Feminist Playlist Week 5
The last you'll hear from me, probably, because I only blog like 5 times a year and I've done that thus far this month. March has a 5th week, more of a half week, so you get 3 more songs (and maybe a bonus) Day 29
Feminist Playlist Week 4
We're almost there! Day 22: Shea Diamond - I Am Her There is an ethos that starts with the fact that women, cis and trans, aren't people. We have to argue for our humanity before we can even fight for equality. Intersectional feminism reminds that even
Feminist Playlist Week 3
Welcome to week 3! We are continuing into week 3 of the women's history month playlist (Week 1 and Week 2 if you're new here). This week has no theme. I tried to actually make each week have a theme but this one is more a
Feminist Playlist Week 2
Here is week 2! (If we need my raison d'etre, here is the link to week 1 post) Day 8 - International Women's Day Florence and the Machine - Everybody Scream This album was full of women power and scream and rage. And sometimes we need
Feminist Playlist: Week 1
Every March I put together a feminist playlist for Womens History month. Some years I get all 31 days; some months I don't. Some years there is a coherent theme; most years there is not. Last year, I got one together and it was rage but also joy
Sinners in the Hand of an Angry Paw
CW: God I've recently re-read all the Narnia books. I'm looking for copies as all I have is Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe (LWW) and I promise this will not become a rant on how angry I am about the death of mass market paperbacks. I'
New Title, No Resolution
Happy 2026! Well, as happy as it can be, I suppose. I've re-titled whatever this thing is because let's face it: I'm a mood reader. It's a terrible thing. I was very excited for I'll Make a Spectacle Of You
Beauty in the Broken Glass
This is the annual reflection post. I am writing this, drinking a cup of coffee, after preparing my house for the 5 or so inches of snow we're expected to get later today. Cleaning up the sides, sweeping the steps, taking out the trash so I don'
More MSG, Your Majesty
Back when I attended university at a small city on the edge of Los Angeles, just brushing the edges of the desert, redolent with orange groves, there was a Chinese restaurant we called No MSG. It had a large neon sign that said No MSG facing the parking lot, and
One Big Pile of...Stuff
This is a tax post. The one big beautiful bill, otherwise known as HR 1, has passed. It's a bad bill. Its harms most Americans and thoroughly takes from you to give to the wealthy. What it comes down to, is what happens next, especially for you? This
Histories Carried, Memories Remade
My son's face is settling into adulthood, a transformation that startles me daily, and I am thinking an awful lot about the past, about destiny, and about the histories we live in our bodies. I'm thinking about the obstinate set to his mouth that came from
OBB Student Loans Edition
Let's talk about how the OBB will affect student loan borrowers. The GOP wants to punish people who took out student loans. Bold thesis, let's start. Also the LA Times had an article about this, so I'm not that crazy. Numbers: * The outstanding student
