Last fall, Typepad, the blog service I used, shut down. I crossed my fingers and downloaded my 24 (twentyfuckingfour!) years of blog entries and moved it all to WordPress. So, here it is. Now, I just have to get back to actually writing!

Just remembering that Valentine’s Day I was at the gyno for a LEEP procedure and the receptionist gave me a single rose… That Valentine’s Day I took the bus to Rocky Roccoco’s with my best friend and we got the heart shaped pizza and…

It was a rough week, made rougher by interrupting a holiday. Though, honestly I didn’t mind the timing that much because my customers were also unavailable. That was one less thing I had to worry about. An empty inbox is very healing. Also very healing are all the wonderful, thoughtful, courageous people in our lives. Thank…

The monochromatic outfits we all loved have to be inspired by The Crown, don’t make fun of the Queen ever again. Men need better dress up clothes. Get some interesting coats dudes. Bernie is in front of me at the post office every time. Every event needs a mascot. I didn’t know it was Gaga because…

This has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. We say that and then something worse happens. I began this blog because of 9/11. This is worse. Worse personally because I have more to lose. Professionally because I have more responsibility. Emotionally because I also lost a friend to fucking murder last week.…

I honest to god was shocked when I found out intersex “correction” surgeries on newborn babies are still happening. I thought that doctors would use some other more modern scientific method to determine gender. Of course at the time I ignorantly assumed gender was always in some way physical (chromosomes?). I know better now. I…

(photo cred Vivi) Me: “You said ‘Aldi’s’ little while ago, now there’s an Aldi ad in my feed. I’ve never had an Aldi ad before.” Mom: “So what?” Me: “It’s listening, I swear the devices are listening” Mom: “What? Ooh, that’s spooky….” Also Mom: holds up iPad, “SEX!”
