A Little Inspiration

I'm in a great mood this morning, and I'm doing #FantasyIndiesJune on Twitter (I did okay-ish in May), and I've probably already shared this quote before, but I'm doing it again. My view on these lines from Howl's Moving Castle are steeped in an overall feminist reading (sorry, not sorry, can't help it). This could… Continue reading A Little Inspiration

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

Losing

Four years ago when I woke in the wee hours of the morning after the 2016 presidential election to find out Donald Trump had been called as the winner and the House and Senate both went red, I sobbed.

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

Women are only "mysterious" because when we don't want the thing that men think we should want,… Continue reading Success Is A Fuckboi

A Conversation With Marlow

I had to go to the post office today, so I walked from home to Husband's work to have lunch with him first. Both his work and the post office are about a mile and a half from home through the city, and it's legitimately easier and faster to walk than drive (plus bonus steps).… Continue reading A Conversation With Marlow

Nothing In Between

I unabashedly label myself a feminist. I’ve experienced some terrible treatment due to my gender, including when I was pretty young, but I know I’ve grown up in what is historically one of the best countries/times for women, so I’ve been wondering how I became so passionate. Injustice has always bothered me, and there’s never really… Continue reading Nothing In Between
