GOD save us from YOUR FOLLOWERS

That was the very first bumper sticker I ever put on my car... let's say, almost two decades ago. Out of all the packers, rainbows, wigs, and glitter in that little LGBTQ shop, that was the item I ultimately came away with. It said everything I needed to

Throwback Something

As the WordPress environment is set aflame by one guy throwing a tantrum and lawyers sending each other strongly worded leaflets, I'm just sitting here glad that I made the switch to ClassicPress months ago. And, not for the first time, I noticed a trend in my social

One Degree (Mourning and Resolution)

I'm still trying to break free of the notion that I gotta have a long 500-word-count-MLA-essay for it to be blog-worthy. Content Warning for suicide mention (and to say: I am fine. Just saddened.) I first read about it in other statuses since we travel in similar circles

What I Should Have Sent

I may have been a little too excited in firing off a hasty fangirl-y email to an address that probably isn't even monitored anymore, but I was so happy that I found the site I've been alluding to since college. All I had to do, all

Checking up On Him

It's not often I am transported back to High School on a good memory. But with this album, I am. On some weekends with my two best friends, we'd pile up in the car and go see a show. It was typically down to Orlando, about
