It’s good to be back home! I am once again doing all-day PJs even though you know I hate that. Increasingly I find travel of all kinds to be intensely exhausting, like on a moral level. I return home and spend 7 hours drinking coffee and looking at comics on the internet. I just want […]

Dear Mr & Mrs, For health reasons, I am switching to a vegetarian diet. Can you give me some easy cooking, grocery shopping tips? I can’t afford to keep buying prepared meals. Simple recipes are what I need, but no kale! Long-winded answers please! Yours, Elizabeth Huzzah! This young one, undaunted by the lengthy rants […]

Like my recent viewing of La Femme Nikita, I was discomfited by how much my memory of Juice fell short of Juice’s actuals. The first twelve minutes of the movie are just people getting dressed for school and while it does tell us some things–Tupacs dad is messed up, Tupac looks good without a shirt–it […]

This post tells the story of the session at FOO camp this year that I co-ran with Matt Webb on the Manufactured Normalcy Field. It explains the background of the idea, describes the structure of the brainstorming session, outlines its results, and then tracks some of the uptake of the idea since FOO, specifically in […]

The second in a series, this post retells Greek mythologies of The Saw. Part Two: The Extinction of Talos Talos drew a toe across wet sand. A giant letter B. Then an O an R an E and, just as the shallow suds washed in, a D. The ocean slid back and left his word […]

New post over at Advice! And I re-posted that long rant from earlier. This new one’s not a rant, though, and is about dogs, and is as usual very very long. Should you get one, and what does it all mean? I have very strong feelings on this issue but also my advice is very […]

Dear Ms. (Mrs.?) Regarding – I guess I am confused because technically your husband is Mr. Regarding – in these feminist times? ANYWAY, here is the deal: I want a dog! I feel such a deep longing for one and I even looked at some on the internet already (they all are so nice looking, […]

Yes, Zot raises the interesting point that is how scary God is, too. Sure, maybe stuff all has meaning but what if that meaning is a sucky one? The idea of God is super scary, especially once you read the Old Testament and it’s like, “Moses, go to Egypt” and Moses is like “Ok” and […]

New posts over on Advice! One is some very realistic and helpful advice about engaging with the world of publishing in a more proactive way, and one is a very long, unrealistic and unhelpful discourse on generational legacies, narcissistic 30-somethings, and the hopelessness of life. Guess which of us wrote which one! Uplifting Words Sometimes […]
