Hello Darling Ones, It should come as no surprise that it seems The Current, and probably MPR (Minnesota Public Radio, of which The Current is a part of) in general, has a woman problem. And this problem is they do not value art made by women, specifically the art or work the women in their organization do. I feel pretty comfortable making that statement. I do not work for The Current. I also don’t know on a personal level outside…
Hi Darling Ones, I’m going to attempt to do my very best to adequately communicate how very much a person I do not know means to me and has meant to me throughout my life. I’m also going to try not to cry while doing this because Sister #2 is here from Portland and using my dining room to conduct academic affairs or some such thing and I don’t want to alarm her. Yesterday 89.3 The Current announced that after…
Happy Religious Observations Weekend, Darling Ones. For the first time in recent memory I was able to successfully cancel Easter. I didn’t have it in me. Not in a sad or angry way.

I folded & put away an entire load of laundry that I washed yesterday. Usually it lives in the dryer for at least three days. I showered and put on my new Medusa shirt. It makes me feel extra bad ass. The project manager of a new…
Hi Darling Ones, I’m not sure if it’s a generational thing or it’s a jodirational thing, but every time I think about my taxes Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly pops into my head and narrates all my taxation thoughts with various images from the Community Chest and Chance cards. This is probably because Monopoly was my first experience of taxes. The other day before I had to give the first of three presentations I was so anxious I decided to distract…
