This is a fantastic visual of what’s going on inside the body when endo and PCOS strike. They go over some treatments as well. Right now I’m in line to have some of my nerves cut because of the pain. I’ve thankfully avoided having a hysterectomy so far. The doctors never told me why but […]

The Lowest Common Denominator
Entertainment is currently geared toward the lowest common denominator. The worst, the ugliest, the most inhumane. The more disgusting, the most idiotic, the more twisted is what gets play. Dollars are pouring in for the emotionally stunted, the downright abusive, the utterly weak. People salivate over the inane fights, delight in misunderstandings, and cheer when […]
Angie Across America
Need inspiration? Like cycling? Love challenges? Or just want to see how much Kansas sucks? Watch this documentary made by a tenacious, compassionate friend of mine. My eyes were wet from beginning to end. It’s so much more than 4000 miles in 39 days. And the story doesn’t end here. I can’t wait to see […]
US currency reimagined to celebrate ideas, not the dead | The Verge
In both physical and emotional pain today (health probs and reminders of dead lovers on Doctor Who), yet still able to appreciate the beauty and wonder in the world. Not only was that Doctor Who episode fantastic but then I see this gorgeous currency designed by someone who wants to go forward as much as […]
No Time to Breathe
Why do I write books the way I do? Why the insanely fast pace with every event toppling over the last and racing towards an absolute frenzy of confusion? Why such heavy topics running into one another, intersections borne of hints and cracks elsewhere in the cuilverse? It’s actually quite simple: my life has been […]
4 Ways Parents Teach Kids that Consent Doesn’t Matter — Everyday Feminism
I love this. I’ve already practiced or set into practice the first three. I hadn’t heard of the touching-the-shoulder thing to help kids wait. That’s something I’ll try out with my little one. Consent is so important and it needs to learned from a young age. Learning about how consent should happen and how it […]
Smashwords Read an Ebook Week
The first two books in the Allison Dutch series and The Black Tree series are still free. Now every other book in each series is half off. “What a savings,” as the guy from Galaxy Quest once said. Anyway, it’s a good opportunity to catch up on each series so far. The last few Black […]
Character and Song #21: Queen Aeryn
The queen of all vampires. The first logmin vampire. A vindictive bitch. With long black hair, piercing brown eyes, and caramel skin linking her to ancient Egypt, Queen Aeryn has appetites bigger than Earth. A good bit of her character is based on the lover I lost to death a few weeks ago. One of […]
Character and Song #20: Lilith
The first human woman, the first wife of Adam, and the baddest bitch to ever step foot on Earth. Lilith is the mother of all monsters that originated on Earth. She is seductress, she is power, and she is insatiable (sounds familiar, eh? I’m sure there’s another character I have who’s very similar. I wonder […]
A Fresh Start
Ha as if I didn’t have enough planned for this year now I have another big idea. A truly frictionless environment. The largest experiment I’ll likely ever do. One of my characters asked me why I never wrote anything happy. I finally have my answer to that. It will probably be an even bigger project […]
