My Foster Siblings

Trigger Warning: This post contains references to child abuse, including possible sexual abuse. Why was I on hiatus? For one, I was exploring other blogs, some devoted to specific topics, some meant to be “and this is the last blog!” But the main reason is almost a year ago, my mother, whose home I will […]

Am I My Brother’s Keeper?

Okay guys, let’s do some straight-up biblical analysis. We haven’t done that in a while and this is great timing for looking at these two pieces, I think. Plus, it will keep my mind off the jester who’s stolen the thorny crown. And I don’t mean Bob Dylan. Let’s chat about Cain. Poor Cain. He […]

Morals Without the Garden of Good and Evil
