Never Has So Much Been Made of So Little

The list of his government abuses against the women he has raped and those who investigate his corruption is long and tedious. Now we can add to that his attempt to censor a work of art that most people would have never heard about had he not tried to censor it. Since he had to go through the courts to close down the gallery where the painting was on display and since the courts took too long to bow down to his will, he had some of his thugs go into the gallery and destroy the painting.

It used to look like this:

The Spear by Brett Murray


Destroying original works of art in the internet age does nothing to keep them out of millions of computers. Now that Zuma’s henchmen have destroyed the real thing, even more people will see digital copies.

How to Meet Your Bashert



We waited a few weeks before we started dating. There was all that defending the homeland from genocide going on. He was doing the defending. I mostly watched. What I still talk about is how he never cared that I outranked him. Too many men are intimidated by women who have more power. Or at least the perception of more power. Up until last year his job was always more important than mine. Now I would say we both do equally important work on opposite ends of the spectrum. But I still outrank him. I was always attracted to the fact that it never meant anything to him.

An Open Letter to Homophobes

If God hates homosexuality, why did he wait for the English mistranslation of the Greek mistranslation of the original Hebrew to say so? There are plenty of homoerotic euphemisms in Hebrew. Was God waiting for somebody to invent an online translator?

Are anal and oral sex between heterosexuals unnatural? Some people would actually say yes to this. Can you imagine living your entire life without oral sex? That is not just unnatural, that is an abomination.

If you can criminalise and deem unnatural people who are unlike you, how hard would it be for somebody to criminalise and deem unnatural people like you?
