Last week was a really, really rough week. Worse than usual, even. Scary terrible things happening, and very suddenly and unexpectedly, as is usually the case with scary terrible things. Lots of complex and intense feelings I didn’t know how to handle. Lots of memories of really awful things that happened to me in the …

Blogathon: 20th Hour
I’m kinda maybe possibly sorta running out of ideas of things to write about. Or at least things I can write about with a highly limited time-frame and a brain that is rapidly losing its ability to function. What is it with superpowers and the colour green, anyway? Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Green Hornet, Green …

Blogathon: 19th Hour
