It’s December 8th and I haven’t done a single Christmas post this year. In the past, holiday posts have been a staple of my Decembers. I’ve written a bunch of posts about Santa and a bunch of posts about holiday music. I’ve written a fair number of posts about Chanukah. I’ve written about the language…
The time has finally come. The Ice Climbers are finally re-emerging as a threat in the Super Smash Bros. meta. The ICs have always been dangerous- in Melee and Brawl, they were a character that could land an infinite combo off of basically any grab. But despite their incredibly powerful grabs and Smash attacks, the…
It’s December. Can you believe it? I can’t. Groundhog Day was a little over a week ago. I don’t know how this happened, but I’ve double checked and triple checked, and it is December. We have a December tradition around these parts. For this month, we actually live up to our name. We put up…
It’s election day in the US. I got to vote for governor, senator, congressperson, secretary of the state, treasurer, state rep, state senator, and probate judge. There were also two ballot questions. One was whether we should allow early voting here. The other was a change to the town charter. I felt pretty blah about…
“Is cereal a soup?” has become a common question on the internet. It bugs me a bit. I know it’s a gotcha type of question, but that’s not my problem with it. I kind of like pondering gotcha questions. It bugs me because I can’t seem to answer it. Every instinct I have says that…
Earlier this week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus released a letter calling for the Biden Administration to “pair the military and economic support the United States has provided to Ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire.” While referring to Russia’s invasion as “outrageous and illegal,” the letter…
It’s October which means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s the time for corporate pink-washing and ribbons. Like all awareness campaigns, I’m just not sure how much good is done. It’s nice and all that athletes wear pink but is anyone unaware of breast cancer at this point? How much extra money goes to charities…
A couple weeks ago, I posted an apology because I couldn’t get my Monday mental health piece written. I was talking to my therapist lately and she said that I should have posted what I did have written even though it wasn’t finished. It could provide insight both into the writing process and the depressed…
I really wanted to get a new mental health post out today, but it’s not going to happen. I started a post about insomnia. I just don’t have it in me to finish. I just wanted to post this in case anyone was wondering where the Monday post was. Sorry.
I was talking to a friend the other day and she asked what my goal was for this blog. (It’s ironic because I’m pretty sure she doesn’t regularly read this blog.) I didn’t quite know how to answer. It started, and mostly remains, a hobby for us. It’s mostly fun and lets us scratch certain…
