It’s been a rough week. Earlier, I found out a dear friend died in a motorcycle accident. A utility van crossed the center line and, by doing so, ended her life. It was sudden and still feels unreal and… irritating. Like, I am super irritated about this. Not fair. Not cool and I don’t want […]

Nature Had Its Way With Us
I once read a study which claimed that Milwaukee was the safest place to live (when only considering natural disasters). Otherwise, it’s a bit fucked here and we’ve managed to altar the mortality statistics with other human-made variables (structural racism, systemic poverty, corruption, crime etc.). But Milwaukee’s citizens don’t usually see hurricanes or mudslides or […]
Make Your Fun: Mental Health Is Relative
WELL! What a day I had last week. WEDNESDAY I started last Wednesday with being a midwife’s first patient of the day (absolutely no news to share there) and later had a pharmacist suggest I’m insane. That was funny as the woman ahead of me in line at the pharmacy with people selling drugs right […]
True Crime: A Stabbing in Tourist Town
This week’s blog is a chapter I’ve cut from the book I’m working on. So, yeah, my blog is a kind of recycling bin because it’s important to recycle. This is a story about the early days of email and that one time my co-worker was stabbed which occurred while we both worked in tourist […]

SYSTEM ALERT: Is What Happened to My Mom Going To Happen To Meeeeeeeeee?
Why have a blog if you can’t use it to openly discuss the potential manifestation of your absolute worst fear? 😺 Yeah. This is the blog post I really avoided writing and here it is. In this post I’ve tried to bedazzle my worst fear and all my fretting and freaking out with pictures and […]
GOOD MORNING 🛎
Where am I? Are the police busting down our door? And then… what day is it? If the police are busting down our door, I want to know what day it is. That was the cognitive scene today at exactly six in the morning. It was a bit surreal as a loud bang woke my […]
Weakness, Witches and Signs of the Time
I’m not able to leave the house much because I have bad lungs. I am still in the revolution, as my friend refers to it, but I’m also living in a time of coronavirus like most other humans on earth and, since I’m more susceptible to the virus because of my bad lungs, I’m staying […]
