Well, we're halfway through the year and it's arguably been one of the worst ones for the US in a while. We're utterly falling apart, treating our fellow humans like animals, and being "oligar-culled" as I've just started saying meaning a few really wealthy assholes are gleefully wishing many of us to our deaths so… Continue reading 2025 Mid-Year Update

Fall 2024 Update
It's been quite some time since I've posted much about me, so I'm just going to dump here along with some bookish updates because screaming into the void of my blog used to help immensely long ago when I had no one to talk to, so let's see if it does the trick again! The… Continue reading Fall 2024 Update
A Heartfelt Thank You
As January wraps up, I am finally getting to the blog post I intended to make at the end of December for the same reason only it's even more now. December 2022 was my best month career-wise. In my personal life, not so much, I want to make that abundantly clear, but strictly speaking about… Continue reading A Heartfelt Thank You
Everything’s Gonna Be Good Now, Right?
New year, new expectations. Everything's back to zero: page reads, orders, attempts at doing a new thing. January 1st is so full of opportunity, it's practically debilitating. But it's just another day. And just another year. You can start anytime you want, this is all arbitrary, but I am doing a little reset for myself.… Continue reading Everything’s Gonna Be Good Now, Right?
State of the AKC 2022
No, not the American Kennel Club. Me. If Sanderson can do this, so can I. (Well, okay, that is a gross overstatement, I just mean I can attempt anything he does because why not?) First, A Retrospective What did I even do in 2022? Well, I actually had to go and look, and it turns… Continue reading State of the AKC 2022
Letting Go of Someday
I've been boxing things up for a move. I am so good at this, Dear Reader, it is practically criminal. But there are still some things I fail at because I'm human, and being human sucks. So I have a couple stacks of boxes I never unpacked. Most of them were taped up in September… Continue reading Letting Go of Someday
Maybe I’m Awful
Maybe I'm delusional, maybe I suck, maybe I should stop. These are the thoughts. They're the worst thoughts. They feel heavy and burdensome and intense. Some days they're very quiet though, and I like those days. Other days they're like that gas-powered leaf blower that your neighbor just bought and loves more than his wife… Continue reading Maybe I’m Awful
It’s Been Some Time
July and August have sort of sucked. There's no sugar coating any of it. I've tried to stay active in some ways, and I've totally receded from others. All of it has been in an attempt to cultivate a presence that's sustainable and useful here on internet-land, but it's been hard. I miss blogging, but… Continue reading It’s Been Some Time
Blogaversary
Today's my 13 year WordPress anniversary. Wild. I don't think I have blogs going back that far here, but I've been using this account on WordPress for at least that long. And let me tell you, 2009 was a very different time on the internet. Now, I don't want to do a "back in the… Continue reading Blogaversary
Bye February, Hello Rest of ’22
The last day of February always comes too soon. I wrote earlier that February was more like my beginning of the year, and that still feels true as March is on its way in. Tomorrow I head to the DMV for a new license in a new state, and that's always both exciting and exhausting.… Continue reading Bye February, Hello Rest of ’22
