    Be the Change

    I had to delete a few posts because I realized I wanted to really try to focus on finding the prettier side of things. It’s hard and I’m not there yet. Target announcing they were backing down on DEI was confusing, sad, frustrating and one of the posts I deleted…

  • Products I Need to Replace

    Products I Need to Replace

    This is so overwhelming. But baby steps, right? First up, I need to replace my laundry detergent. I’ve used Method Ginger Mango for years now and I love the scent. Not overwhelming, slightly sweet. Fresh. Alas, Method Products rate 86% in republican contributions. If you’ve stumbled on this post and…

  • Road to Big Sur

    Road to Big Sur

    I had my first blog around the time I ran Big Sur the first time. It was simple and fun and took off in ways I didn’t expect. It became overwhelming and I abandoned it completely. Lately I’ve been wishing I kept it going and all these lessons I’m learning…

  • Farewell, Starlite!

    Farewell, Starlite!

    I’m obsessed. This song is on repeat right now. Out in 2016 but I missed it then. Dark and yet somehow maybe a little hopeful? It’s 100% my current vibe. It’s in the same neighbourhood as Glassio for me. When Francis and the Lights put out the album Farewell, Starlite!…

  • Introducing Linus

    Introducing Linus

    As we get going here, I might as well introduce the main players. I’ll do reverse order. This is Linus. He is 6 months old and at the moment I’m concerned by fast breathing because I left him unattended for the 40 minutes I spent trying to figure out how…

  • Hello world!

    Hello world!

    Oh thank God. This one is for posterity-I think it took me close to 40 minutes to figure out how to edit this first post. This isn’t my first blog, probably my fourth or fifth (I haven’t been counting) and I don’t even think it’s my first blog on WordPress,…
