Romance, Sweet Romance

The second stop on my queer literary adventure has been delightful! As much as Melmoth the Wanderer was a slog through meandering gothic horror, Joseph and His Friend, A Story of Pennsylvania, by Bayard…

    Here's Hoping We Don't Get Fooled Again

    August 19, 2016 / No Comments

    This is the umpteenth time that Trump’s campaign as tried to roll out a new version of Trump, who stays on message and keeps all that nasty hate tamped down until after the election. I don’t buy it and neither should anyone else. Dust away the stage trimmings and it’s the same Trump, as Pete Townsend said, “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

    Fibromyalgia is Real.

    July 19, 2016 / 2 Comments

    I was diagnosed with lupus 10 years ago and fibromyalgia 3 years ago. My reaction to the fibromyalgia diagnosis was incredulous. I am a master’s educated, licensed social worker and my exact words to my rheumatologist were “Isn’t that a made up disease?”

    A Response to the Madness

    June 13, 2016 / 2 Comments

    I have no words. Well, that’s not entirely true, is it? Here are my thoughts, do with them what you will.
