I wish the anger associated with the release of Brittney Griner from the Russian penal colony was less surprising. However, it is not. The last several years have made it very clear that expecting the best from humanity is rather pointless. The underlying rhetoric is that one American life has more value than another. That […]
That’s the word for how I feel. Elections in this time and in this country are about social issues more than anything else. Elections are about human rights. About the rights of women’s bodily autonomy. About the rights of the BIPOC community. About the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community. About freedom of faith and ideology. […]
With bated breath, I will spend my election day. With bated breath, I will wait to see if I should feel hopeful again. With bated breath, I will wait to see a glimpse of the future for this country. I’ll be honest. I have little hope this morning. I’ve seen too much over the last […]
There was time when I was fully committed to blogging. I’ve never been able to get that back. At first, it was because I went back to school, and I got busy. Then it was just pure stress, as I tried to finish my last semester while caring for my mother, who was dying of […]
I just watched an interview on TV with Jenna Ryan, the twatwaffle realtor from Frisco who got busted for her part in last year’s insurrection. She’s the one that tweeted, pre-sentencing… “Sorry, I have blonde hair, white skin, a great job, a great future, and I’m not going to jail,” Then she was sentenced to […]
Let me preface this… I’m solidly pro-choice. Solidly. I don’t judge you if you don’t want abortions, and I don’t judge if you choose to have one. I 100% support YOUR CHOICE! Texas is a hypocritical, GOP suckhole. A statement that largely holds true for ALL GOP-led states. “My body, my choice.” The anti-masker/anti-vaxxer types […]
I’m starting to regret getting back into blogging. Or at least visiting other blogs other than a selected few. I keep having the misfortune of running into some seriously effed up shit. I just stumbled onto a post that the author prefaced with a statement about how loving and open-minded they are. Okay, cool. Then […]
I inadvertently fell down a rabbit hole this morning, just by reading an about-me style page. It was less a biography and more of a slide down into a conspiracy-theory and hate-filled hole in the ground. There was an entire diatribea bitter and abusive speech or piece of writing (a better word there isn’t to describe it) […]
As I’ve talked about before, the last several years have really shaken my faith in humanity. Even after living for four years with him in office, it still shocks me that 45 was ever elected. It shocks me that so many people bought into his rhetoric, no matter how vile, bigoted, and hateful it was. […]
Bin Laden is dead. Some part of me never really thought that would ever happen. It goes against most everything I believe in to celebrate a death, but in many ways, I do. There were so many lost on that fateful day, and on the days since. Friends, family, brothers and sisters in arms. It’s […]
