Cheers.

I have this one friend who is way cooler than me, and way holier and way more popular and way more educated and everything (and older! ahhahaha!). So, I called him last night. I was ready to say, “Yeah, I’ve got all these things in my life, but I’m not 100% sure what I’m supposedContinueContinue reading “Cheers.”

Lalka

My mom has a friend named “Mirek,” but the name is Polish, not English, so it’s pronounced more like, “Mee-dehk.” When I was a little girl, I was afraid of Mirek.

Don’t judge. It’s my own form ofContinueContinue reading “Such words. Much length. Very racial injustices and how I don’t know how to love as I should”

State of the Union, 2014

So. It’s birthday time on the blahg. WAIT A SECOND, before you jump to conclusions: is isn’t my birthday, it’s the blog’s birthday. Happy birthday, blog! I’ve been writing for two years now, which is weird to think about. Because when I started I was kind of like, “Will I have enough of the thingsContinueContinue reading “State of the Union, 2014”
