The Chronically Ill Patient’s Guide to Dealing With Doctors
Anyone who’s met my mother knows she has what is often tactfully referred to as a “strong personality.” When I had knee problems as a kid, and the first orthopedist we went to said something like “eh, if it hurts, … Continue reading

This week in ARGH
So. I spent the last week trying, as an experiment, to only post positive things on social media. I mostly succeeded (drinking + early season one of the new Scooby-Doo = bitching about Velma being a horrible abusive gf to … Continue reading

So! My recent post about my long hair was spawned from something I’ve been chewing on lately: having long hair at all.
The Problem with “Girlfriend Mode”
