The Clock Stands Still At The Witching Hour, So Let The Storm Have Its Way With You.

... the Hawk Woman has come for you, and She does not take kindly to refusal. Can you hear Her screeching in the storm? You might mistake Her for a Banshee if you were to miss the befeathered locks and temple-dancer adornments. No, this woman is no Banshee, but She has no warm, maternal arms ...

Why Do We Women Feel The Need To Save The World?

What is it that I have quietly learned in my 21 years as a female on this planet that has taught me to feel that if I spend my Sunday baking brownies to devour all by myself, lounging pants-less with hairy legs reading a book or watching 15 episodes of Family Guy, or napping or dancing or ...
