poet. feminist. a little bit magic.
Lately my brain feels like the part in the documentary Dear Zachary when the twist is revealed and the screen explodes with an angry cacophony of manic, split-second imagery and blown out speaker sounds as one lone voice yells "fuuuuuuck" in the background. I feel like I'm finally on the precipice of being able to be …
To clarify: these aren't necessarily books that were published in 2019, rather books I read in 2019 that I think should be read by everyone else. When I was in middle and high school, I never read fewer than 6 books at a time. As an English major, I spent the majority of my four …
Well, unsurprisingly, I broke a lot of the promises I made to myself this time last year. I think I've been going about things wrong. Neat little lists with concise little goals look good on paper, but they don't adequately represent the amount of work that goes into each one. And for someone who has …
I don't know, I'm still up in the air about it. I've started using two other sites for writing throughout this year (Medium and Tumblr, they're linked in the sidebar; I'm too lazy to put them here too) so it seems silly to try and revive this but. There is something nice about your name …

My writing journey is taking me away from this blog. It's just not the sort of writing I want to do or even attempt to keep up with. So I've cancelled my premium WordPress account. I'll most likely renew my domain ownership when that comes up this spring, since it makes sense to keep my …
The book club thing's on hiatus for now. I'm having a hard enough time focusing on things that don't require even a modicum of the work that project would. If you didn't see my tweets, instagram post, medium post, or the title of this blog post, let me catch you up: my cat, Minnie, died …

Well, in a sense. One of my goals for 2019 is to read more, but the notion goes a little deeper than just racking up the numbers on my "read" list on Goodreads. Sure, I'll skim through some trash fiction and beach reads throughout the year, but I also want to really dive into some …

i spent the last few days of 2018 watching my cat basically die and then come back to life, so 2019 can really only go up from there.
I hate the advice "live life with no regrets." And I don't particularly trust people who say they "truly have no regrets." Just because you learned from a regret doesn't mean you wouldn't do things differently were you given a do-over. And just because that might not be true for one regret, that doesn't mean …
Disclaimer: This is a list of My Favorite Albums released in 2018. I'm sure there are many more "technically" better albums that were released this year, but they either a) missed my radar because they're not in my preferred musical genre wheelhouse or b) were forgotten about by the date and time I'm writing this …
