i feel like i’m floating. laying on my back, staring at the sky as i drift upon this river of…. ??? i’m not sure. i can’t see it. i feel its waves splashing against my skin every so often, ice cold one moment and boiling the next. and each boiling wave leaves patches of scars, [...]
yesterday, my car told me her name. after an evening storm, the roads were coated with fog. when driving on the unlighted side roads that twisted and turned every few yards, the only thing one could see was about a foot of pavement underneath a dense blanket. nights like these are rare, but when they [...]

Yes, you read the title right. I won’t say that I don’t like WoW anymore, because that’d be a lie. But I will admit that it’s been wearing on me as of late. With the pigeonholing and simplification of specs, constant references and examples of racism that are essentially encouraged through quests, and the continuation [...]
This is my attempt at a post for February’s Blog Carnival of Mental Health, developed by Astrid and hosted by Differently at Ramblings of the Differently Sane.

Or at least in my world. It’s what works for me, so I’mma do it. I’ve been avoiding the trans community for [...]

Before you start thinking about all that you know about the disorder or its American historical counterpart Multiple Personality Disorder, probably influenced by media portrayals such as that train wreak of a movie Sybil – stop. Now. These portrayals are so wrong and full of tropes it’s not [...]
