Hello, fellow quarantined human! Or future alien historian! As one of America’s many Citizens with Depression, I have consumed uncountable hours of streaming television. Even as a pre-teen, I religiously watched an episode of whatever DVD collection I was working my way through, usually Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Xena: Warrior Princess, every evening. At […]

Holidays The USA No Longer Deserves
Life update: I have sassy bangs now, so I’m going to be one sassy motherfucker. Ya know, something new and different for 2020. You’re welcome. And now, for the holidays the USA does not deserve. Spoiler alert! For white people, it’s all of them.
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.”
Disclaimer: watch the video so you’re not confused My one sentence review of Childish Gambino’s new music video “This is America” is simple: it’s uncomfortable, but the right way. 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 […]
