In which it’s nearly X-mas! The tree’s up, there are lights around the windows. I’ve done all my shopping, wrapping, and shipping for the year. Cards have been sent. We’ve received a single Christmas card — it’s on the table. Thanks, Polt! — and a gift from my aunt, a cooler full of frozen Omaha […]
In which this just popped into my head. There are two ways to die: suddenly, or expectedly. There are two ways to die: right now, or later. There are two ways to die: consciously, or unconsciously.
In which I can’t believe this nitwit is the president. Misspelled?! Zero chemistry with Putin?! Russia can greatly help?! The dangerous North Korea crisis?! Trump is an imbecile.
In which I wonder. It’s still fashionable to say things like this: Veterans used to be those who went out and fought and suffered to protect human rights. It was clear you were on the right and proper side if you were a U.S. vet and fought in one of the world wars. Now, they […]
In which I’m suddenly freezing! I don’t know if it’s being old, being fat, being pre-menopausal, or what, but my body’s not very good at temperature regulation anymore. I’m either way too hot or freezing; either opening windows and taking off socks and running fans, or layered up under a blanket. Fun with embodiment, I […]

I know I’ve said this before, but the problem with anxiety and panic is this: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. In the same way, being deeply […]
In which I wrote this as a response to a friend’s post on Facebook and am re-posting it here because I can. So my dear friend posted this link on her feed: And I read it and wrote this response: Well-written, sure, but would have been more powerful with actual examples of actual men in […]
In which I respond to a Twitter thread I read earlier. Everybody baggin’ on Millennials for still living at home, not earning, not taking all those jobs. Well, fuck that. I’m not a Millennial; I’ve been working for decades. I’m making now what I made when I started working in the early 90’s – my […]
In which I was serially sexually abused as a child by a slightly older male relative. So, yeah, #metoo. Me, too. My perpetrator even went to prison for it. (Not for me, but for others, later.) I honestly don’t think it affected me in any measurable way. I was never hurt or damaged. For years […]
