    People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

  • “Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend

  • My resolution last year was to do one thing before bed that would make my morning feel easier, and that’s become a daily habit that I’m carrying into this new year.

    Some nights even filling up the kettle and setting an empty mug out for my morning tea felt hard. But I was always thankful for it in the morning.

    Other nights, one thing would lead to another, and I’d wake up in a clean house with everything ready to go.

    And, on a rare few nights, the one thing that I could do to make my morning easier was going straight to bed and allowing myself to rest.

    What stayed the same each day is that I would take a moment to think of what I could do for my future self and do it, even after a hard day. And I would wake up knowing that I had done my best and any effort—no matter how small—was a kindness to myself.

  • I’ve been doing a lot of “a treat for future me” moments lately.

  • Every time I think about what the New York Times did to Susan Doku, I get a bit enraged inside

  • In case you don't know, Susan Doku, inventor of popular number puzzle game Sudoku, was outed as a lesbian by the New York Times in 2003. Many have speculated this was done more or less to slander her to the public so their attempted purchase of exclusive printing rights for the game could be done at a much lower price. She actually lost a lawsuit against the Times, as it was not deemed libelous, given she was in a civil partnership with her now wife, Christina "Chris" Ward.

    Susan also lays claim to the first recorded use of the word "polyamorous" in her 1994 essay "81 Squares"
