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
The Tide
Why is it a race to as many books as possible? Why isn't it a race to the best books possible? (I mean, I know why: money. We need it to survive. This is just a general spewing of thoughts...) This is something I am struggling with, and I want to understand and accept, and… Continue reading The Tide
Getting There
I've rewritten this blog about four times this morning because I've got the desire to put some feelings out there, but I'm not sure what those even are. I woke up about an hour ago with this overwhelming wave of melancholy that I need to rinse off with words. Cast off the ick, throw it… Continue reading Getting There
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
Moving, Vaccine, Writing, Oh, My…
We moved. Again. It has been a struggle. I hate moving. I think most people do. I've made light of it in the past, and I think these are some of my best blogs, but these last two times have taken something out of me that I'm not sure I can get back. You know… Continue reading Moving, Vaccine, Writing, Oh, My…
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
Things I Just Don’t Fucking Understand: People Who Hate Recipe Blogs
I want to be real clear right up front here: this blog is not about hating recipe blogs. You know those pastel-colored, swoopy-fonted blogs that it's been super trendy to talk shit about for the last couple years where Jill, mom, wife and Christian from St. Paul, Minnesota titles a post "Vegan Friendly, Gluten-Free Banana… Continue reading Things I Just Don’t Fucking Understand: People Who Hate Recipe Blogs
Meditate
I lost my internet connection in the middle of today's yoga session, so today I meditated on how much Comcast sucks. Really though, isn't it sort of insane that, in this country, there are so many monopolies? Of course they're not literal monopolies, not legally defined as monopolies, but there are so many massive conglomerates… Continue reading Meditate
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
