About Twisty

Twisty Faster, a non-straight, non-lesbian, non-bi, non-trans white atheist spinster aunt, has been bloviating about feminist issues since the last century. She became an Internet Feminist in 2004. The offices and laboratories of Spinster Aunt HQ are located at El Rancho Deluxe, a small wildlife preserve in picturesque Cottonmouth County, Texas. A branch office of Spinster Aunt HQ on the remote desert Savage Death Island is devoted specifically to the pursuit of feminist anarchy in an idyllic, non-heteronormative, dude-free environment.

When she isn’t looking after two dogs, three horses, and one mother, Twisty biffs off to Austin to cram in some Home Slice pizza and do the butt-dance with her nieces Finn and Rotel. Her other interests include melancholy photography, looking at wild animals through binoculars or magnifying glasses, Number 1 Science Information, and crispy foods.

Twisty was over-educated in the dude-centric humanities in Dallas and St. Louis. She has worked as an office temp, a clean-up woman in a mobile home factory, a bartender, a scenester, a restaurant critic, a rock star, and a breast cancer patient. She has a sibling named Tidy, a sidekick named Stingray, a secretary named Phil, and a ranch hand named Chuck. The chef position is still open.

Twisty is roughly half a century old.
