This is not going to be polished; it is going to be a diary-like ramble and for that I do not even apologize because, my blog, my rules!! If you’ve been following this blog since its inception, you know that crying at school is more or less my worst fear. And today, that fear was […]
I’ve been trying to wash my clothes all weekend but every machine has been consistently filled with someone else’s underthings. I just checked again and, sure enough, all four machines are full of clothes in varying states of dry, sopping, and left-so-long-they’re-molding. I was a bit annoyed– I just want clean clothes, is that so […]
I feel like I talk about ‘dad things’ far too frequently and not nearly enough, but if you’re living in America this time of year, it’s all but impossible to avoid fatherhood discussions. Just about everything is suddenly the perfect gift for dads and grads! If I had a television, I’m sure I’d have seen […]
Part of Katherine’s care package yesterday was a picture of a lady in a yellow dress. Two years ago, after first learning about feminism, I wrote a ranty blog about wearing yellow dresses. I have no idea how Katherine remembered that post, but I thought it would be fun to dig it up and put […]
Opening Notes: Trigger warning! I’m talking about rape today. This is mostly a discussion of Rape Culture, but I absolutely understand if you need to head out now. Take care of yourself!

I’ve been obscenely absent from this blog as of late; you may have noticed that my few visits have been fairly detached and breezy. I’m going to take some time to speak plainly about the reasons for my distance. I’ve been more open with you on this platform than I’ve been with anyone else, in […]
Everyone!* *I work in an office full of goofy scientists. One sends out email updates that open “Everyone!”. I find it utterly hilarious. …It’s a rather mundane job.* If you know me at all, or know just one thing about me, it’s probably my obsession with the internet. A lot- maybe even most- of my […]
Little Known Fact: I was not born Lydia Page. I changed my name (rather recently, as it were) because of things like Feminism and Autonomy and Daddy Issues, or something. It was among the best decisions I’ve ever made, even though I still get confused when professors take attendance. It was also the most tedious […]
I love a good internet meme. I actually do mean “good” because there are bad internet memes. Literal music videos and LOLcats? Always funny. The banana dancing to the peanut butter jelly song? It was never funny. Most of this is a matter of personal meme taste, though we can all agree that this meme […]
