Hello! I'm Claire, a writer and poet living in Los Angeles, and this is L.A. Jayne - a girly repository for all of my thoughts. I write about sex and queerness in life, art, and culture, and also about navigating women's health (with chronic pain) in the hellscape that is the U.S. health care system. Come for the rants, stay for the heartfelt essays and practical advice. I also have killer taste in movies.
