbian relationship with her partner, and finds solace in the practice of sex work, even when her sexual experiences with clients are flawed. Roux raises questions about sex and sexuality as commodities, bodily autonomy, sexual consent, and the worth of the individual in a collective western society. She also tells of her medical conditions in life, including excruciating migraines, and her poor experience when seeking proper healthcare. The book continues with various personal accounts of Roux's experiences with clients, as she seeks independence from her partner after a bad marriage.

What was that popular one – the problematic media men?I think I’m in love with someone else,” she told me, nervously playing with the ridge of her paper coffee cup, “Or no, love isn’t the right word. Just sexually obsessed. I can’t stop thinking about him.” Information overload is a sort of psychological warfare. Russia and the US and probably China all seem to use it as propaganda, as a population control mechanism.

Mindy Seu: Spreadsheets have been around almost since we’ve had the ability to write. Think about clay tablets; they’ve long been a form of record keeping. Now with Google Drive and other cloud-based tools, they’re so easy to share. People have started using spreadsheets in unusual and unintended ways, from diaries, timelines, or multi-tab publications that are open access. Spreadsheets can be quite personal, too. Liara Roux is an American author, sex worker, pornography director, internet personality and sex worker human rights activist. [1] [2] Career [ edit ] I actually got to a place of really loving it,” said Chanté, who added that they’ve received an outpouring of support from friends and followers online. I really love Marie Calloway’s what purpose did i serve in your life, which documents her time doing sex work. I think that book was really what made me think that I could pursue sex work for myself. When I first read Marie’s writing, actually, I was really upset, and people will have that visceral response to my writing too. Hopefully, though, as they sit with it, people will be able to process why writing about sex work, and sex in general, can sometimes be so upsetting. There are too many books for me to list, but I also love Charlotte Shane’s writing.People say, ‘Can you use real models?’” she said of the pressure fashion companies get to hire more typical-looking people. “And then everyone bashes them and calls them ugly.” With Cyberfeminism Index , Seu has made something of a canon for anyone who wants to get up to speed, featuring mainstays like Donna Harraway, VNS Matrix, Sadie Plant, and Radhika Gajjala, but she stresses that cyberfeminism itself is in a constant state of flux. It lends institutional validation to works that might have otherwise disappeared into the noise of information overload. A hefty tome; not quite a Bible, but an archive – and a beautiful one at that.
