This won’t be a lengthy post. Jared and Mairead have been dealing with a personal loss and I have been overwhelmed with anxiety and work…but I wanted to write at least a little. The perfectionist in me (and she’s not super nice) wants me to post more, on a schedule, and be super good aboutContinue reading “Labels/Empathy”

I DIDN’T WRITE ANYTHING IN JANUARY. Which is awful. I wanted to write. But there was so much going on that it felt like any time I lifted my fingers to the keyboard, a new thing happened and rendered every thought I’d wanted to express no longer relevant. This is okay though, because it spurredContinue reading “Being “PC””

What I’m about to write about may not be a revelation to every single person who reads it, but I wanted to share some thoughts on a concept that wasn’t eye-opening personally either, until it was explicitly pointed out to me. This post will be me doing that “explicit pointing out” for anybody who mightContinue reading “The Impact of “Intention””

We took a “Command Climate Survey” at work the other day. The objective of this survey is to determine organizational strengths and deficiencies- primarily in regards to equal opportunity and communication, within a unit. I went into the survey super annoyed. Pretty much exclusively about things going ON at work though and not our generalContinue reading “The “Lower” Standard”

A couple of posts ago, I discussed “The Abortion Issue” and I think this film pairs well with it. It shares the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s (Rest In Power <3) entry into law and her first step toward the Supreme Court. Although this movie doesn’t discuss the topic of abortion- I feel as thoughContinue reading “Resource Post: “On the Basis of Sex””

Jared and I started this website to share personal thoughts and stories so that we could try to help people who have faced similar experiences feel less alone… and to try to connect with and reach the hearts of people who may not have experienced something that one of us has. This whole project isContinue reading “M.I.A.”

I’m not able to be extremely transparent about my views about who should be in office, due to my position in the military. (I’m aware it would be easy for people to guess). I am, however, able to share my views and beliefs on political issues as long as I remind people I am onlyContinue reading “The Election”

I know I’m late. I honestly feel terrible. This is just such a HUGE topic to unpack and I didn’t have the time to give it the credit it deserves, which prevented me from pushing something out on a long weekend granted to us by a holiday that I, personally, will always observe as “IndigenousContinue reading ““Columbus Day””

(Spoilers ahead….) I identify as bisexual. JK. I mean, I AM bisexual. But that’s in my bi-o, so it’s not a great spoiler, unless you haven’t read that yet. In which case, then….it’s still not really a spoiler. More of a….”surprise!” Kind of. Anyway. I didn’t actually start this post to talk about me. WhatContinue reading “Resource Post: National Coming Out Day!”

This took me way longer to write and put out than I wanted- so I’m really sorry about that. I have been rolling thoughts about this post around in my head for weeks, but I have been absurdly busy and I was afraid to try to write on such a sensitive topic while being preoccupiedContinue reading ““The Abortion Issue””
