Why U No Post, Nora???
Since I took my latest blog hiatus, a lot of shit has happened. You think I'd have strong opinions that I'd want to share. I'll not lie. Over the last little while, I've seen a lot of news pieces, or other some such, that tickles the part of my brain that says "That's a blog post, Nora! Get on it!" The problem is so much of those 'tickley' moments have been depressive, ugly, and/or down right hostile. And I have learned that dwelling on the negative is not good for my mental health.
For instance, conservative Republicans recently decided that transgender folks are responsible for the fall of Western Civilization and decided to declare war on us. As you might guess, I have a lot of thoughts about this. But to allot the required time and energy needed to write a response that is both soundly reasoned and devastatingly witty at the same time, means I have to wallow in their hateful, pig-shitted muck and mire, logically inconsistent train of 'thought' far longer than is healthy for me. "Well, don't do that," I can hear you say. "Only spend a small amount of time and energy." But that's just it. ANY amount of time and effort is too much. (Just writing this risks sending me into a tailspin.)
I need to figure out a healthy way to express myself through my writing - because I do enjoy the writing part - that doesn't hurt so much mentally. So if you've been wondering where my blog went here you go. And if you're wondering if I'll return to regular blog posts, the best I can say at this point is, "I hope so."
