2021 is starting off in full dumpster-fire fashion, but it has also given rise to one of the best things I've ever seen on the internet. Let's talk about #seashantytok. https://twitter.com/BloodyDeath11/status/1348759448337186816 I've been watching the evolution of the Wellerman arrangements on TikTok with glee over the past few weeks. As you can see from the... Continue Reading →
Looking forward in 2021
Hello folks, and welcome to 2021. If you're like me you're not really feeling those resolutions this year. We're still in the middle of a pandemic, though vaccinations are dispersing somewhat, and we've got a few months more at best of our new, strange reality. And of course there is a lot of uncertainty right... Continue Reading →
The year in review
So hey, it's the end of December! I know it doesn't feel like it because this year has simultaneously gone on forever and passed in the blink of an eye. What is time? Does it have any meaning anymore? (That's rhetorical, we all know the answer is "no".) This year I did what feels like... Continue Reading →

The episodes are still out there in the world, so you can still listen... Continue Reading →

I have felt, watching my great-grandmothers and my grandparents and and the S.O.'s... Continue Reading →
The full 2020 experience
Yesterday, I waited in line for two hours to get a Covid test I probably didn't need, seeing as we already know the S.O. has Covid. It was my first time getting a Covid test and, at risk of putting you off of getting one, I thought I would describe the experience. Waiting in line... Continue Reading →
On cross-dressing as narrative device
I asked for blogpost ideas recently and I got this awesome discussion question from Miramira Endevall. It reads: There are ever so many stories about women dressing up as men to go do things, but very few the other way around, and then for comedy a la Charlie's Aunt. Is this because women's spaces aren't... Continue Reading →
