Laura is a freelance writer for TFLN. She likes to write about what she knows best — dating, sex, and being awkward, but usually in the opposite order. She is the Assistant Editor and videographer for Peach Fuzz, a sex-positive nudie magazine in ATX.
I once dated a guy that proclaimed that “cat calling” wasn’t a part of the patriarchy. HAHAHAHA — OKAY DUDE (we broke up shortly thereafter). When girls start going through puberty and walk down the street just as any regular human being would, men start harassing them with a disgusting fervor. It’s an assertion of […] More
Men have it pretty great in the modern world. We can thank the patriarchy for that one! Just kidding, f*ck the patriarchy. But there are some aspects of a man’s life that women just aren’t able to understand. I mean, I will never know what it’s like to have testicles that stick to my leg […] More
Waiters have to deal with an inordinate amount of sh*t on a daily basis. Middle aged cougars drinkin’ their pinot Grigio while yelling at you because you didn’t bring their side order of non-fat aioli? Check. Kids kicking and screaming and throwing rice all over the floor while you idly watch on with a smile […] More
Drugs are a hell of an invention — they make us feel better when we’re in pain, they take us to existential new levels of consciousness, and they make us say some of the most hilarious, ridiculous, and downright LOL-worthy things ever while we’re sitting high as a kite. Shouts out to all of the nurses […] More
You’re 12 years old. You’re waiting for the porn to load on your parent’s desktop computer as the image slowly realizes one pixel at a time. F*ck dial-up. Your friend sent you a link on your hotmail account and you sit patiently, awaiting the impending boobs that will bare before you. All of a sudden, […] More
Flying on an airplane is hard enough as a lowly coach passenger — with all of the annoying kids kicking and screaming, the less than desirable food and expensive drink options, and the endless waiting to board, take off, and wait for the lavatory. But have you ever stopped to wonder about the men and women […] More
We’ve all been there — you’re chatting up your crush in the middle of the hallway, doe-eyed and trying not to look like a serial killer, when you spew the most cringeworthy word vomit that has ever been uttered. “I WANT TO BE ON YOU!” Your crush recoils in fear/shock/confusion/annoyance as you try to make things […] More
Getting blackmailed isn’t always like the movies, but it still stings just as much as any Quentin Tarantino gangster flick. Sure — they might not be asking for millions of dollars or else they’ll murder you and your family, but having someone threaten to leak your nudes all over the internet might as well be a […] More
There are some things in life that bring the entire world together — emotions like joy, love, anger, sadness, and hope. But there are also the little things that everyone can relate to, but we don’t necessarily talk about them. Shouts out to all my peeps who know the feeling of going to wipe your ass […] More
In Saudi Arabia and other nations who incorporate some form of sharia, or Islamic law, people must abide by a certain set of rules based off the Quaran and the Hadith. And I’m not talking about your average run of the mill “don’t drink and drive” type of laws that we have here in the […] More
We all tell little white lies every now and then, but what happens when you get caught up in a lie so big, so enveloping, that if anyone found out you weren’t telling the truth — your whole life could be ruined. For some people, that little white lie starts out as something innocent enough — […] More
Ugh — being a good, normal human being and adhering to traditional roles and social expectations is the absolute worst. Like, I would rather gauge my eyes out than have to sit and mingle with well-to-do southern belles during the holidays or write thank you notes to 150 family acquaintances after graduating college. Getting sung “Happy […] More
