Back at It Again…
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how long I’ve been doing this whole blogging thing. It actually started when I was around 12 or 13 years old. Back then, I had a Blogger account and would write my heart out, mostly just releasing emotions that I didn’t know how to express any other way. It was never really about who read it. It was about getting it out of me. I also had a blog on the original WordPress. I loved that space. I could talk to people online, share my thoughts freely, and not feel judged. Socializing in person was always hard for me. I struggled with bullying growing up,…

How Crocheting Cows (and Other Cute Things) Helped Me Heal
I learned how to crochet when I was little. But it wasn’t until 2020, when the world hit pause and outside felt like a deleted scene from a dystopian movie, that I really got into it. Y’all. I fell in love with crocheting. Not just because it gave my hands something to do while binge-watching old shows, but because it gave my mind some peace. It’s wild how looping yarn around a hook can calm your nervous system, but here we are. 🐄 Why I Crochet (and Why I’m Kinda Obsessed with Making Cows) At first, I made the basics: scarves, beanies, purses, a few blankets that took longer than…

Lovecraft Country: The Show That Gave Us Everything and Deserved More
There are some shows you watch…And then there are shows that stay with you. Lovecraft Country was one of those shows for me. A wild, beautiful, terrifying, brilliant one-season wonder on HBO Max, and honestly, it should’ve gotten so much more love than it did. Let’s talk about it. What Was Lovecraft Country? If you missed it (first of all: fix that), Lovecraft Country was a genre-blending masterpiece that aired in 2020. It was based on the novel by Matt Ruff, which was inspired by the world of H.P. Lovecraft, except told through the lens of Black people reclaiming horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. But this wasn’t your average sci-fi drama.Nope.…
