I think if I were honest, this all started when some careless teen started using my email address. A couple of months ago, I started getting notifications that my application had been "received" by some university in the middle of...I want to say Oklahoma? After the heart palpitations subsided and I vehemently yelled "YOU CAN'T … Continue reading Pride Goeth Before the Weekend
Tread Hel-Way; Heaven Is Cloven
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. But before I tell you more about Snorri and his tales, check out the new digs! We have a new website now … Continue reading Tread Hel-Way; Heaven Is Cloven
Urban Fantasy is the Jeans of the Book World, and Also You Shouldn’t Yell At People.
You can't go around yelling CONSISTENCY at people, I've been informed, but I'm going to keep doing it anyway because I am nothing if not consistent. CONSTANT VIGILANCE is also good, and if that's what you want to yell at people when they least expect it, by all means. Live your best life. But I … Continue reading Urban Fantasy is the Jeans of the Book World, and Also You Shouldn’t Yell At People.
I'm really busy right now trying to poison my mom on an island of fire, so you'll have to forgive me for the short post. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, mom-figures and people with moms! What's that? Oh! I see your confusion. Yes, I'm drinking grown up orange juice with my mom on … Continue reading
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? If this is something we need to fight about, I don't need your peace. I am content with war, if my … Continue reading Media Representation: The War for More
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
Princesses Aren’t The Problem
If you want to come here and fight me about whether or not children can be princesses, you're gonna need an army. 'Cause this warrior queen ain't got time to joust every last White Knight trying to save us from...what? Ruling an entire kingdom? I love that everyone is so conscious about little girls getting … Continue reading Princesses Aren’t The Problem
A Little Honesty Definitely Hurts
This year is sprinting faster than I could have guessed. It's Easter next Sunday! What is going on? I am reviewing my resolutions, so that I have sufficient things to feel guilty about leading up to real start of spring. "Just A Taste" is still on the back burner, because I've been focusing on Blood And … Continue reading A Little Honesty Definitely Hurts
Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart
Vulnerability. The space that allows us to feel and connect to our fellow humans. The painful, chaotic emotion that links our internal life with our external one. It is sacred, a deep need to be one of the many in our world. This is why we watch shaky phone videos of people comforting strangers in … Continue reading Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart
