Today is March 15, so I dug up my old newspaper column published in this week in 2019 that addresses current events in relation to the Ides of March. Once again I found it both uncanny in its prescient predictions and yet disheartening that we’re dealing with the same issues then as now, not to […]

Anyone else struggling to find humor from literally anything in our daily national news these days thanks to the deluge of demented dribble coming out of the White House? That’s why it surprised me when one terrible tidbit from the latest in ludicrous lies tickled my funny bone. Especially because it involved stomach-churning, nail-biting threats

Yes, I’ve been keeping informed about what’s happening in my country, I just haven’t been writing about it for my own sanity. Ignoring bad things won’t make them go away, but I’ve tried not to emotionally react to events and atrocities wrought by the current presidential administration that were clearly expected, even if worse than

There’s yet another cartoon from 2017 circulating on Bluesky, this one a WaynoVision bit of snarky genius, wherein a Puritan man lights a fire beneath a woman labeled “WITCH,” she being tied to a stake, while he says to her, “I’m the real victim here.” As discussed in two previous blogs posts this month published

One extraterrestrial being says, “Take us to your leader.”  The human responds, “Only if you

First, let me just say on this Groundhog Day that I chose the accompanying photo because the critter looked as if they might be inquiring, “What the hell is wrong with you people?” I haven’t covered Groundhog Day in my Other Worldly novels or in this Luna Moth Woman blog, but I did once write

This post is for alien afficionados and for those avoiding the news agony avalanche by binge-watching retro shows this past week. The best part of the week for me was memes on social media about alien abductions. My favs were: At this point, if I get picked up by aliens, I’m just going to go

Sexism is in the news (congressional confirmation hearings for incoming administration cabinet pics, so no surprise there); sexism remains rampant in real life (moronic MAGA Congressmen mansplaining what sexism is and isn’t to women); and sexism is all too prevalent in American movies no matter what the era (said members of Congress apparently also don’t

Aliens Watch, seventh in the Other Worldly series, has launched! Here’s your opportunity to travel to Saturn, aka Cultura and the agricultural planet if you’re an alien, and perhaps avoid what’s happening this month in the new year 🙂 You might even meet Bigfoot or a few other supposedly mythological creatures. As always, the paperback
