Hello friends! This will be (I hope) an upbeat update. I’ll post another data driven one tomorrow. My blog turns 20 on December 29, 2025. I am proud of that milestone. Most blogs endure 2-3 years. To commemorate it, I had the blog logo tattooed on my forearm this past Friday night. See photo. I […]
It was around this time of that year when the photo below was taken. End of winter term. Terrified about what came next. Certain that working in Congress was not for me. 34 years ago. I had no idea how much my degree in political science and that internship would shape this 20 year labor […]
Well, sparkle season is here and I’m still stuck in this in-between stage as my lawsuits play out. I share my home with someone I used to well, know. Not any longer. I miss the most mundane things – watching the news together, trying new restaurants, making waffles, eating her lemon chicken recipe. It hurts […]

Then I load up my all time favorite movie ‘When Harry […]

It feels important to acknowledge this day, this anniversary of a terrible series of events two years ago that upended my life forever. You can read the details here. The details matter, of course, but at the same time – it is today that matters. My due process rights were violated. I was homeless for […]
It is true that middle-aged women are invisible in many spaces, at least those I occupy. I literally take up 225 lbs and 5’3″ of space, but that is compacted and impacted until my body remains but my essence is this small overlooked thing. One example is how I rushed, crammed, fit in, scheduled, rescheduled, […]
I am honored to be named to the 2025 ‘Power List’ to kick-off Lesbian Visibility Week. Thank you to the Curve Foundation for this honor and the chance to highlight important issues. “[T]hese individuals are breaking barriers, challenging norms, and leaving an indelible mark on our community and beyond. It is essential for us to […]
