Has My Tunnel Vision About Blogging All Of These Years Contributed To The Erosion Of My Relationship and Marriage?
This blog isn’t exactly a diary or journal. I do share a lot of my life, at least the interesting parts. At the very least, the interesting to me parts. It is 10:32 on a Saturday night in September. Earlier today, I wrestled some cat food bags and did the dishes. Then I had a […]
Hard to be sure. Sometimes I feel so insecure.
Sometimes, blogging is overwhelming. Tonight is one of those times. I just published a post about being a disabled person relying on Social Security Disability Insurance after adding a few finishing touches. After getting home from a 3 and 1/2 hour play that I have to review. I received two additional Political Q&A responses that […]
How to Silence a Blogger Using Pneumonia
I’ve got pneumonia. I’ve been horribly sick for six days. In bed, sleep all day, disorienting sick. A friend took me to doctor Friday. Now I’m back in bed with shiny new meds. Is God taking away my breath to silence me? Breathing has occupied far more time than usual this week. How I sleep […]
What I Learned From a Month of Daily Blogging
It has been several years since I participated in National Blog Post Month or NaBloPoMo. I published a post every day during November this year. Particularly challenging this November as I navigated a fine line between disengagement and sanity. Sanity did not always prevail. Several posts were deep dives inward, exploring my traumas and a […]
Crowded Fundraising Is My New Normal
My love/hate relationship with crowdfunding continues. In addition to supporting my blogging, I’m relying on donations to manage legal costs. Technically, I’m involved in three legal battles. First was the defamation case around the Protect Trans Kids project. Then came family court sorting out the ramifications of all that’s happened. Perhaps of most interest is […]
I fail donors with complete self-awareness and no actual misgivings
I love the idea of supporting creators with a modest sustaining gift. Each month, a titch of my income goes to Substack subscriptions, some Act Blue candidates, and Patreon. Donors keep the interesting stuff happening. How I Waded In To The Pond of Promotion So I set up my own Patreon. Immediately hit a wall. […]
Reasons to Keep Saving This Blog (and the Blogger)
Next week, my journey will reach the six months mark. Six months since I was kicked out of my home under the pretext of a 303 involuntary civil commitment. Six months since my friends picked me up on from an intersection outside Western Psychiatric Hospital when I was released four hours later. Six months since […]

How Discovering My Superpowers Gave Me True Courage
I’ve been watching a lot of superhero/fantasy tv with my nephew, leading me to consider my preferred superpowers. Yes, superpowers. I have two well-worn responses to that query. First, I have excellent peripheral vision because my eyes protrude, known as exothalmia. One of those eyes is lazy and wasn’t properly treated in childhood so I […]
