Habari gani, fam? Today is one of my absolute favorite days of Kwanzaa, where we celebrate the virtue of Ujamaa, or Cooperative Economics. The creativity, drive, and passion of our community is unparalleled, and it's always exciting to shine a light on the people we can support with our money, word of mouth, and even … Continue reading Kwanzaa 2020: Ujamaa

Further Confusion 2019
Further Confusion 2019 is this weekend, and every year it sneaks up on me just like this. Lulled into a false sense of normalcy by the end of the holiday season, I start to get into a pretty good groove when suddenly the third weekend of January taps me on the shoulder to remind me … Continue reading Further Confusion 2019
(Friday Fiction) Mr. Roovum Goes to Washington
Hurley was not expecting to be greeted by the sight of a giant Kangaroo in a tailored three-piece suit when he opened the door to the roof of his newspaper's headquarters, but here he was. The Raccoon had rushed back from lunch when he first felt the tremors rocking the street, and by the time … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Mr. Roovum Goes to Washington
(Travel) A Jackalope in France and England
My Husband, The Dragon and I got back to the United States last Wednesday afternoon, and it's taken us a minute to catch up to things after two weeks out of the country.

(Friday Fiction) Veniamin Kovalenko, Werebear Detective
This week, Veniamin continues to be dragged through the briar-patch of therapy, kicking and screaming. Dr. Mabel Watney tilted her head and looked at him in a mixture of disbelief and exasperation; it was a universal matronly expression that silently screamed "What did you just say to me?" Veniamin smiled to himself, glad that at … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Veniamin Kovalenko, Werebear Detective
(Friday Fiction) Br’ers #3: High Afternoon
"So does like, seeing a hawk scare you now?" Jeremy pointed to the silhouette of a bird coasting in lazy circles above the trees.

From … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Br’ers #3: High Afternoon
(Fiction Friday) Br’ers #2: The Stranger Comes Home
After the carefully neutralized scents and sterilized surface of the government facility he had been staying in, coming home was almost overwhelming to Aaron. The van he drove in from stank of metal and fast food and countless agents who had been there before him, and even with the windows rolled up and the air … Continue reading (Fiction Friday) Br’ers #2: The Stranger Comes Home
(Fiction Friday) Br’ers #1: The Bus
Aaron wasn't prepared for how weird it would feel to be in a t-shirt and shorts while everyone else on the bus was rocking layers, but there was a lot about this he wasn't prepared for. He wasn't prepared for the dirt and wet clinging to the fur on his feet even with the sandals, … Continue reading (Fiction Friday) Br’ers #1: The Bus
