Verily, cats are weird

My life has been on hold this week following a drastic and explosive vomiting episode on the part of my cat, Fidel, which led to him not eating or drinking for almost two days.

The inevitability of sexual assault

Atomic Blonde

So PSA, I loved this movie. I've seen some discussion of the problematic aspects of this film, and we'll get to those because I want to unpack them. But I want to start by focusing on the positives. I had been waiting to see this movie for two weeks when I finally made it into... Continue Reading →
