magi-11 year old dystopian resident
My sister recently found an unfinished young-adult mecha scifi in our parents’ house. She insists it isn’t her writing, so it’s probably mine, but I don’t remember it. Maybe I do? I think I was in a creative writing course at a summer camp when I was 13, and our teacher told us to try… Continue Reading magi-11 year old dystopian resident

I wrote about the advantages of Facebook advertising for BlogPaws. Facebook can target ads to people with bachelor’s degrees who are veterinary technicians who own homes, are interested in soccer, and are parents with children in elementary school. That’s how narrow Facebook advertising can get.
How I’m Surviving the Fires: A Product Guide
I have asthma, so the smoke billowing from the nearby Eagle Creek Fire (and others!) is very serious for me. I’m not leaving the house unless I really need to.

I had a 75% chance of having thyroid cancer and was waiting to hear results from the biopsy.

When you look at the numbers coming in from your ads, you can’t be sure if the interactions with your ad are from interested individuals—who could turn into customers—or from trolls who drive up the numbers through spite.

Bicycle License in Memphis, TN
Once upon a time, Memphis, Tennessee, required bicycle licenses. This was my aunt’s, issued in 1949, when she was ten years old. She rode a J. C. Higgins. The license cost 50 cents. They used the wrong name. My aunt’s name was Claire, not Claira. For the record, I am very against requiring any sort… Continue Reading Bicycle License in Memphis, TN
