Dear Loft, You Suck

April 16, 2021April 15, 2021Leave a comment

A couple weeks ago, I found out that Ann Taylor Loft is phasing out its plus sized clothing at the end of this year. When they first launched, I bought a lot of work separates--they had the best quality slacks in the game and I gave them rave reviews in my 2019 post about the … Continue reading Dear Loft, You Suck

Plus Size Problems

April 14, 2021April 14, 2021Leave a comment

I got triggered today, when I was listening to a podcast today (not going to name it because I don't like them enough to give free promo) and the topic of body shaming came up in regards to Lizzo.

Social distancing ad inifitum

May 21, 2020Leave a comment

We are fully two months into the pandemic. Everything has changed and at the same time, not much. Many states (Texas included) have decided to reopen, often based on data that was incomplete, flawed or outright manipulated. Individual counties are trying to keep people safe, but fighting a losing battle because apparently, white people think … Continue reading Social distancing ad inifitum

Notes from the field

March 24, 2020Leave a comment

  It's Day 11 of the quarantine. The hardest part for me is staying on task with working from home and not being glued to the news all day. The upside is that I no longer have an excuse not to make time for working out. We use one of the spare bedrooms for a … Continue reading Notes from the field
