Males of the Internet, I submit to you the following: If you think you’re the target of misandry, you’ve probably done something to deserve it. Before I elaborate, let’s cover some trigger warnings. I’m going to talk about misandry, obviously, but I’m also going to talk about misogyny, degradation and devaluation of women, acerbic Internet… Continue reading The Myth of Misandry

Writer Report: The Wall
Courtesy Floating Robes It’s been said before, and I’ll go ahead and say it again: You have to fight for your time to write. You have to carve it out of your day with a butcher’s cleaver and a variety of other sharp objects. You need to covet those bloody chunks and make the most… Continue reading Writer Report: The Wall
Goals and Failure
I have certain daily goals. Write 350 words. Get my running pace to around 11 minutes. Spend wisely. Eat healthy. Lift more heavy things. So on and so forth. In addition to being an imperfect human animal, circumstances sometimes fall together in that a goal is unattainable temporarily, or I am too drained to reach… Continue reading Goals and Failure
Memento Mori
For two years running I’ve made the same post on Memorial Day, which starts something like this: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana We have the country we have today because people got pissed off enough to fight for it. America’s military is based entirely on volunteer… Continue reading Memento Mori
Writer Report: Struggle Within
I’m still not back to 100% on my regimens. The gym gets skipped or skimped on from time to time, finances continue to present challenges, I’m behind on getting Magic decks together, and oh yeah, I need to make more time to write. At least my brain has been active. The very nature of Godslayer… Continue reading Writer Report: Struggle Within
Castles & Chemo
Instead of my usual Writer Report, I’ve been asked to say a few words about the non-profit organization known as Castles & Chemo. After looking into this little initiative, I agreed wholeheartedly – they’re a great cause that could use all the support they can get. Dedicated to raising money to fight cancer through research… Continue reading Castles & Chemo
Writer Report: Let's Get Personal
Before you read the following, if you haven’t already, you should read this, the return of Hyperbole and a Half and her description of the last eighteen months or so of her life. I know this may seem a bit like I’m riding on her coattails, but after I carefully read her post, I found… Continue reading Writer Report: Let's Get Personal
Writer Report: Getting Back On Track
I think my dayjob has been getting revenge upon me for avoiding the office for a week while recovering. Back-to-back 10 hours days have been kicking me hard. I’m very much looking forward to the weekend, and am hoping to get back to working out once I get more sleep and recuperate somewhat. I have… Continue reading Writer Report: Getting Back On Track
Here We Go Again
More life is happening, more crises, more fires to put out, more more more. And I was almost done with today’s post last night. Ugh.
Writer Report: Recovery Period
I’m trying to think of the last time I was seriously injured. I don’t think it happened in conjunction with anything like flat tires and waiting for payday to roll around, however. It’s just been a comedy of errors here all week, and I’m still trying to roll with the punches. I’ve managed to get… Continue reading Writer Report: Recovery Period
