Last night, I lost an acquaintance. Not to death, but to Facebook blocking. I had Liked several comments by a stranger stating in a very rational manner that a post using the word “rape” to describe a non-actual-rape situation was inappropriate. The commentor, the survivor of a horrible trauma, was far more calm and collected…

Last month, I took part in my first photo-a-day challenge on Instagram. Self care isn’t something I usually have much trouble with, given that I have no problem saying no to things in order to maintain my natural couch potato state, but it was neat to track it for the month and search through my…

This cartoon by Adam Ellis has stuck with me since the first time I saw it [on the Facebook page of Buzzfeed comics]. I LOVE it. Two of the people I talk with most often are also extreme introverts, so we would never have gotten to be so friendly were it not for the safety of…

The alarm goes off earlier than on a weekday, but I’ve been awake for bit, paranoid about oversleeping. The light filtering through the blinds is cloudy and dim; Louisa is happily spooned, extra content because Hampton changed the sheets yesterday and the duvet is extra fluffy.

I have to give a shoutout to one of the things that gets me through the day (besides coffee and corgimutts): theSkimm. Started a few years back by some young women with a passion for storytelling (my favorite!) and fried artichokes (a close second favorite to storytelling!), it’s an e-newsletter that hits your inbox every…

If you saw my post-rehearsal Instagram gif on Friday night, you know I had big plans for doing very little this weekend. Preferably while not wearing pants. The weekend before was spent around lots of people I didn’t know seeing a band I didn’t know (#goodwifeaward) and this week was a rush of Nunsense choreo, so I…
