Remember, O Thou Man Week 4: Why Solzhenitsyn is in My Top 3 Historical Figures, feat. more ‘Four Last Things’ than some might be able to stomach

Tallyhi friends! How are you on this fine Monday to end all Mondays? *waits for response* Oh it’s not Monday when you’re reading this? I wish I could time travel. I’m a pretty patient person, especially with spreadsheets, so let me tell you I don’t say lightly that we are all sort of losing our […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week 3: A Lenten Meditation, as sketched out by the Hand of the Artist In A Soul I Once Knew

Title kinda says it all. If you’ve read the sister post, you sort of know what I’m about to do. If not, I don’t really know how to explain it to you, so I’m just gonna launch in. Actually, I take that back. I think this one needs some more clarity. Although first: hi. How […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week Two: I swear this discussion of Hadestown is Really Quite Relevant

IT IS REALLY QUITE RELEVANT. If I were a character in Greek mythology, I would swear on the River Styx. Just…read it. And then I dare you to tell me it’s not applicable. Also hi. How are you, my friend? Are you taking care of yourself? Just because life is busy and it’s Lent doesn’t […]

Project Victor 2.0 + plugging Fic Frenzy

Hullo everybody! Taking a brief pause in Remember, O Thou Man to bring you an updated version of Project Victor. For anybody that’s new, here’s the full original introductory post, but the elevator version is: That’s about it. The name of the Project has a threefold meaning: a) the goal of any challenge, writing or […]

Remember O Thou Man Week One: Judas, Despair, and a Smattering of Fan Folktion

Tallyhi my friends! Now before you say anything: I did actually mean to start this out punctually. I meant to post this first post of the ‘event’ last Monday, or even on Ash Wednesday. Unfortunately, though, your girl fell horribly sick with the Doomful Virus that Shall Not Be Named. I’ve had it before and […]

A Somewhat Harum Scarum Q&A–feat. some questions from a friend but also many of the unhinged WordPress Prompts

Hello hello hello, my friends, and happy Mardi Gras! I am, for perhaps the first time in my life, doing a seriously big thing for Mardi Gras. Our new choir director (as of the first of the year) decided the choir ought to put on a Madrigal Night fundraiser for Mardi Gras–it’s basically dinner theater. […]

An Unromantic’s Attempt to Write Romance–Roasting and Ranking (most) All of the Couples I’ve written

Hullo friends! So last year a post landed on Valentine’s day; I wrote about some of my favorite fictional romantic couples, from the perspective of a non-romantic (which is what I am). Somehow, it’s my most viewed post of all time. 😐 So apparently you people enjoy when I torture myself (and you) with discussion […]

Some of the Liveliest Folk Songs I Know–also, the situations I recommend them for

Hey guys hi. How are you all today? *waits for response* Um, yeah, I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently enmeshed in like a gazillion different disasters at once. Everything from legal tangle (no, I did not do anything stupid or illegal; other people did stupid and semi-illegal things and unfortunately I’m now dragged into […]

Announcing Remember, O Thou Man 2023 (+ a few other things)

How is it already almost Lent again. Ahem. I assume a lot of you know the drill already, but in case you don’t, allow me to explain. And elaborate. And bring out new graphics. And ramble about some unrelated stuff. Tallyho! Lent is a Formidably Neat Thing So Lent, of course, is the period of […]

I Hath Been Tagged–the Sunshine Blogger Award

Tallyhi friends! This coming to you from my living room, on a very cold day, with impending winter storm outside, and (appropriately) the snowed-in episode of Alive From Whispering Pines running in the background. I have coffee and my comfy hoody and I am ready to answer some entertaining tag questions, courtesy of my dear […]
