That bit of oomph
Well hello there. I haven’t seen you in a while. Are you well? Are you being crazy productive in lockdown? Or just watching lots of shows and eating your way through the house?

Permutations of us
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day! We are... a magnificent multitude of multi-cultural microcosms.

Today's word of the day at Miriam Webster is: Resile Definition : recoil, retract; especially : to return to a prior position So, what does today's word make … Continue reading New words
Where’s the line?
The other day I read an article about the attractiveness of humility and it got me thinking. Is it true? Where is the line between arrogance, cocky, self-assured, humble, and false humility? We know it differs by gender. Men can state what they know unequivocally, while women are expected to down play their abilities. If … Continue reading Where’s the line?
