we're all mad here
Sometimes I write down ideas for posts, but I don’t actually write down anything except facts about my writing, and then when it comes time to write the actual post, I’m just sitting here blankly, like, what the hell does that even mean? I have a vague sense of what I was intending for this…

Yoga is weird. Even when you’re just doing yoga to do yoga, it’s weird. I mean, think about it. Traditionally, yoga was done to prepare the body to sit in one place for hours on end so that meditation could be physically comfortable. Now, though we’ve bastardized it a lot, yoga is still kind of…

Last month, I finished my book! I’ve got to say, I’m pretty freaking proud of myself, and not just for the normal reasons. I’ve talked about this a little on the blog, but not for a while, and not in any real detail, so here goes. A little over three years ago, in December 2016,…
