The First 5 Things I Remembered Piss Me Off
I quit my job so I’m going to have a blog again! You’re welcome. Feel free to skip to the list if you don’t want to hear about my life. Just kidding! This is a personal blog. There is no escaping my life. Sorry. While I have become a kinder, gentler Rhi thanks to the […]
Elon Musk is a Trash Human
First of all, welcome back, haters! I have been taking some time to focus on me and my health, pet puppies, be a bridesmaid, fall into an extreme depression that could only be cured by reality television, and experience nirvana at an A’s game I attended by myself. More on that later for those of […]
Becoming Borderline
Disclaimer: this is some heavy shit with references to thoughts of death and other negative thinking. It’s a story I believe people need to grapple with, but make sure it’s the right time and place for you to read it. DIsclaimer #2: I will refer to myself as crazy. That does mean it’s cool for […]
Being a Teacher Really Sucked
I taught in Washington, DC schools for 1 year and 8 weeks. In honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, I dug up this personal essay I wrote back in early 2015 about why I just couldn’t fucking do it anymore. I’ve added in some additional commentary, which will all be in italics like this. I’ll be […]
You Should Read the Damn Constitution
Today marks the beginning of a series of posts on the Constitution. I’m not a historian, but I took two classes in college and recently finished a book called White Trash that you should definitely read if you enjoy using your spare time to learn about depressing shit like how power structures of the past […]
White People Need to Deal with the Message of “This is America.”

It’s particularly uncomfortable for me to watch. As a white person, that’s part of making sure I’m not contributing to my people’s history of being […]
Mental Health and the Crash Diet
Disclaimer: weight loss can be a difficult subject for anyone. I keep it snarky, but I also keep it real. If you’re not in the mood, it’s OK. In late December of 2017, I made the boldest move of my 28 year existence. Keep in mind, I once played in a 24 hour rugby game. […]
I’m Still Pissed About Wonder Woman
You Can’t Spoil A Movie This BAD. You’ll be OK. Not to be that white woman who has to make everything about her, but my third thought after I watched Black Panther was “Wonder Woman was shit.” To be fair, my first two thoughts were: 1. OH MY GOD […]
Hot take: The Roseanne Reboot is Gross
Note for the underinitiated: Roseanne Barr refers to the real person, Roseanne Connor refers to the character. There isn’t much difference, because Barr can’t act for shit. I watched the fucking Roseanne reboot so you don’t have to. No, I did not do so in a way that would actually improve its ratings or give […]
