It is currently 12:14 AM and I cannot sleep. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow that I’m slightly anxious about, so despite my best attempts, I cannot sleep to save my life. It’s also been a hot minute since I’ve done any “publishable” writing. So, when you combine insomnia and a love for words, youContinue reading “I Wish I Could Be A Functionalist”

A Bible Reader’s Thoughts on Roe v. Wade
Yeah so that whole “one post a day” thing crashed and burned. Here we are folx, around two weeks after the Supreme Court made a ruling overturning the federal consensus on Roe v. Wade. As a woman in the United States, I have many thoughts. As a reader of the Bible and believer in God,Continue reading “A Bible Reader’s Thoughts on Roe v. Wade”
My Top Five: Jim Croce
So, I’ve come to the realization that as much as I love jazz music, I listen to a lot more folk, country, and singer-songwriter-y stuff. Hence why we’re now traveling into the beautifully painful universe of Jim Croce. I grew up with “Time in a Bottle” and “I Got A Name”, but it wasn’t untilContinue reading “My Top Five: Jim Croce”
Pt. 1: Dear Max Weber…
Before I dive into Max Weber and continue this rewind into posts that have been sitting in my drafts, I want to make it clear that I am in no way avoiding the current state of our world. I will be writing about the Roe v. Wade news, but I need time. I need time,Continue reading “Pt. 1: Dear Max Weber…”
Redefining Femininity
I have no clue which version of this post will actually be published. I’ve only written in four times now… This is going to be a hard one, but that’s exactly why I need to write it. I’ve recently started a few pretty large personal endeavors. One that wasn’t quite as voluntary is my journeyContinue reading “Redefining Femininity”
Barbie’s “The Princess and the Pauper”: Sociology-ified
Yes, you read that right… This post has been sitting in my drafts for months now, I’ve just been too embarrassed to post it. I was a really big barbie kid growing up (which I think may have done more harm than good looking back, but I digress). I watched all the barbie movies. BarbieContinue reading “Barbie’s “The Princess and the Pauper”: Sociology-ified”
What’s Next?
Well, if you haven’t noticed, I learned a lot in one particular class this semester. Though it kept me up until the wee hours of the morning, much like my residents, I’d rather have my intellectual brain keep me up than my emotional one (though she takes her turn too, don’t worry.) You see, theContinue reading “What’s Next?”
Hey, Stranger!
Well that was a longer break than anticipated… I’ve had some ~things~ to work out and work through this last little while, though I admit I never thought I’d be gone that long! Fear not, I’ve returned to this internet space, and with more thoughts than ever. I’ll admit that the last few weeks haven’tContinue reading “Hey, Stranger!”
Meritocracy and Disability: Part 2
My original plan was to completely rework my earlier post on meritocracy and disability. However, the more I thought about it, the more I decided against it. The whole point of these posts is to work through the overflow of thoughts in my head. Putting them into writing gives me space for new thoughts, andContinue reading “Meritocracy and Disability: Part 2”
The Spirituality of Counting
We’re going to start integrating some spiritual posts into this sea of sociological thought. If my brain doesn’t have enough space for all of the sociology running through it, then it surely doesn’t have enough space to also process the spirituality running through it… I’m ever so slightly uncomfortable sharing these in such a publicContinue reading “The Spirituality of Counting”
