Black and white the marks they fly Up into the sky so high Dragon’s breath and creatures vile Heros laugh with toothy smile Long ago or just last week Romantic tales make my knees weak And deep dark dungeons hold the clue To cross the river riddle me too By the fire burning bright On…… Continue reading Blur
Why I Write
Maybe this is egocentric, maybe this will inspire others to take up a metaphorical pen, or maybe this is meant as an insight to those who’ve valued whatever help I’ve lent them. I’d like to think motives matter, that intent makes a difference. Am I wrong? Is accidental help as useful? I would also like…… Continue reading Why I Write
Abuse of Trans Youth
Suicide Leelah Alcorn, may she rest in peace, left her home in December 2014 after leaving a suicide note on Tumblr and walked into the path of a semi truck on Interstate 71.

Are Sex Robots a Bad Thing?
Sometimes a random article grabs my eyes and I can’t help it, I start to read, and I can’t stop until I’m done.

It can make us realize that there isn’t one correct answer but a multitude that depend on your values, faith and…… Continue reading North Carolina Boycott – Hypocrisy?
Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?
I was reading about a five year old going to the Nova school in St Paul. There are a few different articles out there. It isn’t the school’s actions that have me concerned but the reactions of the other parents. We are talking about five year olds here. Their child was being bullied at school…… Continue reading Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?
The ides of April
A couple of short things to relate, both in the nature of the nature of a woman’s reality. Not all is green in the pasture of perfume and nylons, no indeed. I’ll try to be amusing as I can.
