When I Talk About Bigotry

August 31, 2015August 30, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ 2 Comments

There's a big disconnect in our society when we talk about bigotry. I think a lot of people in privileged groups believe that bigotry means something like "active discrimination and disrespect of a minority group" or maybe "active/vocal hate directed towards every single member of a minority group". There are a lot of people out … Continue reading When I Talk About Bigotry

Friday Fiction: The Announcement (FBA)

August 28, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ Leave a comment

This is a quick story set in the FBA Universe, created by Buck Hopper. Daniel Quvianuq is a polar bear Center for the Seattle Summit; he spends a good bit of the off-season with his parents in their hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Summit was bounced out of the first round of the playoffs this … Continue reading Friday Fiction: The Announcement (FBA)

A Look Through the Stacks

August 26, 2015August 25, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ Leave a comment

To be honest, I'm still recovering from Sasquan. Monday was a bit of a lazy day for me and Ryan, and Tuesday was all about diving into the day job. I'm mostly caught up there, just in time for my annual review later today -- at this point, I'm expected to prepare to hand off … Continue reading A Look Through the Stacks

Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015

August 24, 2015August 24, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ 1 Comment

The 73rd annual Worldcon was held this weekend in Spokane, WA at Sasquan 2015 and I showed up with a small posse of furry writers -- Kyell Gold and my husband Ryan. It was an intense weekend; I met so many great writers and community members out there, made a few new friends, bought over … Continue reading Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015

The Last Three Movies

August 19, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ 1 Comment

I miss posting movie reviews! And I would also like to learn how to be more efficient with my writing. So I thought I'd try to kill two birds with one stone by offering some short reviews of movies I've seen, three at a time. If something really warrants a bigger conversation, I might spin … Continue reading The Last Three Movies

The Anxious Rabbit

August 17, 2015August 16, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ Leave a comment

One of the reasons I believe Rabbit is such a helpful totem for me is that fear is such a strong emotion within me. I'm afraid all the time, of various things real and imagined, and that fear drives a great deal of my behavior. One of the lessons Rabbit teaches is how to move … Continue reading The Anxious Rabbit

My 35th Year

August 12, 2015August 11, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ 1 Comment

Last Thursday I celebrated my 35th birthday. If I'm lucky, this puts me squarely in the territory of early middle age. That means that for the most part, I'm starting to have fewer days ahead of me than there are behind. It's a sobering thought, but not a depressing one. Unlike most I really don't … Continue reading My 35th Year

Lessons of the 2015 Clarion Write-A-Thon

August 3, 2015 ~ Jakebe ~ Leave a comment

The Clarion Write-A-Thon is over for another year. This year, I wrote 40,570 words and raised just a hair over $400 for the Clarion Workshop! I didn't quite manage to hit my word count or fundraising goal, but I did finish two short stories, gotten well underway on a third, post a series of extensive … Continue reading Lessons of the 2015 Clarion Write-A-Thon
