October is my birth month. Like anyone else who celebrated a birthday in 2020 (outside of um, January, early February), I can’t say I’m super stoked about it. There are a couple of reasons why I feel so meh, but the general state of the world is certainly contributing to my overall gloomy outlook. I… Continue reading Decade #1

Days 195-197.
Well, we made it. End to another week. Wahoo, amiright? Also, scary as fuck because this week flew by. On one hand, I have no desire to drag out my weeks during this weird and off-putting time. On the other hand, I do not desire the speeding up of the passage of time. Ah, conflict.… Continue reading Days 195-197.
Day 194.
Happy almost to the weekend my people. We made it. The last stretch of the second song. You might need a break by now because I have dumped a whole host of shit on you this week. I mean I have really given you a lot to process. Just give me today and tomorrow and… Continue reading Day 194.
Day 193.
New day, new song. Are you relieved? I know you are so don’t play me. The song I want to explore over the next two days is “Workin’ On It” by Meghan Trainor. Two days and lots of goodness to explore. First bit: Never been asked to dance'Cause I never been the pretty oneNever like… Continue reading Day 193.
Day 192.
Okay, last day that we are going to explore the song. Are you relieved? Has it given you food for thought? I know that we’ve explored most of these themes before but they are really fucking important. That’s why I come back to them again and again. We can’t just look at these topics once… Continue reading Day 192.
Day 191.
Hi. Welcome back, again. Missed you guys. Thanks for coming back and giving me more time, with you, to explore this thing called self-love. I want to explore another stanza of the Sasha Sloan song today because it is just SO good. Here goes… I'd be louder, I'd be honestProbably wouldn't be self-consciousI'd go to… Continue reading Day 191.
Day 190.
This topic is coming to a close, which feels apropos today of all days, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg lies in state. If I’m honest, I’m a little sad. I don’t know if you’ve enjoyed this week, but I have. I attempted this week to write the most epic love letter to a woman who… Continue reading Day 190.
Day 189.
Ready for the next fact? I hope so, because it’s coming atcha. Fact #4- “She was called the “Notorious RBG”.” Guys, I fucking love this fact. Of course, I saw the documentary they made about her (see it if you haven’t—it’s transcendental) and for me, the imagery was insanely brilliant. Why? Well it helps to… Continue reading Day 189.
Day 188.
The next fact is going to throw you a bit. It’s unusual that it would be included on a list of facts about RBG but I’m hoping I can make it make sense for you. Here it is—fact #3- “she had a history of health concerns.” Okay. Sad. Relevance? I thought to explain with a… Continue reading Day 188.
Day 187.
What else did RBG do? Well, the list is endless but let’s just move onto the second fact on my list (and by that, I mean the list produced by Al Jazeera). Fact #2- “She asked tough questions and wrote tough dissents.” I know I said that her work on behalf of women was the… Continue reading Day 187.
