Zero Tolerance for Violence
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” ~JFK For the first time in three months, the news is not dominated by the global pandemic. Instead, it’s covering the protests and riots across the country sparked by the latest instance of police brutality leading to the death of yet another Black person.…

Carnism & Covering Up COVID-19
CW: pandemic, political anxieties, societal collapse, animal cruelty I woke up this morning relatively rested, but soon thereafter heard the news that the USA and UK are going to beat COVID-19 by just not reporting the numbers. They’re getting too high, and that doesn’t fit with their plans to re-open the country. First, the numbers…

Poignant Psychosis in the Psycho Prequel
I wrote on this topic, complete with a series summary, on my newly revived LiveJournal account, if you’d like to be friends there. The post is long and rambling, but it’s more thorough than this one. SPOILERS: Bates MotelTW: sexual and domestic violence, suicide, murder, mental illness Today is Day 50 of Quarantine for me.…

Yodeling in Quarantine
What a fucking time to be alive. Global pandemic the like that hasn’t been seen for a century. Currently in the USA, we have over 300k confirmed cases, 3x that of a week ago, Brian and I have been in self isolation for 25 days (even though I say 24 in the video. Losing count!),…

Fifty & Fabulous!
Today I turn 50 years old, and I’m super happy to say goodbye to my forties. Worst decade of my life, as you all well know if you follow my life. The last two years have been pretty great, though, maybe even last three. My life these days is so full of love and friendship,…

Potions Party Website
So…. two months ago I posted a blog on Advanced Potions, promising a continuation of the party soon. Obviously, I never got around to writing that continuation post, but there are so many cool things to show you! Thankfully, Brian has made an entire website showing off what we did for this awesome party, from…

My Best Life
Yesterday my supervisor at work said “you really know how to live your best life.” This quote has stuck with me ever since, and it has been repeating in my mind while snowshoeing today on Mt. Hood. (I’m typing this in a snow-covered forest while standing in my snowshoes, because if I don’t write it…

Welcome to Advanced Potions
Last month, Brian and I threw a Halloween/Birthday Party themed like a Harry Potter Potions Class, and it was epic! Brian, being the genius he is, took the inspiration found at The Cauldron, an AirBnB Experience/Pop Up I went to in London this summer, and ran with it. He made potion cabinets, mixing stations, and…
