The Jew, the Fag n' the Hag. That's us. My husband, my youngest son and myself. I'm being 'semi-facetious' but these words do describe a demographic that we individually fit. We can't completely escape this reductionism because it is a part of what makes up our identities. My husband is Jewish, my son is trans … Continue reading The Jew, the Fag ‘n the Hag

Fasting from Muffins and Memes?
Facebook, Instagram, whatnot. It's fun, I suppose. You can keep in touch with friends and family! (or not, and then that's just hurtful) You can keep up with the news!

Baie Verte Idyll
It is the spring of 2020 and the plague is upon us. I have every convenience and comfort. I ramble through the days like a protected queen in her castle.

My daughter and I even made it out to an free evening of short films organized by AFCOOP - two of the beautiful films shown that … Continue reading Let’s Go to the Cinema!
Whatever works
I have been attempting meditation recently, without discipline or consistency. But I know my ways work for me because I have discovered how to make myself happy.I found a'mantra', if that is the term, and when I repeat it, it lifts my mind out of my body. For my first attempts at mediation I listened … Continue reading Whatever works
