A Closed Internet
Hello, readers! I love the freedom I have on the web. We all do. Oh, excuse me, I should say had. Recently in the U.S., we’ve lost net neutrality. I was at work when I saw the news alert. I’m enraged and devastated that the Internet is going to be commercialized like television. It’s disgusted andContinue reading “A Closed Internet”
Trailers: Bohemian Rhapsody
Guten Abend! (Good evening!) I went to the movie theater last night with my Mom and sister.

Instead of writing a poem–which I’ve done for each of my parents over the years–I made a list of humorous inside jokes and heartfelt messages. My mom has taughtContinue reading “#WeekendCoffeeShare (Sun. May 13th)”
#weekendcoffeeshare (Sat. April 14th)
Hello, dear reader! If we were having coffee, I’d be sporting my metal flower water bottle. For the past few days, I’ve been having a pretty wicked cold. (I mean wicked as in ugly, not cool.)

The Double Standard: Mental Health
Hello, dear reader! I have anxiety. I have depression. Some days, my mood is really good. Some days, I have “down” days, or more specifically, “down” moments. I say down moments because my mood will shift, even if I suddenly feel sad. Some days, I’m worried about stupid stuff, like letting myself fret over the future–which I know willContinue reading “The Double Standard: Mental Health”
A Love Letter to A Little Life
Hello, dear reader! Note: the book cover is an alternative one. the original features “the orgasmic man” This 724-paged novel captivated me, chewed me up with its rawness, spit me back out, and came back swinging with fresh emotions and intense feels. Hanya Yanagihara’s work is akin to an MMA fighter: Once you’re in theContinue reading “A Love Letter to A Little Life”
