Asking
Ya know, if I had like, $7000, my whole entire life would be different. I wonder what it was like centuries ago when there were patrons supporting artists. Should I finish The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer? I keep thinking magical thoughts. Like, "Maybe seven thousand people will give me a dollar." That's how it works, right, Amanda? I only read the first part. Okay, I only read the cover. At the bookstore and I didn't buy the…
Throwback Thursday: 1990'ish
I don't have my college yearbook, in fact I'd never even seen one. But Lisa brought hers to our 20th reunion in 2012, and this picture was in it -- the drama club officers. It's Edwardyne, me and Amy. Eddie was also my Junior Sister through a buddy program CNR came up with for incoming Freshmen.The photographer had us pose (awkwardly, if memory serves) at the bottom of the steps that, in those days, arc'ed up to the cafeteria an…
Recipe: Garden Pizza
Yesterday Joe posted on Facebook about the pizza I made for dinner. People were all "wow!" over how good it looks. But really no need to "wow" this one, guys!

I wrote up a Quick Version of a garden pizza, and further down there's a more detailed explanation if you've litera…
Operation: Organize
Alright everyone. We have reached the final frontier. Today it's time to go deep into my studio. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in volume. I've had bags and boxes Tetris 'ed in here for years, and I've just hauled everything out and now you can't see the living room anymore. Cover me, I'm goin' in...∎ 🎮 Here, let me Google that for you...
I Googled Myself And This Is What I Found (It's Not Good)
" OH DEAR GOD. Never Google yourself."
That's what I wrote under "Write a Review" on an archive site I discovered this week. On this site, someone had posted the Spring 1990 issue of our college Honors newsletter, a quarterly called Femmes d'esprit . Spring '90 was the second issue after I became the Editor. The previous editor, Stacy, had gone off to Europe on a semester abroad. While I was envious of all the girl…
Let Them Wear Buns: A Feminist Opinion In Favor of the "Manbun"
If you're a card-carrying feminist and you're mocking the so-called "man bun," then you can turn in your card. Right now, no feminist card if you're mocking his bun. What? Why? One more time for the bitches in the back of the room, here's the bold type. The Bold Type We will never reach true equity until men have the same access, without mockery, to feminine tropes as women do for the masculine ones. The "man bun&qu…
"Lights please!"
🎅 Parents believe their kid believes in Santa approximately *3.7 years longer than the kid actually believes in Santa. The kid keeps it going, but only because they just can't bear to ruin the fun for their parents. This is not bad news, it's good news, because it means they understand the real joy of Christmas. 💟 *Not an actual statistic
