This weekend, I'm going to a samosa party. Tragically, we're making them for charity, not for eating, so I will not get to gorge on fried deliciousness until I explode. But I will learn how to make them for myself, which is pretty exciting/probably bad for my arteries, so it's a net gain. But the … Continue reading Samosas, Friends, and Human Rights

Thank You For The Douchebags
I'm not being sarcastic; I really am grateful for the douchebags, assholes, and scumbags of the world. They're how I wound up here.

Children’s Books & Representation
Ed. Note: You probably saw that title. It's not trying to be weird or goofy, just straightforward. I've been mulling over racism, sexism, ableism, etc. in the media, and how it shapes our brains.
