I read this comic this week: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3837 (and if you don't read QC - you should!) And I don't want to talk about the content per say - but rather when it's time to remove yourself from a bad spot. I definitely had that in 2 jobs. I knew things were turning sour and I couldn't see… Continue reading Manners: Remove Thyself!
Politics: Why I believe in legislation
I don't believe legislation is the fix for everything, but I think it can help. Specifically, when we are talking about the current beloved topic of "legislating morality." And this isn't simple to me - I have struggled a lot with the abortion topic over the years. So setting that one aside (It'll have to be another… Continue reading Politics: Why I believe in legislation
Manners: Pictures
Millennials hate getting their pictures taken. I know this isn't 100% true but the number of my peers who say "I hate getting pictures taken of myself" seems to vastly outnumber those who get excited (or hell even tolerate it). I have no idea if there are actual statistics on this. I know I get to see… Continue reading Manners: Pictures
Life Events: Announcement!
I have literally composed and re-composed this post at least three times. I don't know how to say this. It's much more "personal" than I usually post, but it's too big not to post (and might impact posts down the line) so.... Yeah. That's mine. Right now it's tiny. Hell, in 7 more months it will… Continue reading Life Events: Announcement!
Review: Shopping eShakti
So this is NOT a book review - it's a review of an online shopping site called eShakti. I have looong avoided buying clothes online. My luck with places like Wish or Amazon or even "traditional" stores like Macy's or JCPenny was awful. Mostly misses and rarely hits. And returns.... ugh! So when my Facebook began… Continue reading Review: Shopping eShakti
Politics: Memorial to McCain
I didn't want to post while the emotions raged, but I DO want to talk about John McCain. For as long as I can remember - and as long as I've been voting (2004 was my first Presidential election), John McCain has been on my list of Senators I respect - even when I don't… Continue reading Politics: Memorial to McCain
History: Labor Day
I grew up being told Labor Day was started to honor workers and the rights fought for. This isn't 100% true and I didn't know this until relatively recently. In one my searches to argue with someone on the internet I ended up looking at https://www.dol.gov/general/laborday/history and finding out that probably isn't true. So the holiday… Continue reading History: Labor Day
Writing: Novel in Progress Part 3
Part 1: Writing: damnit! Part 2:Writing: Novel In Progress Part 2 Chapter 2 Talia looked around the room where she waited while Goodla checked the other rooms for dangers and traps. She wandered, looking at the furnishings - so unlike anything she was used to. The multi-legged ogalla rarely bothered with furniture anything like this. As… Continue reading Writing: Novel in Progress Part 3
Writing: Agency
I was trolling through YouTube and stumbled across this video about Phantom Menance and because I love burning buildings, I watched it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUzr5JW3fSk Here's the thing, it does a GREAT job of breaking down the plot issue that plagues this disaster of a movie. My mind (ever narcissistic) went "whew, glad I don't do that!" And then… Continue reading Writing: Agency
Addendum: Why N.K. Jemisin is amazing
So if you haven't gone and watched it yet - you need to see N.K. Jemisin's speech at the Hugo's - I teared up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lFybhRxoVM Ok, can I grow up and be just like her?!?!? Also - can I look that good in gold and black (gold doesn't generally work on me, I have too much… Continue reading Addendum: Why N.K. Jemisin is amazing
