Exhausted? Good news: It’s your fault

It seems like everyone is absolutely exhausted these days. Tired beyond reason. Like the kind of tired that sinks into your very bones and turns you into a depressed but sentient form of human goo that can do things like earn a wage but can’t do things like brush your teeth, shower, or make a… Read More Exhausted? Good news: It’s your fault

Content is about more than immediate rewards

Snail on green ledge, crawling down to lower surface.

One of the things that is sometimes weird about being person who plans content within the context of SEO in the modern business world is that it doesn’t often fit within the expected frame of pumping out something as fast as possible to then show off the immediate and glorious benefits that made the company… Read More Content is about more than immediate rewards

Fictional relationships that have turned me to goo

You know how sometimes you become too invested in a fictional couple? That’s me, currently. And while I have wild ambitions to fill this blog with smart posts that closely analyze media and show that I am capable of deep and nuanced thinking…uh, instead here’s a list of some of my favorite fictional couples! In… Read More Fictional relationships that have turned me to goo

You are enough

Listen. You are enough. You don’t have to be more. Being you is enough. You are valuable and your worth can’t solely be measured by what you produce. Or by what you achieve or fail to achieve. Or by what invisible standards you are trying to live up to. Maybe you’ve been tired lately. Ditched… Read More You are enough

Don’t Look Up: Flawed, entertaining, too long

Kind of like The Power of the Dog was my third experience with Jane Campion, Don’t Look Up was my third foray into Adam McKay. Or, rather, my third foray into Oscar-nominated Adam McKay films. I’ve also seen some of his work from before he was critically acclaimed including both Anchorman and Stepbrothers. (In a… Read More Don’t Look Up: Flawed, entertaining, too long

The Power of the Dog: Throwing off vibes

I had heard about The Power of the Dog several times in passing before I saw it. Mostly what I heard was that it’s good, it’s on Netflix, and I should watch it before finding out too much about it. So I decided one afternoon just to put it on. And, man! Was it weird!… Read More The Power of the Dog: Throwing off vibes

Finding some value in the Academy Awards

It’s not really news that the Oscars are a hot mess this year. They’ve been a hot mess since, well, forever, as far as I can tell. There’s simply a baseline of pure nonsense associated with Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony. Even now, when things are changing due to all the extremely valid criticism of… Read More Finding some value in the Academy Awards

Writing is hard. So is the pandemic.

Blonde, white girl lying facedown on bed, hair in front of her face.

Setting goals for yourself can be a double edged sword. If you’re an Achiever type, who needs to get a set number of things done in a day or you feel like a Failureā„¢, goals motivate you. They are invigorating. When you reach them, you feel so great. But, if you are this type of… Read More Writing is hard. So is the pandemic.

You’re a woman who has it all

Blonde mother tickles laughing child on white couch with striped pillows.

The sunlight filters in through the window and highlights your laughter as you eat salad with your friends. Yes, you have a lunch break. And friends. You are a woman who has it all. A career that you enjoy. That doesn’t feel precarious (at least not at the moment). You are lucky that your job… Read More You’re a woman who has it all

Pick the Mission: Impossible that fits your mood

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m kind of on a Mission: Impossible kick. (If you want to read about that journey and determine whether you should get into this franchise, read about some of the best M:I tropes.) One of the things that I like about this movies, besides it being really fun… Read More Pick the Mission: Impossible that fits your mood

Writing is sometimes a bit of a compulsion. I love dogs and baby cuddles and baking. I run a lot of races for someone who is bad at running.
