This Mother's Day Thing Is A Mixed Bag

We love our mothers. Of course we love our mothers. But they drive us crazy. They raised us wonderfully/strangely/amazingly/poorly or they didn’t raise us at all. They fill us with love or hate or guilt or horror or remorse. We take care of them or they take care of us. Perhaps we have never met them. Perhaps we like it … Read More

Becoming Mob, Judge, Jury, and Executioner

The horror world has been a mess lately, and I mostly try to stay out of it. I want to help where I can, lend support to those I love, and lift my skirts above the spilled blood we’re all wading through. But things are reaching a fever pitch and I need to say something. Be careful. Be careful of … Read More

Meet Bunniculas Cage!

He is sweet and tiny, and we love him. Did I mention we love him? We love him. Even Thug Bunny, who hates everything and everyone, loves him. It’s the sweetest thing. Welcome to the family, little guy.

Pimp A Friend Friday: Yarn Baby

I went to school with an intelligent, quirky, AWESOME girl named Shannon. You definitely want her on your robot apocalypse team.

Shannon is good … Read More

These Cats Should Be More Miserable Than This.

These cats belong to my friends and fellow writers, who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty. I have laughed and laaaaaaughed at these pictures of their cats until I couldn’t laugh no more. BEHOLD!    I die a little inside when I see these pictures. And I’m grateful for their owners to love them enough to force some indignity … Read More
