Is there any way to avoid the rising waters of the cesspool of AI?

5 Things I do for funsies

While I have been zip lining and white water rafting and spelunking (never again), I much prefer to keep my feet on the ground and find ways to express my creativity through art, writing and making stuff!

If only we could un-invent

… All around the table the white haired men have gathered
Spilling their sons’ blood like table wine
Remember everything I told you
Everything in its own time

Cut Off My Nose and Call Me an Alien

I started writing this post a few months ago but stopped because I was finding myself getting rather worked up about the topic. I didn’t want to post something that came across too judgmental. Now that I’ve had some time to mull it over some more, I think I’m ready to share: I’ve been thinking […]

Radio-Silent Walks

Lately, I’ve taken a radical approach to my daily constitutional. Ok, it’s not so radical, as it’s essentially what people have done for thousands of years before the advent of portable music devices, but hear me out. For years, I saw a walk as an opportunity to pop in my earbuds and listen to a […]

Analyze This

Ever since my first psychology class in high school, I’ve been low-key obsessed with wondering why people are the way they are and why they act the way they do. Myself included. I wanted to see a therapist to probe the depths of my psyche way back then, but I was afraid to ask my […]

Merriam Webster defines it as: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). If you want to call me woke, well, thanks! I’d like to think I am, but I also know […]

Weighing in on Weight Watchers

I started writing this post years ago and never quite put the finishing touches on it. I recently re-joined WW to get back on track after an indulgent holiday season. My sentiments about it are still the same as when I wrote this – so here’s my story! Also, a lil disclaimer before we get […]

The Hermit Life

I haven’t felt much like writing lately. I have felt more like burrowing deep into my home and not coming out for an indeterminate amount of time. I suppose we could blame my melancholy on the time of year, although I am hyper-aware that each successive morning and evening is a little brighter than the […]
