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 …

atheism for lent, day ten: how the gods grow

atheism for lent, day four: addendum (i.e. a poem)

If you’ve been following along, dear inklings — and I know you have, because that’s just the sort of lovelies you are — you know that I am in the midst of my SECOND journey through Atheism for Lent. I took copious notes (as I am wont to do) during AfL2019; and so, when I …

Well, I’ve missed a few weeks again of blogging here. It’s because late July through end of August kinda kicked my tushie. The kid was sick. I was sick. The two of us went on a last-minute mini-vay with my mom. The kid started 1st grade. (WHAT MANNER OF INSANITY IS THIS.) I got sick …

my light-walkers universe timeline

This post is nothing more than me geeking out over my own storyverse. I indulged a bit a few weeks ago when I blogged about all the stories in the Light-Walker universe thus far, as well as the LW stories I have in mind for the rest of my natural life (and maybe beyond; we’ll …

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 …
