One of my most vivid memories from childhood was in kindergarten, where we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. There was every answer ranging from police officer to a dog. I remember drawing a scientist, crudely. There was a lab coat, and beakers and vials. Looking back it’s comical to […]

I Flew to Washington DC to Meet a Guy from Tinder
“Hey what are you doing next Saturday?” It started with the innocuous question I get asked frequently from my Tinder matches. “Working most likely, why?” “Do you want to fly to DC to see a professional soccer match?” *cue loud cackle* So what did I do you may be asking yourself? I moved my schedule […]
There and Back Again: A Saba’s Tale
Hello beautiful humans, sorry to drop off the face of the Earth again. But I made some life changes, and then undid some life changes, and basically I’m still as much of a mess as I was before. So lemme update you all on the last year of my life. I moved from Wisconsin to […]
What I’m Reading: Male Author Edition
In January I decided I wanted to read. I wasn’t feeling inspired to watch any shows or movies, and have so many books sitting on my shelf unread. I didn’t particularly love all five books, so these are books I read from last year as well that stuck with me. These are in no particular […]
Teenage Dreams Make Me Squeam
I watch what can only be described as, a fuckton of horror movies. Most everything I watch generally falls within the horror genre whether it’s a television show, movie, or even the podcasts I listen to. But there is only so much terrifying content a person can consume before you need to balance it out. […]
Ladies! and Kayden
I was applying to some jobs earlier this week, and man am I exhausted. It takes a lot of energy to sort through the thousands of potential jobs, draft a new cover letter, edit your resume, and get everything logical enough to submit. Then, a bright sunbeam of a human slipped into my DMs in […]
Saba’s Survival Guide to Getting Tattooed at a Tattoo Convention
I consider myself relatively well-versed in tattoos at this point in my life. I have gotten tattoos abroad and in the United States. I’ve gotten tattoos in open layout shops, and ones with separate rooms. I have some that required uncomfortable angles, or for my tits to be out in the wind, but this was […]
Being Non-Monogamous in the Age of Monogamy
I’ve never explicitly described my relationship status since my break up, because I wasn’t writing, and I didn’t find it important. If who I sleep with changes your desire to like me as a person, then good, fuck off. You can sleep with whoever you want, or not sleep with whoever you want, and I’ll […]
New Year, Kill Me
It has been over a year since posting, and honestly I missed this. This was a project I was passionate about and it all just fell to the wayside. The start of 2018 was a very rough break up from an abusive partner, and then the year just spiraled out of control. I was working […]
The Break Up
It’s about to be a new year, and because of that I need to get this off my chest. I broke up with my partner back in November, and I’ve been doing my best to heal and move forward. I wrote this piece the day he moved out, and I want to share it. One, […]
