Watching previously loved 90’s films like Clueless and currently Mean Girls. Problematic to say the least but it wasn’t recognized at this time. Terms like “retarded” we’re thrown around at will. Any gay character was comic relief nothing else. Asians were “nerds”, there may or may not of been black characters, if there were theyContinue reading “Girl World”

Casey Anthony Doc
Just watched this. Wow! As a survivor of sexual abuse it hit home. I remember this case. I along with everyone condemned her. She killed her kid so she could party like most people in their early 20’s. That was the narrative. How could she smile when her child was missing? Why was her childContinue reading “Casey Anthony Doc”

Magical Norway from an American point of view
I visited Scandinavia a couple years ago. Couldn’t tell you how many exactly, there were a couple years that disappeared in the pandemic. I was shocked at their philosophy when it comes to government and what the government does for the people. They have a philosophy. From the cradle to the grave. It means, youContinue reading “Magical Norway from an American point of view”
The Good in Humankind
Reading the recent headlines it’s easy to loose faith in people. Mass shooting in Colorado. Terrorist attack in Israel. A myriad of other more localized violence. If you were an alien from another galaxy and you googled earth, you would think the worst. World wars, massacre’s, genocide. All happened and happening as I write this.Continue reading “The Good in Humankind”
Mrs. Mann
I had a third grade teacher named Mrs. Mann They taught me ancient Egypt mythology, Greek mythology and read from a book that had its protagonist, a happy go lucky kid burns their eyes out by illegal fireworks. It was life changing. The way it was explained. In a perfect way a child could understand.Continue reading “Mrs. Mann”

I’m 47. That’s the age most women will experience peri menopause. You might go for a routine check with your OBGYN. I did that, 2 years too late, and my OBGYN noticed a large polyp. She was down there and said something. I was completely freaked out. Of course I was thinking, “There’s a hugeContinue reading “Things all women will go through”
A great dad
I can remember a time when someone on my school bus was going off on Hispanic dads. Can’t remember the specifics, I can only remember being so shocked at this narrative. That they’re unavailable or absent all together. I told this person they were wrong, so wrong. Being a shy pre teen, I didn’t thinkContinue reading “A great dad”
