Okay. okay, hold on to your hats cats and kittens, we are about to have another feminist rant. This spawns from a Facebook thing between the lovely women at Rock The Slut Vote and another well written fellow feminist Wendy Gittleson, who wrote a blog about the use of the words slut and vagina. She …

Saturday my friend Sara O’Flaherty challenged me, along with several others to do a “who am I” meme blog. I thought it would be fun to accept. I’m thirty years old. There were earthquakes on my birthday. It was a sign that this decade is going to be sheer awesome. I’m a writer and handler …

I’m a creature of the internet, and the internet is full of many many lessons. Everyone is a moron, aside from you. Sometimes this feels very true, like when you see people arguing against evolution or global warming. There are so many times that I want to tell people that they are wrong and outline …

This is a quickie for the day. I attending a barbeque and don’t have much time. I love you cats, but someone is offering to feed me food cooked on an open flame. Food AND fire, that is a guaranteed good time. So I am thinking about starting a new section on my site where …

I believe that most normal people are good. I believe our bad behaviors are taught and thrive on fear. I believe in living balls-out like it all matters. I believe that not trying/doing/loving/giving/being for fear of pain hurts someone more than failure and heartbreak. I believe our basic goodness, if embraced, can overwhelm those without …

The past several days have been a complete loss for me. Ihave done stuff, but mosty, the stuff I did just interrupted the sleeps I had. I got home from Tina’s house and turned into a cat. It has been sort of glorious. Hell, if I didn’t have to cook dinner after I wrote this, …
