In real life, I’m a stone cold emotionally constipated bitch. This is a fact that I’ve known for a long time and sadly I haven’t the wherewithal nor the disposable income to fix this (thanks Sallie Mae). We’re in unprecedented times, which I think, given what I’ve seen in the traditional and social medias, is … Continue reading Things It’s Okay to Cry About In Isolation

Still alone: What Happens After a Two Week Quarantine
My two weeks have come and gone. Some dude name James is bringing me groceries tonight, my 16th night of my 16th day with no real human contact.

Parents comparing their … Continue reading Benchmarking
