I'm currently reading Meghan O'Rourke's The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness. After spending close to a decade occupying that place she so poignantly describes, her account is painful, validating, and cathartic. She, too, was disbelieved by doctors. She, too, was told her labs were normal. She, too, felt the need to cherry-pick all but the... Continue Reading →

Throughout my 32 years of life, I've always been kind of weird. For the last six years, I've navigated up and down the illness spectrum--sometimes bedridden and sometimes passably semi-functional. Recently, new clues are making sense of the mess and I am way more excited than I should be about my likely genetic fuckery. Apoptosis... Continue Reading →
Last night, my boyfriend brought up a shocking internet prank where someone finds an adversary's address through their IP address and the places a call to the police departments pretending to be said adversary. The local S.W.A.T. team swarms an innocent victim's home, led to believe that the individual is armed and dangerous. The in-game... Continue Reading →
I am not a fan of fish, never have been and likely never will be. However, according to the results of my recent food allergy test, I may need to work on recalibrating my taste buds. Some results were not at all shocking. My body has been shunning cow's milk, cereals, peanuts and lima beans... Continue Reading →
