Quick and Dirty Polyamory 101
Quick and Dirty Polyamory 101 As a confirmed polyandrist of 30 years, I am often asked questions about polyamory, especially since I am very open with it. I generally direct people to read the Ethical Slut, which remains the seminal text on the subject. Tomato of Justice is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts […]
Chapter 1
Book 1 : Childhood Early Days I’ve tried to start this thing so many times, cajoling, persuading, teasing and outright forcing myself to write. None of it has worked. I would dream about the times I would finally get started, and the words would flow like water, and I would recount triumphs and tragedies both, […]
Chapter 3
America I have often wondered what would have happened if we had not gone to America. You most certainly would not be reading this. I would have been a completely different person. Suffice to say that it changed my life forever. Why would an Asian woman from Singapore go halfway around the world and bring […]
Chapter 2
The Happiest Family In Sanc Ville Which is what my mother called us, and for a time I think it was very true. From seven to ten I was really very happy. There were still tears and fears, disappointments and upsets, but on the whole it was a good time – quite possibly the best […]
America, Day 17
Felt pretty good today. I think I am shedding the idea that writing has got to be this incredibly emotional endeavor involving blood, sweat and random inspiration. You just have to get out of yourself and your head and let it flow. Easier said that done, but also easier done than said. I sort of […]
Welcome
Hi, this is my little corner of the Web. I hope you are alternately entertained and enlightened as best as I can possibly manage. Who am I? My real name is Tai An Zhou. I’m a writer, a poet, a singer, a translator, a cosplayer, a HUGE anime and video game fan, voice actor, an […]
America, Day 12
America, Day 12 Woke up early because I slept early, starting writing more blog posts. These things don’t write themselves! FInding it easier and easier to write now I’m getting into a habit of doing it practically every day at regular times. There is something to be said for internalization. Still sometimes haunted, still wish […]
America, Day 11
Another fortuituous day, May Day. Time for church, which I was quite looking forwards to. I never thought the day would come that I would actually be LOOKING FORWARDS TO GOING TO CHURCH. But then again that was before I discovered a church like this. The sermon was on pornography. I really admire the minister […]
America, Day 10
America, Day 10 Woke up to a beautiful morning and…more problems with the Internet. Sigh. Perhaps Wi-Fi really IS the bottom rung of Maslow’s pyramid. It seems we can get little done without it. More reflection, of the good kind this time. Much deep pain is being cleansed on this trip and I can feel […]
America, Day 6
America, Day 6 Woke up at 4:30, having slept at 10 or so the night before. I sense this is going to be a pattern in the USA for me. But it at least allows me to write my blog so it’s all good. Nothing much planned for today, which is a change. May decide […]
