So. There is an open world Potter game. As you can imagine, this has caused a lot of strong emotions because for many people, JKR is the absolute worst. I will hasten to add that I’m in that category. To others, people who are against JKR are the worst. They can go jump in a… Continue Reading
I’m going to brag for a minute. This isn’t even a humble-brag–it’s just a brag. I have a high EQ (Emotional Quotient/emotional intelligence) and have for my whole life. I can read people in a way that most people can’t. I’m not psychic–I’m just extremely adept at picking up cues. It’s both nature (I was… Continue Reading
I love the internet in general. I spend a lot of time on it, and I find so much value in it. THat being said, there are downsides as there are to everything. One thing is how it’s easy for someone’s opinions to harden because of the echo chambers on line. And things that started… Continue Reading
Boobs. I like boobs. Who doesn’t like boobs? Most people like boobs. I have a fake-hubby who is gay who likes boobs. In the words of the inimitable Tim Minchin: Fuck, I love boobs, though! I just really love them. Fuck, I love boobs, though. I just want to rub them! He just really loves… Continue Reading
I’m a freak. I know that. I’ve known it since I was in my twenties. I just didn’t realize to what extent until, well, now. And I’m still realizing it. I wish I had known the extent when I was younger because then maybe i wouldn’t have wasted so many years feeling like there was… Continue Reading

Why? Because it strips all context from a situation. “A woman can… Continue Reading
I was reading up on a controversy concerning The Korean Englishman (Josh from Jolly) in October of 2020. This was during the pandemic and he planned a birthday party for his wife in Seoul (she’s Korean) and videotaped it. The Korean police did not take kindly to it and arrested them. There were other issues… Continue Reading
It’s fascinating to me to read Ask A Manager to see what the norms are in the working world. Today, there was a question from a manager who’s college grad hire has made a pillow fort (a ‘nest’) in her office. She’s going to get an officemate soon (a new hire), and her manager wants… Continue Reading
Life is strange. That’s not just the name of a video game, that’s a fact of life. It’s been nearly 11 months since I died, so it’s almost my re-birthday. I’ll be 1 years old on September 3rd. At least that’s how I choose to look at it. And since I came back to life,… Continue Reading
I am not anyone’s inspiration p0rn. Abbreviated inspo p0rn, apparently, which I appreciate. I was reading an Ask A Manager post about disability and the workplace, and it’s really frustrating how even the most woke of women (the vast majority of her commentariat are female-presenting people) felt the need to say that the actions of… Continue Reading
