Ex-Men

I've been through many relationships in my four and a half decades on Mother Earth, and I left each one a bit more jaded than I entered it. Each had its unique set of circumstances and ended for different reasons. I do not keep in touch with any of those people except for the two …

Men Only Want One Thing

I once worked with a dude named Shawn. Shawn had this inexplicable need to stick his dick in every woman he met. For reasons unknown to me, he also thought of me as a friend and was constantly regaling me with his sexual exploits despite my obvious disdain for his lifestyle. Or, perhaps he didn't …

No Shame

NOM! I was out and about the other day, picking up a few things I needed for the house. I popped into Dollar Tree to grab some cleaning supplies for a couple different reasons. The first? I needed some cleaning supplies, and Dollar Tree is cheap. The second? Dollar Tree is right next to the …

The Hand You’re Dealt

It never fails. Something terrible happens, and some well-meaning person offers up one of the following platitudes: It will work out how it needs to. Everything happens for a reason. If it happened, it's meant to be. We've all heard different variations of those platitudes so often uttered in the wake of some awful occurrence. …

Mah Headcannon!

Having been born in the late 70's, my formative years were the 80's. Obviously. Growing up during those years it was impossible not to know what Star Wars was and damn near everyone watched it at some point.

Change My Mind

An Abortion of Rights

I've been trying to put this off until I could calm down and maybe get my thoughts together, but every time I start thinking about it I begin to fume. The news leaked some time ago, but was made official on Friday: the Supreme Court has reversed its ruling on Roe vs Wade, and abortion …

What is normal?

Normality is subjective. Almost everybody considers the things they like and do to be normal. And anyone who likes or does something else is different. It’s a rare human who acknowledges they just don’t fit in with the rest of society and that the things they’re into are just, ya know, weird. Most of us …

God Fearing

I was raised to believe God is a kind, loving, and compassionate being. Every Sunday my parents dragged me to church (literally - I did not want to go) where I had to listen to a monotone recitation of how powerful, forgiving, and full of love both God and Jesus are. Think Ben Stein in …
