If someone comes to the blog that I run and have my name on (this one) and leaves a nasty comment, I can remove it. I'm not violating anybody's rights by taking down someone else's words on my website for any reason up to an including that I don't like them, because I own this… Continue reading On The Freedom of Speech

Piracy
So, romanticized, shirtless, sexy pirates with pet parrots and secret hearts shinier than all the gold in their treasure troves on Tortuga island? Great, we love them, more of that please. But book pirates? No thanks. To be clear: I have pirated things before, all sorts of media too--just so much stealing for one little… Continue reading Piracy
Targeted Ads Are Ruining My Life
That might sound like hyperbole, but oh my fucking god, just let me rant. I'm just going to lay it all out for you, Dear Reader, because I don't even care anymore, I am so over it: I can't get pregnant. I've both been trying and not (no medical intervention, it's complicated, don't preach to… Continue reading Targeted Ads Are Ruining My Life
The Thing Everyone Gets Wrong About Twilight
Disclaimer: I avidly hated Twilight back in college. I read about 70% of the first book, thought it was rubbish, and never looked back. I did not think it was shitty, however, because it was a love story, because it was about vampires, or because it was written for teenagers (specifically teenaged girls). Those are,… Continue reading The Thing Everyone Gets Wrong About Twilight
I Got A New Mug
The Association is out to beta readers and planned for a Halloween release! (That is, provided Amazon works with me. Sometimes books get stuck in approval and come out late if they're not set up for preorder which mine won't be, but we'll see!) Since Halloween is otherwise going to be a bit weird this… Continue reading I Got A New Mug
Crappy Content
Good is subjective. My good and your good are undoubtedly different. Good is also mutable. What I think is good today, I may hate tomorrow. Good is perhaps relative too. X is good compared to Y, but bad compared to Z. There are so many things that aren't good--my good, right now, in relation to… Continue reading Crappy Content
Questions On Georgia’s HB 481, The Heartbeat Bill
It's been a long time since I blogged, mostly because I have a lot of strong feelings about politics, but didn't want to share them here, so I said nothing. But this is my breaking point. Sorry, not sorry. I’ve wanted to have a baby for some time now. Husband and I have been married… Continue reading Questions On Georgia’s HB 481, The Heartbeat Bill
Big Feelings About Sportball
I have a connection to Ohio, and I went to THE Ohio State University (at Newark), but I care about football about as far as I can throw one (which isn't far). Husband, however, is more than marginally interested in the collegiate version of the sport, so I find out a lot of stuff tangentially.… Continue reading Big Feelings About Sportball
Things I Just Don’t Fucking Understand: Mom’s Memes
My mom has a folder of memes saved on her computer. If you noticed my absence the last week or two and happened to see my last post, Eulogy, you can probably put two together and figure out my grandma passed away recently. I traveled to New Hampshire for her funeral and to visit with… Continue reading Things I Just Don’t Fucking Understand: Mom’s Memes
Blogmas: Zoomas
It's December 3rd, and it's 80 degrees here in Hell, I mean, Florida. But that's actually kind of cool for the state average, if a bit warm for winter, so we went to the zoo today. It's adorable there and while I didn't get any good picture of the animals (I prefer to just enjoy… Continue reading Blogmas: Zoomas
