O is for Outrage Ok—organize is the obvious choice for this O day and I was all set to write a post about how we need to organize and protest and organize our lives to get rid of the stress of clutter and organize for change and while all those things are true, the word that kept popping into my head was OUTRAGE.

S.K. Reviews Golden Blood Intriguing Concept Wedged in a Tight Space Golden Blood by Tim Vee is an imaginative tale with some nice twists. Here’s my problem—This reads more like a synopsis than a novel. Not a lot of character development—mostly telling about the action instead of showing. Limited dialogue.

Add your own jokes below—be nice-ish. J is for Jokes As a Russian citizen, I am confused about why it takes America so long to get a definitive result from their election—we know our results months in advance! Remember when Halloween was the scariest night of […]
So many cautionary tales exist about people whose identities have been stolen with dire consequences. And we are all concerned about certain people who shall remain nameless (but whose name begins with Elon and ends with Musk) who now have access to our Social Security, IRS, and other data. Take care of your online identity. I is for Identity Use strong passwords and change them regularly. Do not use the same password on multiple sites. Oh, I know the problem […]
