So today I wanted to talk about the writing challenge I started on December 1st. I won’t go into every single detail, but basically I created a Christmas writing challenge for myself that runs from December 1st to December 25th. The idea is simple: …and so on, adding 100 words each day until December 25th,…
Own the Mic: Freedom of Speech, Jimmy Kimmel, and Why Creators Need Ownership Now
Quick note before we start: yes, I’m posting this late. It’s been about two months since the Jimmy Kimmel situation. I had these thoughts the week it happened—I just… didn’t hit publish. Life. On September 10 (World Suicide Prevention Day), a public tragedy collided with late‑night commentary, and the internet did what it does: fight,…
The Things We Used to Fight For
Yeah, so today I wanted to talk about the things we used to fight for. Things we used to support, maybe like 10 years ago. Because I honestly don’t see any of it anymore. Several years ago, back when I was a teenager just exploring the internet (and to be fair, I started using the…
Why I Can’t Create Anymore (Maybe I Can, But It’s Different Now)
Okay, so today we have to talk about something that’s been bothering me for a while now—why is it that I can’t really create anymore? And I don’t mean that I’ve stopped completely. I mean that kind of creative hunger I used to have as a teenager—the urgency, the intensity, the obsession with finishing edits…
On Preserving Media, My Way
I’m not trying to start anything. I literally just watched a video a few minutes ago about preserving physical media and felt the itch to respond. Not to fight—just to add my voice, because it matters to me. Short version: I love physical media and I love my digital library. I don’t want to preserve…
When People Deconstruct
A well‑known Instagram creator (Rose Uncharted) has been posting about deconstruction and “Christ consciousness.” Rather than panic, it helps to view this as a thirty‑something navigating a complicated life chapter and trying to make sense of it. It isn’t automatically harmful, nor is it automatically helpful. It’s a process, and it deserves a calm conversation….
Quiet Protests and Offline Libraries
So here’s the thing. I’m not really interested in making the world “better” in that super political way everyone talks about. You know, the whole vote-or-die, blue-or-red, post-a-pretty-poster-made-in-Canva-and-feel-good-about-it thing. That’s not me. That’s never been me. But I do think we each have a lot more power than we’ve been led to believe. We’re taught…
Halloween, sort of
I tried celebrating Halloween this year—for the first time in ages. I even bought candy for trick-or-treaters like a responsible adult. If nobody shows up, I guess I’m stuck with it… which low-key sucks (I did not buy all this to become my own sugar gremlin). I went to a local Halloween event that turned…
Autumn Isn’t Magical—It’s a Mess (And That’s Okay)
This post was posted on October 30th, 2025. It was written at least a week prior to that. Enjoy! The truth is, I don’t know if I actually like autumn. I don’t know if I ever have. Sure, it looks good on Pinterest. Leaves turn burnt orange, people wrap themselves in cozy scarves, and everyone…
