Yep, I said it.  I hate the holiday, even despite the pretty awesome and radical roots of it. I spent the entire day sobbing, looking up adoption stories, and eating boxed macaroni and cheese.  Because, you know, you probably would, too, if you had an (almost) eleven year old out there and if no one [...]

Hug Machine is perhaps the funniest shit ever. I was introduced to it by a Livejournaler a few years ago, and I still damn near piss myself laughing every time I read it. In it’s entirety: hug machine i see you across the street in the library at a Starbucks or at an emo concert [...]

Mentally and physically fatigued. Mt. Holly has been good for one major thing: giving me distance from my life. I’ve been able to force myself to sit back and rationally map out some parts of my life. Of course, this hasn’t helped me to accomplish much of anything. I need to begin forcing myself to [...]

I have so much shit going on right now. I’m trying to organize a donation drive with The Feminist Forum for Common Ground Collective. So far, I’ve gotten some responses on it. I’m hoping we can send down a nice-sized donation because I really want the community to get more involved with activism, even if [...]
