On the Riots of 6 January 2021: Part 2
Readers-mine, there are terms being thrown around that many people do not truly understand. Some of the tweets, posts, and comments I’m reading online make me want to teach people how to use a dictionary, so I’m going to use this post to define those words in hopes of creating a clearer conversation. I am…
On the Riots of 6 January 2021: Part 1
This has been a tough week, readers-mine. You’ll have to pardon the fact that I am a few days late as we had a family emergency, I was dealing with Turtle’s birthday and memory sharing, and I’m still in recovery from surgery. So, between the personal stuff and the national stuff, it’s been quite the…
An Explanation of Kwanzaa
Readers-mine, I have been doing some research into Kwanzaa. I know that it may seem like an odd thing for a middle class white woman to want to learn about, but here’s the thing: I think that the more we know about the cultures around us, the more informed we are and the better we…
December
One thing is for sure, 2020 has been a doozy of a year. It’s been filled with all sorts of loss, health issues, and problems, both for me personally and the world. However, it’s also been filled with love. It’s been filled with people stepping up and helping each other out. Hopefully, 2021 will be…
7 Empowering Songs from Disney
Well, readers-mine, November was a complicated month, and I just watched the live-action Mulan. It got me thinking about Disney songs and the power of them. When I looked up lists empowering songs from Disney, many of them weren’t actually about empowerment, but were fun to sing or were simply the song certain movies are…
Lovecraft Country: What’s in a name?
This entry is going to be about the names in the television series, some of which differ from the book. Atticus Turner becomes Atticus Freeman, to match his father and uncle, and Caleb Braithwhite, who doesn’t exist in the show, becomes Christina Braithwhite instead. I assume these changes were made to make the family relationships…
Lovecraft Country: Who was Lovecraft anyways?
Howard Philips Lovecraft (20 August 1890-15 March 1937) was the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, a writer of weird fiction, and a master of horror. He wrote for pulp magazines and focused in on the idea of where humanity fits into the universe, a genre that has come to be known as cosmic horror. One…
Lovecraft Country: An Introduction
I do want to make it known that neither the book nor the HBO show are for children in any way. Both are created for adults who are critical thinkers and understand that fiction tells us the truths that are often too difficult to face in reality. It creates a space for us to be…
Hello Again! Personal Notes and the Roller Coaster Known as 2020
Hello, hello, readers-mine. A friend has asked me to start blogging again and I really rather enjoy designing websites, so I decided to create a brand new one. I’ve migrated all the old stuff over, so nothing should be missing, though I have found that some formatting got a little funky in the transfer from…
