Breath of Fire. Burn the Air. Write About It, If You Dare.
At times, I’ve felt like I was suffocating until I wrote the first few thousand words. Writing is my “in case of emergency break glass” box—but there’s always an emergency, so shattered glass is a given.
The Powers That Be Can Take a Hike
The Powers That Be knocked the wind out of me, so I wrote another poem to say f*ck the patriarchy.

White women keep missing the fucking memo.
As I continued to research the provenance of "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" I learned more than the proverb's origin. White European men fabricated modern motherhood on a flawed premise. We cannot do the same; we need intersectionality, too.
A Day Late, a Blog Post Short: What to blame my InfoDump delay on now?
I had hoped my brain fog and lack of energy would have released me from a type A notion that I could in fact write THE perfect post to start this blog. Instead, I lamented that I did it again, like last January, when I launched FLOWLab⁵...that I made a bit off more than I could chew...
