It's been a while since I've written, and it's going to be a while longer. Don't want to leave you hanging, so quick update: I'm sick, I've been sick since Saturday, and symptoms worsened enough today that I did an e-visit with the hospital. Tests are still very limited in my state, so the doctor … Continue reading Limbo

Last night was a bit of an emotional roller coaster, one of laughter and frustration and relief and rage. At the end of it all, I was left feeling so astoundingly grateful for -- you guessed it -- my family, friends, and community. The compassion and love and laughter we share is the greatest gift … Continue reading Gebo, Gebo, Gebo

In my last post, I begged for help getting supplies and PPE for a funeral director friend of mine being deployed by D-MORT. The last few days have left me in awe at how many people have contacted me with offers to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you, there are honestly no words to … Continue reading All the Thanks! And All the Love!

One of my funeral director friends is being deployed with her D-MORT team. D-MORT is the federal response team comprised of funeral directors/emblamers, medical examiners, coroners, forensic anthropologists, etc, called to scenes of mass casualties and other scenarios when death care providers are needed (such as cemetery floods). They don't have enough PPE for everyone … Continue reading URGENT PLEA: PPE NEEDED

Day whatever of reporting to work as an essential employee: we're devolving into anarchy. Uniform guidelines have fallen by the wayside. I'm at my desk in leggings and plaid Doc Martens. They have dinosaur laces. I'm making everyone look at the dinosaur laces. I've resurrected my mascara and burgundy lipstick. Gals who are fortunate enough … Continue reading Pandemic Log: It’s Getting Weird

"Have a Loki Blot, she said. It'll be fun, she said." This comment was left in jest on a FB post I made linking an article about 2 asteroids that are likely to hit our atmosphere in the midst of COVID-19 pandemonium. I laughed, joking about how I was wondering when I'd be called out … Continue reading Chaos! Pandemonium! Pandemic!

In October, I enjoyed seeing my friends celebrate "Coming Out Day," but I didn't really think much of it. Mostly because I really don't think about romantic love or sex at all, really, and that's what I associate with sexual orientation. And that's because, as I've mentioned before, I am asexual. I'm probably aromantic, too, … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Sex
