Back After Hiatus

It's been way too long, y'all — for realz!

In case you were wondering what happened, I was enjoying the daily posts, and thought, while I was creating all this content for Facebook, why not put all these musings down in one place? It turned into a book. Actually two books. However, now that they are both in the editing phase (someone else's job), I'll have time to start posting here again. A gurls gotta stay sharp. Speaking of the gurls, my tits are looking awesome these days.

Things will likely get controversial. If you have a weak stomach, don't read my shit. If you become easily triggered (meaning you get off on virtue signaling by calling out others who haven't been privileged enough to have taken a lot of Liberal Arts race, gender, class, and other social theory courses), danger Will Robinson. If you are prone to using your education to bully people (never a good look), please move on. That goes double if you thrive on flaunting your ignorance. Go. If you are up for some thrilling dialogue about issues that I happen to find interesting, without claiming to be any type of authority, get in here and mix it up.

What I have been reading: Octavia Butler (all of it), bell hooks "All About Love," adrienne maree brown "Pleasure Activism" and "We Will Not Cancel Us," Sonya Renee Taylor "The Body is Not an Apology," Stacy Haines "Healing Sex," and a bunch of random authors, including Samuel Delany, who may be my favorite science fiction author these days. I’ve screened a lot of films after making a list of all that had brought me joy. I’m committed to watching all of them. I’m on the P’s.

I've continued to play Dungeons and Dragons, although, over some bullshit, I got booted out of my campaign, cause our facilitator got all weird. Warning: Don’t mix team activities and romance. If things go wrong with one, it is bound to spoil the other. I’m in a new group now where we made group agreements at the outset, including how we would handle conflict. Remedial shit, you know? First World problems. I’m working through it with my therapist.

I started posting the rants at the outset of the Plague. As the world recalibrates, I pick up where I left off. We have a new President. I won’t have nearly the amazing material that came with four years of [name your poison]. I look forward to how many times folks will cancel me, which is hilarious since I’m a fictional being. Lol! Still, yes, I do tend to stir the pot. If no one stirs, all the good stuff will sink to the bottom and burn. We’ll see...or this could be the last post ever.
