This sentence is here because I’ve been staring at this blank screen for what feels like three lifetimes and I can’t think of anything clever or witty enough to be the first sentence I’ve written here in over a year (wtf, self) and I’m finally giving up and just putting something here because something has…

Super Tuesday Isn’t Super at All
I’ve been trying to think of a time in my adult life when I have been less enthused about Super Tuesday, but you know what? I don’t think there is one, especially where the Presidential race is concerned. Because it happens so early in primary season, at least one of the major political parties is…
Poppy Follow Up Post
Poppy Steiner passed away at 6:10pm on Wednesday February 7, 2024. That was the hardest sentence I’ve ever had to write. She passed away peacefully here at home with the gentle help of a veterinarian from Compassionate Care. I was holding her the entire time and made sure that the last words she heard me…
I have no quippy titles for this.
This is going to be one of the hardest blog posts I will ever have to write. It’s hard because I am bad—really bad—at being vulnerable and opening up and trusting others and asking for any kind of help. I get flustered and scared and usually end up saying something phenomenally stupid. I wanted to…

Real Quick Fundraiser Update
I just posted this over on GoFundMe and thought it would be a good idea to post it here too: HAPPY THANKSGIVING (a couple of days early)! I hope that all of you are having a grand time with people you love and doing things you like! It’s been a minute or a few since…
What to Expect Since You’re Probably Expecting Some Updates
Me, when November started: IMMA WRITE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH STUFF! Me, now: What day is it? Are we still in 2019? Are there more hearings today? Do I have to listen to Jim Jordan’s face-holes make noise? Who ate all my chips? Why is it dark out? I need to catch up on my blog!…
PROGRAMMING UPDATE
