I’ve been thinking a lot about this outbreak of “fake news” running rampant on social media and goaded on by the bloodbath that was the 2016 election cycle and what it means for censorship as well as its influence on the seemingly ever-widening divide between liberal and conservative viewpoints. I have the unique place of... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty numb today. After months of slowly building anxiety--chest-tightening, tears to your eyes, can't breathe kind of anxiety--I held this hope that it would finally be okay to breath out again. I even had a vlog planned for next Tuesday tentatively titled "Thank Goodness That's Over," but there was always the nagging fear in... Continue Reading →
It’s October 19th and there are a little under 3 weeks left until the 2016 Presidential Election, but I’d like to suggest that the election is already over. Why? You might ask. Is this going to be one of those “Donald Trump has run himself into the ground so Hillary has already won” pieces? No,... Continue Reading →
So I have a new job which means I have new coworkers. And it also means getting to know said coworkers. I have the interesting situation now of being extremely diverse in skill set and professional interests in comparison to my coworkers. In the past, I was surrounded by a small core group of other...

Changing my life has been a big theme in 2016. Well...I feel like it was a theme in 2015 too, but a somewhat failed one.

But I also know it’s very controversial, and what I really want is to give another perspective to counteract the vehement criticisms lodged against Louis Cole and Lane Terzieff for their time spent and video content produced in North Korea. For a little background information in case you’re completely... Continue Reading →
I am a woman, and I have an online presence. These things do not come without the price of creepy people finding you and trying to get as close to you as possible. I feel like I’ve been pretty fortunate in my 5 years on YouTube to have had as few run-ins with totally creepy... Continue Reading →
The last few years have been pretty rough for me emotionally. I’ve basically been living life in a way I didn’t want to be and couldn’t find much joy in which is why change is a welcome development in the narrative of my life. However, if you’ve read much of my blog or followed me... Continue Reading →
I feel like every time I go out of town, the news world blows up. Awful things happen. #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastile #Dallas Weird new trends pop up. #PokemonGo And I’m off in La La Land with little attention paid to my social media feed and even less attention to traditional news sources. Which is how I... Continue Reading →
Over the last week, I somehow watched an uncharacteristic number of children’s movies. And that was without the influence of any children. After viewing all of them though, it had me thinking about how different it is to watch children’s movies as an adult. Sometimes the jokes aren’t as funny or they seem too immature...
