“It’s not pointless suffering,” I told Ming. “It’s part of a process.” Ming and I were on a trip to the Astoria area so I could worship the Columbia River, rest by the beach, and go to my favorite beeswax magical candle shop. Wow, what a trip. We also got delicious water from a forest… Read More »

It’s about a child who was born with a health issue, and it’s gorgeously illustrated fanfic. I actually think of it as a zine. But this book asks the reader to have new ideas and… Read More »

Hello, reader. How are you doing? I don’t think of myself as obese or overweight; I don’t use those words. Those words are painful for me. They hurt me. Thank you for not using obese or overweight around me, if you get the chance. I like fat. When I’m talking to someone who I think… Read More »
