Writing For Sentient Sand

  • The Future of Sexuality

    Sexuality In The Past Sexuality in the Anglo and European West for some recent previous generations was a simple affair. In the Victorian worldview, when categorising things was the preoccupation, the population was divided into two categories, men and women. If a person (a subject), founds themselves to be in… Read ⇢

  • Books of 2017

    Books of 2017 Unfinished: that Santa Baby book because it had themes of abuse! Too emotional for night time reading. Also a bit crap. Antifragile Naseem Taleb – read plenty of it, but couldn’t force myself through the final third. Read ⇢

  • Reflections 2017

    Reflections on the past year. I feel proud of how long this calendar year has felt. It’s nice to balance the feeling of vertigo I get when I reflect on how old I am vs hold I feel with the sensation that I have crammed a lot into a single… Read ⇢

  • Hands on Vulvas

    The inspiration for this post came from two places. One place was an article about fingering which, while it was great to see one of my favourite things as the subject of an article, was a crashing disappointment in terms of the scanty advice it actually offers. The second place was… Read ⇢

  • (Unfinished)Reflections on 2016

  • Time changes

    My sense of time has changed. I’ve come to notice this by being around people who are still in their twenties (I’m 33 now). My friend Jo is 23 and to them, 6 months is an absolute age. I’ve recently connected with a new partner who is 26. He is… Read ⇢

  • Not A Meritocracy

    Social Justice So, I’m done with the social justice world. I always had more time for the really complex and nuanced arguments of the heavyweight writers anyway and I had the privilege of working with smart and level-headed activists when it came to actions. But, in the last few years… Read ⇢

  • The Accountant – how to deal with clients

    I instantly fell in love with Ben Affleck’s character Christian Wolff from the film The Accountant. Something about being awkward, fit and hot, plus having the exact same delay between shots he fires with his anti-aircraft rifle. But best of all, his client meetings. He is my new hero when it… Read ⇢
