Lack of Agency -or- “Don’t Make Me Tap the Sign*”
(*the sign reads: “The only war that matters is the war against the imagination” ((thanks, Diane Di Prima))) Right now I’m trying to think of something to write but I keep circling around the topic and it comes out wrong.

Running on a Deficit
I went to the doctor last month and got a physical for the first time in almost a decade. They did a blood draw and tested me for all the things. When I got the results back I felt like a fool. My iron and B12 deficiencies were still an issue. I’d known about these…

These Are The Books I Am Reading
my tbr is too damn much but I’m really enjoying getting back into reading. Starman is an old favorite and everyone should read the Robinson/Harris run from the 90s. I don’t consider myself a big marvel fan outside of the X-Men (am a DC girl who is patiently waiting for a Zatanna movie) but of…

Balancing my Media Diet
I’m just going to type out a quick update here for the sheer hell of it. There has been a lot going on in my personal and professional life at the moment, and I am deep in the process of Getting My Shit Together. Because of this, it is difficult to have the spoons for…
