Boston Baked Betrayal: A Look at Nikki Bella's Villainous Turn
The November 10, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw will forever be remembered as one of the most magical Raws in WWE history. It started off on a magical note already. John Cena, for the first time in his storied and iconic career, finally... finally captured the Intercontinental Championship. He did it! He completed the Grand Slam, joining the prestigious list that includes Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and someone who we are still mourning 20 years later, Eddie Guerrero. Raw kicked off with something that I had been waiting at least a decade for.

Stop Harassing Women who Smoke
I could have smoked three cigarettes for how long it took me to find the right image to put with this article. I'm sure the AI generators don't struggle like I do trying to force an image into the pixel spot wanting a specific mood/look but not getting the number of pixels correct. Ugh. Ok, now that I've vented, what was I wanting to talk about today? Oh yeah, women who smoke. I did not light a cigarette while I wrote this venting prelude paragraph. I just wanted you to know that because as I move on to the next paragraph, I'm going to refill my coffee cup and then light a cigarette.

Wayne, An underrated, Under viewed, Gem.
These days, a good TV show is incredibly hard to find; my Netflix watch history could probably prove my point. It’s because of this rarity that I’m here to tell you about a true diamond in the rough and its title is “Wayne”.

Stating the Obvious: Evolution Needs to be a Perennial Event
We waited seven years for a second Evolution event. We all figured that it would be worth the wait. It ended up being worth so much more than that.

Celebrating Womanhood
Celebrating Ourselves March is recognised as Women’s History Month with 8th being known as International Women’s Day. As a friend said on the day, it is a day when a lot of people focus on negative statistics – assaults against women, intimate partner violence, pay disparities. All these things are important discussions. These are big discussions though, my friend’s thoughts turned mine to smaller but no less important matters.

Throwing Stones
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Evil Witch or Fairy Godmother?
As women, when we age and become riddled with experience, and marked by certain life events, we stop being sweet, young and innocent princesses in the eyes of society. Don't we?

Burst. Content Warning.
Well well well, fancy seeing you here! I know it has been a few weeks since my last post but it's been a turbulent time as those of you who read my author's notes will know. This is what this 'blog' story is about. I have my diagnosis!

The Thing About Shoes
Twenty years ago, along with people from several departments, I won a Core Values Award. There was a very nice paragraph read aloud with such nice things written by my co-workers. I got my picture taken with my boss and the CEO. I also got a clock engraved with my name and the year.

What If...Instead Of A Bear... It Was Coyotes?
I have waited for the train to slow down on the philosophical debate of Would You Rather A Man Or Bear In The Woods I waited mostly because I was busy being entertained by reading the comment arguments, and seeing men flail, gnash their teeth angrily, and thrash against what is society's view of their gender as a whole. I have seen men agree with the women, saying that there are men out there who are worse than bears (usually those guys are the cool ones, yah?). I have seen women, who by the profile pictures and their lifestyle photos tell me they wouldn't survive just walking in the forest, talk about how they wouldn't be scared of the bear and be able to make friends with it before a man was able to control himself.

Diary from Your Fat Friend. Content Warning.
You stand in your closet, turning from side to side, sucking in your "stomach." I watch from my perch on your bed. We both stare at your reflection in the mirror, and I dread the question I know is coming.

How NOT To Give Me a Performance Review
Ten years ago, during a yearly review, I was coached regarding my professional appearance. Advised to ‘wear more makeup’, be fashionable, be on brand.
