This past weekend, a young man posted a video about how he hated women for rejecting him. How he was going to get retribution by shooting up a sorority house. And that’s precisely what he did. The normal topics after a mass shooting came out. We need more gun control! We need

I started three different blog todays before I realized that writer’s block had set in. Spending the morning convincing a five-year-old she really can swim and then diving in to the job search will do that to a girl. (Side note: Bill Cosby is way funnier when you’re a parent. In honor

I’m not super girly, or so I’ve been told. Personally I think I’m very girly. I’m just not that into fashion (related, is this circuitboard dress too much?). I’m not sure if it comes down to being the only girl in the neighborhood, being immersed in geek culture in middle and high school,  or

I’m really terrible at writing titles. Every week I sit here in front of my laptop, post complete, staring at the “Enter title here”.

It’s exciting and enlivening- my favourite kind of weather. (There are probably some deep psychological issues there I need to explore, but I

Disclaimer: Sennheiser provided me with these headphones for review and giveaway, this in no way affected my review. The post does contain affiliate links, #FeedABlogger. Two weeks ago, tragedy struck. My beloved Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones died after five years of loyalty (which really is pretty amazing for a pair of $30 headphones). Since I was

It’s here. For years I never thought it would come. The last paper in turned in, the last project done. The last pointless lecture about “real life lessons” that adult students don’t need has been given and the cap and gown and hood are hanging and ready for the ceremony. I’ve reached the

There’s yet another post going around the internet about how men don’t belong in derby. I’d post it here, but it’s more of the same and more of what we’ll see again. And as I read through the arguments put forth, I realized I’d heard them all before, except they had been directed
