Everyone has their own unique relationship with their online accounts and figuring out what you want to have happen with them is a highly personal matter. If you do not have a clear set of wishes it will be left to chance who gets access to your accounts and what is to be done with them.
Discussing the matter directly as apart of your living will is ideal but it does not need to be so formal. Bring up the subject the next time a big celebrity bites the bullet or while watching a black comedy or your favorite bad zombie film.
Ask your friends what they want to see happen once they have croaked. Do they want a digital memorial staffed by loved ones or estranged family members for eternity or do they want it all gone.

Hosted by prolific writer and online personality Mur Lafferty, Escape Pod’s weekly free podcast produces some of the best short story readings available. The show was begun in 2005 by Steve Eley and has spawned two sister podcasts: Pseudopod (Horror) Castle Pod (Fantasy).
Stories presented on Escape Pod generally stick to traditional Science Fiction but over the years it has offered many genre bending readings that focus on the art of engaging story telling no matter what the setting.

All the books I read, especially the one’s by Judy Blume centered on some young protagonist whom felt they were different than everyone around them. I picked several favorites and read and reread them over and over savoring the outsider tales identifying with them deeply.
If I had come across a book like Love Drugged during my early days of sexual awareness it would of been apart of the books I read again and again.

Popular media claims that that one of Gen- Y’s defining characteristics is the fact that they are the first generation of Digital Natives. This is a fine misconception since the actual original explorers of digital sexual exploration like it in the shadows. Trolls like dark places. Internet Trolls especially.

The Ali Forney Center the organization, it’s namesake and founder are the true heroes of this erotic retelling of the He-Man myth.
The center established in 2002 after the tragic murder of artist performer Ali Forney in 1997 has been providing much needed resources to homeless LGBTQ youth in the form of specialty shelters and an outreach drop in center.
The short life violent death of Ali Forney is an important story which serves to highlight the issues common to homeless in urban areas, the brutal violence often inflicted upon members of the LGBTQ community and the power of one person to help make a difference.
