How to Survive on the Internet in 2025 Life is tough, especially now. While the internet used to be a fun place where you got to hang out for a few hours every once in a while, now it's a place where we have to be because that's where ever...

A little piece I wrote about how to maintain your sanity while existing on the internet in these absurd times.

What I thought I would have at this point in my life:

A plastic bag full of other plastic bags
Crippling anxiety

If you run a blog (or a website of any type) spam is just a fact of life. But now I'm getting AI generated #spam. Fun…

Today is Sunday, September 28, 2025 Two days in the life—laundry, a trip to the pub, a walk, groceries, and then back to the grind. It's almost October, and yet it still feels like summer when the sun is out. I'm not sure if that's norm...

Sometimes #Reddit is amazing. Someone asked about the weirdest frugal thing you've ever done, and suddenly we're talking about how #cats are weird little angels. I love it.

Happy birthday! That t-zone ain't gonna moisturize itself, lol!

(But seriously, if you have tips, I'm all ears. Never realized I was going to turn into a potato chip once I hit middle age. Dry and crispy, and yet somehow still still oily. WTH?)

Sitting on my balcony, listening to Heartbeat City by The Cars, and also writing about it for a upcoming zine.
