An I-have-no-idea-what-series-this belongs-to Blog Curling has been rocked by scandal. While I haven’t figured it out yet, or even read anything about it, the breaking news story is that the Swedes have accused the Canadians of cheating by tapping the granite rock with a finger as it passes the “hog line,” the line over whichContinue reading “Cornhole and the Olympics?”

Nara doesn’t eat cake
A Surviving Facts Blog As I’ve shared before, I’ve spent too many hours— mouth agape except for muttered curse words— exploring the trad wife trend on social media. One of the early influencers in this area— although I don’t think the trad wife category really fits her— is Nara Smith. Nara, now a mother ofContinue reading “Nara doesn’t eat cake”
Is it a Ho Ho or the Apocalypse?
A Surviving Facts Blog (though it feels like the end of the world as we know it) My depression looks like a half eaten Ho Ho, an imitation one because this came from a bakery rather than a box. I’ve been eating healthy— make good choices, I say to myself— but I succumbed yesterday justContinue reading “Is it a Ho Ho or the Apocalypse?”
I got nuttin’
A Surviving Facts Blog I am paralyzed— emotionally, mentally and physically. I have words to write, deadlines to make, a small business to run… and I can’t. I watch Substack videos, read news articles, compare coverage to see viewpoint differences. I try to make sense of what I hear, I cant. I cannot comprehend sentences.Continue reading “I got nuttin’”
Putting out the trash: A New Year’s wish
A Surviving Fact Blog Typos corrected The beginning of a new year is always a great time to purge and get rid of the things you don’t want. Here’s what I’m getting rid of this year. I have a huge garbage bin as big as I can imagine—made from recycled materials, of course. It’s stuffedContinue reading “Putting out the trash: A New Year’s wish”
Writing and rebellion
A Surviving Facts Blog This little blog of mine is hardly a threat to our government. I have a solid reader base and know both supporters and detractors read and comment. This is my microcosm of rebellion. If I took my comments to Tik Tok or instagram and spoke my fear and discontent out loudContinue reading “Writing and rebellion”
A horrible, awful, terribly no good year.
A Surviving Facts blog New Year’s Eve— the end of one year and the beginning of another— is my least favorite day of the year. I have my reasons. It’s not really a new year. Before the Romans, ancient societies built the calendar around the rhythms of the moon. A year was supposed to beContinue reading “A horrible, awful, terribly no good year.”
I failed my MRI, and I’m alive because of it
Into the Wilderness: Story 58 Ten years ago, I was hospitalized with acute abdominal pain. My temperature was 105, and I was vomiting and crying with pain. Less than an hour later, after an MRI with contrast, the young, extremely tall doctor pronounced: “gallstone-induced pancreatitis.” A gallstone had lodged in my biliary duct. The resultContinue reading “I failed my MRI, and I’m alive because of it”
The New Nasty Woman: Marjorie’s Movement
A Surviving Facts Blog What the heck has happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene? Seriously. When did the scales fall from her eyes? And how? What did it? What specifically? Here’s my theory. Supporting Trump has been similar to being in an abusive relationship. Battered women’s syndrome occurs when a woman has been in a violentContinue reading “The New Nasty Woman: Marjorie’s Movement”
Is Project 2025 the far right’s Nuremberg Laws? Part 2 of original blog published March 2025
A Surviving Facts blog Last March, I wrote a blog about Project 2025 being the far right’s new Nuremberg Laws. Forgive another “told you so”— last week I re-published with commentary a blog on the billionaire bros and other Top 1%ers not being nice people— but I predicted this development as well. Now, the remainingContinue reading “Is Project 2025 the far right’s Nuremberg Laws? Part 2 of original blog published March 2025”
