current events; also, stereoscopic vision really freaks me out sometimes

The second half of this entry’s title was a note I emailed to myself more than 3 years ago under subject “blog not tweet.” Actually, the email’s subject line reads, “blog not twwet,” but Ima chalk that up to typo-ing. As it turns out, there are twelve emails nested under that subject, so I’m sharing …

these are the truths

Every time I clean, I lose things. Organized chaos tells me exactly where things are. I try not to get too philosophical about this. Living my faith is harder for me than giving faith up. I am more aware now of the reality of my privilegedness than I ever have been in my life. Chocolate-flavored …

it’s the end of the world as we know it

let’s chorusline.

In related news, this week the USA elected as president a man who has zero political experience, and I heard the phrase “every V.I.P. has to V.I.Poo,” so I’m pretty sure the apocalypse is nigh.

I have the hiccups.

that moment when kid quotes

that moment when your husband points out to you that the strangely liquidy laundry soap you’ve been washing clothes in for a week is actually fabric softener

well, that explains a lot

In Other News

4yo: You be Twilight Sparkle, and I’ll be Nightmare Moon.

Me: Well, Twilight Sparkle reads books, so let’s go read some books.

4yo: And Nightmare Moon kills people, so let’s go kill some people.

4yo: Mama, you are a normal person.

Me: Thank you, so are you. What does normal mean?

4yo: It means that you’re alive.

social media away message

I posted a version of this on Facebook this morning. CLARIFICATION I don’t hate any one person. I don’t hate any group of people. I don’t hate any demographic. I don’t hate. I feel angry. I feel hurt. I feel concerned — not for myself, not for any religious institution, not for so-called “religious freedom,” …

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 …

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
