No offense to him, but Snorri Sturleson's parents must have known they were pigeonholing him into a life of the arts and assholery when they named him. I think that's just a given.

I’m Not Your Plot Device
Let's set the scene. You are a pretty good human. You've got the majority of essential human components, and they work within the bell curve of human normalcy. Your brain weasels are present but fairly well mannered, and your past, while clingy, usually just likes to go for walks or skips through the park. Most … Continue reading I’m Not Your Plot Device
Media Representation: The War for More
My neck is tired. I have been doing some full body eye-rolling lately. There is a war going on about where and when women and minorities can do cool stuff in public. And y'all?

How to Date Your Audience
Online dating is a strange place. It's like in-person dating, except that we self-select info to share outside of our looks and infectious laughter, which used to be enough in the olden-times, and while you don't have any immediate risk of physical interaction, cyber stalking is strangely encouraged--I can't tell you the times I've popped … Continue reading How to Date Your Audience

Goodbye, I’m Joining a Cult
Hello. The author you're seeking to contact is not here right now. Please leave your feedback at the beep. BEEP! Yes, y'all that's right. I have left and joined a cult.

Failing Is For Everyone!
We like to qualify failure. "You'can't fail if you try. If you get back up. If you persevere. If you learn something." The semantics police have the line between failing and not succeeding on lock down. But I'm here to politely request that folks stop tellin' me whether or not I've failed at something.
