This isn't going to be a true review. This IS however a HUGE recommendation for their podcast this week. I listened to it this morning on my walk and... I might have freaked out another walked coming towards me at one point when I did the double-hands "yes, that!" gesture. I looked up a little… Continue reading Review: Freakonomics
Politics: School ReOpening
I work in corporate education. I have trained soft skills (customer service, management, and HR compliance training *shudders*) and I have trained "hard skills" in IT. I LOVE teaching Microsoft Excel certification training. Word is number two. Excel is probably my favorite because when people can use Excel, they almost universally like the application they… Continue reading Politics: School ReOpening
Life Memories: John Lewis
I was in college when I first learned about John Lewis. I was doing some research regarding Georgia history and the civil rights movement (specifically some cases which started in Georgia). My professor made a comment about "Representative Lewis" and I blinked. It rocked me mentally to realize that someone still alive (and honestly not… Continue reading Life Memories: John Lewis
Review: Blueland
I do not have the same adversity to advertising some people do. I don't like intrusive ads, but sometimes an ad points me to a product I wouldn't have known of otherwise. Such was the case with Blueland. I was on Facebook and I just kept seeing this ad for reusable soap dispenser. It is… Continue reading Review: Blueland
Gaming: Microtransactions
There is a lot of conversation in the video game industry on this topic, and I have somewhat mixed thoughts on it. You have seen them, I can almost promise you this. You don't have to be a hardcore gamer to know what I'm talking about. I use the mobile world first because I think… Continue reading Gaming: Microtransactions
Listening is hard
I wrote about this just the other week and then I had to live it. I listen to The Bulwark Podcast regularly. Not every day, but it is something to listen to while I'm cooking dinner and it makes me think. It also engages me with more conservative thought without being Trump supporters (Sykes might… Continue reading Listening is hard
SCOTUS: Bostock v. Clayton County
Oh My GOD. This opinion is amazing. If you have trouble reading legal opinions, I have a new source I'm recommending - a real lawyer reading it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETB2AsBakAE So firstly, GORSUCH wrote this opinion. Trump's first appointee is not as horrible as I had feared. I am stilled pissed Merrick Garland wasn't voted on -… Continue reading SCOTUS: Bostock v. Clayton County
Politics: “Defund” Slogan
I debated all weekend whether I wanted to touch this with a hundred foot poll. I saw posts ranging from "All taxes are theft anyway, so stop paying the police" (I stopped reading here and did NOT click "show more..." to see the entire thread) to "police are all bad apples and it all needs… Continue reading Politics: “Defund” Slogan
Life: Quarantine Life
Life is full of stress right now. I am fighting my anxiety basically daily, like pretty much everyone else. I am avoiding the news for the most part because I want to hear something that is NOT "the world is ending." So I am trying to cope. I am cleaning my kitchen a LOT. I… Continue reading Life: Quarantine Life
Review: The Belgariad
My brother gave me these books by David Eddings when I was in middle school and they are an old favorite. With everything going on in the world, I have been struggling to read. This is breaking my heart, but it's true. My brain just can't process new things from books right now. New worlds… Continue reading Review: The Belgariad
