we're all mad here
I don’t totally know what I was planning for this post when I wrote it down for my Pride celebration. I know that I have a lot of feelings surrounding coming out, and that I really don’t have the urgency to do it with anyone in particular, or at all. I think a lot about…

Okay, realistically? Literally how did I not know? Underworld came out in 2003, but I distinctly remember watching it for the first time in my living room because–are you ready for this–my dad made me stand out in the kitchen during the sex scenes, so I had to be in middle school, which was probably…

Hiya folks! Today’s post was supposed to be something else entirely, but I’ve decided to do something very near and dear to my heart instead. With the chaotic state of the world, my favorite tea place, Jolie Tea Co. in Salem, MA, has temporarily closed, and I want to support them in whatever way I…

Today’s post was supposed to be me shouting about how excited I am that I get to travel to the UK in a few days, but alas, it’s not happening. Due to the growing concern around the coronavirus, we’ve decided to postpone our trip until things have settled down, and while I’m pretty angry about…
