Reader. Writer.Tax Fellow. Mom. One day, I'll finish this manuscript.
In the time since the end of the feminist play list posts, I have started about three posts and not finished them. Some of it has been time. Personally, this past year, things have been hectic (in one month, we had a dislocated knee; norovirus; several car issues; a death
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
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
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

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
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'
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
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
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
