Accountability

graphic that says no photos, just words

Yesterday Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges in the murder of George Floyd. I and millions of others were relieved and almost celebratory. But a guilty conviction on a crime that had multiple eyewitnesses on the scene AND recorded and played over and over thousands of times should be natural, and a slam dunk, and completely expected. The fact that it is not is reprehensible. “You were told, for example, that Mr. Floyd died because his heart was too big. You heard that ...

Postcards to Voters

As part of my evolution into baby activist, I have been writing with Postcards to Voters for over two years now. (I signed up in October 2018, which is another reason I'm happy I keep a blog.) And while we are creeping up to the point where it might be too late to send a postcard now for the November 3 election, postcard campaigns are sent year-round for Democratic* candidates. No matter who wins the presidency, the fight for everyone in the US to be safe, loved, and warm never stops. If ...

Facebook fail

Although I try really hard to avoid it, sometimes my social media friends have acquaintances who are ... problematic. Usually I ignore them but sometimes they catch my eye with ridiculously crappy words and racist attitudes. Which is how I found the guy with this cover photo. Kind of snipery, isn't? So I reported it to Facebook as problematic. Annnnnd got this response. Tilting at windmills... ...

Families Belong Together – Philadelphia

When in the course of human events, you realize that current, government-sanctioned practices fly SQUARELY in the face of your idea that everyone should be Safe, Loved, and Warm, you get off your ass and go hollering. Which is how I found myself in Philadelphia on Saturday for the Philadelphia Families Belong Together rally. Because I can't be in this only for myself. I took the train in. It was full of people of all ages, with crafty signs and optimistic smiles. It was one of the ...

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
