grow up or die

In Parable of the Talents, Octavia Butler writes: …Kindness eases Change.Love quiets fear. …Change is the one unavoidable, irresistible, ongoing reality of the universe. …(T)hat makes it the most powerful reality, and just another word for God.…It’s a hard truth. Too hard for some people to take, but that doesn’t make it any less true. …

pandemics make poor fodder for 42: a brief history of All The Things since March 2020

When I last left this blog, I was in the middle of Atheism for Lent, bleeding my thoughts onto the digital page as I processed everything I was reading, watching, listening to. I remember feeling as though I were in a good place in life. My writing was going well; we had recently gotten our …

i want to delete facebook but can’t; also, did you know i embroider now?

First off, you know that feeling when you get an inner urge to revamp your blog but when you go to do it you find that you’ve forgotten your password and when you click “forgot password” WordPress decides heyyo we’re not gonna send you one so you end up locked out of your blog whilst …

the definitive light-walkers post

That is a horrible title, but I don’t care. So, in cobbling together my previous post (and in trying to navigate the new UI of WordPress that has interloped since last I blogged [by Grabthar’s Hammer, I HATE new user-interfaces]), I realized that I’ve never really done a comprehensive post about the Light-Walkers universe. Doing …

the one where i don’t make wise choices sometimes

Dear Two Remaining Faithful Readers, I’m back. Sort of. Maybe. Long story short (too late), I have made the probably unwise choice of signing up for JuNoWriMo. It’s 99% like NaNoWriMo, except that it’s in June instead of November and it’s not affiliated with NaNoWriMo except for having gained permission to use the concept Mad …

reading and (w)riting, no ‘rithmetic

Last night, I wrote about my hope, my not-hope, and my forever-hope, all threaded through with the discouraging guanoshow that was 2016 A.D. Today, I turn my mind and heart to lovelier things. When it came to reading and writing, 2016 was one of my best years ever. đŸ™‚ On Reading in 2016 In 2016, …

my hair is turning green and I don’t care; also, book stuff!

Once upon a time, there was a writer who bleached the face-framing portion of her hair and then dyed that portion pastel blue. It lasted a couple of weeks, then faded. And it continued fading from bluish into the bleached blonde until the blue and yellow combo looked decidedly greenish. But it looked kind of …

ancient egyptians get sexy for #nationalpoetrymonth

Hile, lovelies, I’d been thinking I hadn’t blogged since January, and then I check and find that I last blogged in February. On Valentine’s Day, to be prezact. And it was my poetical ode to villains, which is extra appropriate to look back upon today. ‘Cause this post is gonna be POETRY Y’ALL. BANGERANG. So, …

a #talesfromblackfriday short story

Hidey-ho, lovelies! Today is so-called Black Friday here in the good ol’ USA, and I have many opinions about it. I shan’t delineate them all here. All I’ll say is that I’ve never participated in Black Friday, and I never plan to. Also, I wrote the following short story, the tone and content of which …

i write because mirrors have voices

Hile, inkslingers, ne’er-do-wells, and sundry, I’ve been neglecting the blog again of late. But I have good reason. A depression low-point struck, and I’ve been self-medicating with Netflix. Also, I was sick with another of my lovely sinus infections, so it’s taken me a bit to bounce back from that. But I’m trying to get …
