I started over the weekend trying to write about this opinion. I couldn't. I was too angry. My post was just angry. This decision was ugly and awful for a lot of reasons. And the one I AM going to talk about is the one which someone tried to use saying "it's just like Brown… Continue reading SCOTUS: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
Author: Librin Latone
Writer, nerd, and perpetual student. I am obsessed with books - both the reading and the making of them. If I won the lottery I would try to have the best private(ish) library in the world. It wouldn't be totally private because the whole purpose of having books is helping other people find a book they will love.
I have 2 cats, Genkii (energy) and Kawaii (cutie). I will mention them regularly because they are a daily delight in my life. Granted, sometimes when I'm playing video games they are not so much "delight" as they are "distraction"... but I love them regardless.
Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
This might be politics, it might be life events, it will contain some memories. I didn't post anything on any kind of social media for days about this because it was painful. I am going to begin by saying this: I went to a school with a shooting. I went to Heritage High School, which… Continue reading Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
Review: Media Bias Chart
This is a little different than my normal reviews. This is a review of a review (sort of). I have been watching/using this chart for several years now. The Ad Fontes media Bias Chart. Click here to look at the chart for yourself: https://adfontesmedia.com/ (I tried to link to the image but they have it… Continue reading Review: Media Bias Chart
Politics: Hiring Politicians
You know what I wish? I wish candidates couldn't know who else was in the running for a position. I wish we could treat politicians like we treat job candidates. When I interview for a job, I have no idea about the other candidates. I have no idea if they are older, younger, more or… Continue reading Politics: Hiring Politicians
Politics: Healthcare solutions I want
The big discussion on the left to implement universal (single-payer/government/whatever) healthcare does not address a few issues I have with the current system. This isn't to say there aren't valid argument in favor of universal (single-payer/government/whatever) healthcare, but this post I want to lay out some other aspects I believe need to be solved for.… Continue reading Politics: Healthcare solutions I want
Review: Iron Widow
I meant to review this awhile ago, but life got in the way. This has been sitting in my Drafts folder for too long. I really wish I could read this book a second time before I review it. There is a lot to chew on and I hope on a second reading I'll catch… Continue reading Review: Iron Widow
Life Events: Encyclopedia
I have encyclopedias that need a new home. A home that will love it as much as I do.
Manners: Tones Online
I keep reminding myself that, poll after poll, a majority of Americans SUPPORT mask and vax mandates, so (what small comfort this is), the whiny brats getting their way are the loud minority, not the majority. Ooof. A friend-of-a-friend (who I've never met) posted this on FB regarding masks in schools. The "brats" they are… Continue reading Manners: Tones Online
Life Events: Covid
My son has tested positive for Covid. He's been in daycare, so it isn't actually out of the blue, but it still feels sudden. I feel entirely unprepared. Fortunately, as reported, his symptoms are mild. He developed a low grade fever (right around 100F) Saturday which only reappears sporadically since then. He has a slight… Continue reading Life Events: Covid
Politics: Failure of the voters
This is a conversation I've been mulling on lately. The idea actually was seeded from an issue I've had at work my entire career. I'm in corporate training, and a wall I have bashed against many, many times is the "incentive issue." To give an example I think most people have experienced - you call… Continue reading Politics: Failure of the voters
