Where there is conflict, there is agreement

Have you ever known one of those old couples that each grumble about each other, caught in a spiral of bickering and mutual criticism? One of them dies, and, inevitably, someone says, “He joked, but he really loved her.” But did he? Or was he just stuck in a downward spiral with her? I remember […]

Divorce

New show recommendation: Divorce on HBO, starring Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City) and Thomas Haden Church (Sideways). Now, yes, I know I write a lot about divorce. Here’s why: it’s the biggest way in which society has done me wrong. Society and pop culture makes us all terrified of it, like ending a […]

Yes, I’m in love. I’m not ashamed

I know… can you really love someone you didn’t know a month ago? Most people would say no. But then most people don’t know this kitten. Boo is the sweetest, lovingest, snuggliest creature to ever grace my path. When I work on the couch, she sleeps on my shoulder. On my shoulder, people. Sometimes she […]

I’m so happy, y’all

I am so blissfully joyous. I can’t quite share the reason yet, but it is so sweet and it feels so right, like an old, familiar, beloved blanket. So good.

#notokay

I was twelve years old the first time I got groped. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve read this story before, because I’ve written about it at least twice. I was walking home from grammar school in my Catholic schoolgirl uniform – I still remember the exact spot – when a guy just walked up […]

Full stop. Seriously people. Please.

I don’t think if you’re on here I really need to explain this to you, because you probably wouldn’t be on the website of the author of a book about an undocumented immigrant if you didn’t have at least a smidge of compassion. But Trump. Ugh. First, to my readers with girl parts: no one […]

A female Trump

It’s kind of hard to satirize a guy who sounds like a walking Onion headline, but my little brother does a pretty good job of it. Here’s his latest on the Huffington Post. Click here.

A sweet rekindling

I was an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi books when I was a teenager, and well into my adulthood as well. I find that my reading tends to come in waves, though, and some time in my twenties I got into a non-fiction book phase which probably lasted about a decade. Then I had […]
