This week, we’ve got some writing-related news, including J.K. Rowling being lovely, and various other ladyblogging business. Shall we jump in?

After all, most state legislatures and Congress are on holiday, so they aren’t writing laws about my uterus this week. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of other misogyny in the news! (Trigger warnings apply for just about everything.)

Lunchtime Poll: Perfect Order
I just got done doing the dishes, and I realized that I have a very specific way of doing them, right down to the utensils. Plates, bowls, cups/mugs, pots and pans, large utensils, knives, spoons, forks.

At present, I share my house with three cats. Three cats that create what I think might be an unusually large amount of waste product by converting […]

Finances. Unless you’re in the financial industry, you probably hate dealing with finances, period. But you probably hate even more to discuss those finances with your significant other. As I’ve watched my friends join me in coupling off, I’ve noticed that one of the hardest things for couples to figure out is how to warm […]

We Try It: All Natural Cleaning
Let me start by saying I hate to clean. There’s no particular reason, I can just always find something I’d rather do than scrub, dust or vacuum the various parts of my home. So I’ll usually buy whatever product says it will allow me to spend less time cleaning and more time goofing around on […]
