National Poetry Month
Helloo lovelies, and happy National Poetry Month! Of course, it's almost over, but just wanted to squeeze in my absolute favorite poem before we head into May. I don't write poetry, or if I do, it's terrible, so I won't subject you to it. But I did want to share "One...

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT HATE
A lot of people right now want to do something to fight the hate and prejudice that seem suddenly rampant, but they don’t know what to do. I find it alarming that in a free and democratic society, this knowledge is not more widely disseminated. We’ve gotten so used to...

An Aural Alternative: Baa Mix 88
Ah, yes, fall in California, a time of endless raking, ridiculous drinks, and an overuse of sweaters in weather that doesn't really merit it. And yet I still love it. Mostly because fall is when all the BEST albums come out. Looking at this now, I realize that it's a...
