I haven't revisited my stance on gun control since 2015. I still stand by my stance that I want responsible gun owners to be able to keep their guns, but my post from 2014 is now inaccurate. At the time, the latest data was from 2012. Well, the data has updated and I feel it… Continue reading Politics: Returning to Gun Control

Manners: Sidewalks & bicycles
GA law is clear (and this is apparently true in more places than not): Bicycles are not allowed on sidewalks. I disagree strongly with this law. For several reasons, but not the least is manners. Manner FOR cyclists, and manners FROM cyclists. I object because I think most people riding bikes (at least that I've… Continue reading Manners: Sidewalks & bicycles
Politics: Why aren’t we doing more?
I can't watch the news right now without being angry. I can't watch comedic sketches about the news without being angry. It is too exhausting to be angry all the time, but there is a part of my brain always ready to turn on that juice - it's just waiting for an outlet at all… Continue reading Politics: Why aren’t we doing more?
Happy 4th of July!!
I've gone through and highlighted some items I think are important to the current political conversation. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another… Continue reading Happy 4th of July!!
Politics: the GOP is an asshole boyfriend
Fair warning, I am going to use some foul language in this post. I have tried to take it out and I keep putting it back. It needs to be there. The language BELONGS in this post. When I was in college I dated a guy who did one thing consistently that drove me utterly… Continue reading Politics: the GOP is an asshole boyfriend
SCOTUS: Windbag
I haven't done a breakdown of a SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) in a while (they were poorly read so I haven't bothered with the research needed). BUT, I do still sometimes read opinions. And I just have to say Clarence Thomas is a windbag. He isn't stupid or anything, but I feel… Continue reading SCOTUS: Windbag
Politics: GA “Heartbeat” bill
I almost didn't publish this post. I'm nervous to post anything about this. But if I can't post this when I am on maternity leave - when can I? I am so ashamed of my state. I am ashamed of every representative who voted for this bill. I am ashamed of every voter who voted… Continue reading Politics: GA “Heartbeat” bill
Writing: Fanfiction or Not?
One of the blogs I really love is called QueryShark, an agent who will publicly dissect peoples' query letters and gives advice. And puts it online to help everyone else see what they did right/wrong in their query letters. I find it very informative! Most of the time there is an idea to be supportive… Continue reading Writing: Fanfiction or Not?
Politics: Mueller/Barr
Edit: You can read my thoughts below, but honestly I think this blog sums up a lot of my opinion really well: https://www.lawfareblog.com/how-understand-end-mueller-investigation-hint-you-cant-yet (I didn't read it until AFTER I had written the below) I haven't had a lot of time to process this yet, but I wanted to get some of my initial thoughts… Continue reading Politics: Mueller/Barr
Manners: Terry Crews’ tweet
This started flipping up every once in awhile on my screens late last week and at first I thought it was a one-and-done-gone-too-fast-to-even-consider kind of thing (you know, everything Trump these days). But it just kept popping up all weekend and I finally sat down and did some reading. And I have 2 thoughts on… Continue reading Manners: Terry Crews’ tweet
