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 […]
Sometimes I look at a person (literally and figuratively) and wonder just what the ever lovin’ fuck they are thinking. Today it was a figurative look. An unexpected friend request on Facebook waited for me this morning when I logged on. It was from someone I haven’t spoken to in over 12 years. It was […]
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 about to be spicy. If that’s not your jam, move along. I’m not here to play today. It’s utterly mindboggling to me that we are almost eighteen months into a global pandemic, and the same asinine rhetoric is still being spewed, with new asinine rhetoric added to the mix practically every damn day. It […]
a little bit of backstory So WAY back in a day, before electricity and wheels the internet and cell phones, I was a teenager. It was 1988, an era of neon, hair bands, Walkmans, and Swatches. I was a senior in high school and in the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) for the US Army Reserves. […]
To say that I have bizarre dreams is an understatement to say the least. Years and years of bizarre dreams. Which makes me wonder… what the hell is going on in my subconscious?! There have been a ton of scientific studies on sleep and dreaming. It’s been shown that our brains need time to process […]
