A bit of discourse stirred up a lot of grief and sadness for me. Noah Smith did an analysis of the much discussed Atlantic piece “The Myth of the Broke Millennial.” His breakdown is excellent and I recommend the Twitter thread where several of my geriatric millennial friends weigh in on how late in life […]
I’ve never written fiction as I’ve always presumed it was a different skill set to write a story than it is to write an essay. You’ve got to manage plot, pacing, character, and dialogue to write a story. In an essay you’ve only got to worry about plot and pacing. Many will argue that it’s […]
As I age from maiden into crone (many millennials missed mother) I find myself uncovering emotions I missed during the forced march through corporate feminism & Girlbossism. The meritocracy takes its pound of flesh. I climbed the chaos ladder & am grateful for my perch but I did not understand what I sacrificed to participate […]
I was pleased to wake up to a near perfect recovery score on my Whoop today. Because I manage a few chronic health issues I am a bit of a stereotypical biohacker type. I happen to be rounding the corner into my best two weeks of the month and am seeing my biometrics improve. While […]
I’ve been sick for the last week and a half or so, so this round-up is coming on the last day of 2023. As you may have gathered from my title schema, I have been writing every single day for 1095 straight days. That means I’ve been doing this for three years which is a […]
I’m enjoying a double header of hormones today. I’m in my luteal premenstrual phase which always leaves me tired and emotional.

One of our hens died today. My husband took on eight chickens from one of our friends a month ago It was an exciting moment. He really wanted chickens and it felt like great luck. The family was moving and so Alex stepped in. If it were just me alone I probably wouldn’t have any […]
Every time I have have cause to interact with any medical speciality I find myself blown away by just how little we know. I’ve been going back to doctors to understand what my options are for living with an autoimmune condition and having children. And the truth is we just don’t know much. I made […]
I’ve been working on getting a deeper understanding of my hormone profile and where I can better support my cycle. I’ve been surprised by just how little we seem to know about women’s health and the baselines that are considered ideal. Between the battles over health education in school (abstinence only) and the eagerness with […]
A toxic morass of content has been circling on Twitter and corners of the chattering classes on TikTok, Substack, and podcasts that I’ve taken to calling gender bait. Topics like “body counts” and the relative degrees of acceptable promiscuity in women (as little as possible) is everywhere. We are main charactering single women for sleeping […]
