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.
Sometimes you take a photo and the lighting’s just right, you look bomb AF — BUT — there’s an awkward bro in the background or your friend’s eyes are closed or you wish you looked just a tiny bit more tan. Lucky for you, a little magical app exists that can help fix all of your aesthetic […] More
Call it what you want — fate, luck, an unexplainable coincidence— but there are some moments in life that seem to defy all odds and logic. When things happen that can’t exactly be worked out in your head using your very sound and not at all erratic reasoning, you start to wonder if there could be […] More
People, and women especially, are constantly bombarded with clothing and beauty advertisements aimed at making us feel bad about ourselves. Maybe if we bought THOSE jeans or took THAT diet pill or used THESE certain makeup brushes — we’d finally be beautiful. Young and impressionable adolescents look at these ads that fill the streets, TVs, and […] More
Meeting celebrities in real life can be a hit or miss. Like, if I ran into Colin Firth and said hello (while fumbling over words and tripping over my shoes) and he said hello back — then my life would be complete. If I accidentally bumped into T-Pain and callously sang “don’t worry” and that I’d […] More
Vaginas are wonderful — they’re self-cleaning, they facilitate babies being born, and they feel really f*cking great when things are consensually and passionately put, throbbed, thrusted, maneuvered, flicked, swiveled, and pressed into them. They expand when aroused and they also do some pretty crazy sh*t. No vagina is the same, just as not every woman’s personality […] More
Getting lost in a museum for a day in a foreign city has such magical allure. People pass by, fawning and contemplating and soaking in centuries-old art just as people have been doing for days and years and decades before them. For one photographer, though, he’s less intrigued by the works themselves and more enveloped […] More
I don’t always shake my head in fear and run in the opposite direction, but when I do I’m usually faced with a hoard of baby roaches crawling around in my bathroom OR when I’m looking over a cliff’s ledge that could be my untimely demise. Who ever thought tightrope walking across a canyon was […] More
Aw, Tinder — a land of promise and potential baes, casual sex, cocktail hour drinks, and the most derogatory, sexist bullsh*t known to womankind. I don’t know what it is about an online dating platform that makes dudes feel like they can do anything and say anything, but this sh*t has got to stop. And I’m […] More
Not all d*cks are created equal — that’s a fact. And while society, porn, and the mainstream media might tell us that bigger is always better when it comes to penis size, that’s definitely not the case — especially when a vagina isn’t wet enough or tended to or ready for the monster shlong. Size queens do exist […] More
For a lot of people, it’s hard to look at our parents as anything else but the adults who reared us and made us eat our peas and who still help us pay our phone bills (thanks mom!) and who never did anything cool or crazy or ridiculous because now they are settled and reserved […] More
Sure, not all people over the age of 50 are completely out of touch with social media and technology, but a large portion of them are. Just ask my dad. He once commented “like” under a picture I posted on Facebook three years ago. Bless that man’s heart. Millennials may feel an innate sense of […] More
Adopting a pet from a shelter not only brings the animals an exorbitant amount of joy and love — it also fills their forever humans with the same transcendent happiness. If you’re like me, then you probably want to adopt every single animal that ever existed while walking through the sad and lonely cages of strays […] More
