Morning Femmetation: Tastebud Chaos

Like most in the good old Northeast, I prepped for the storm. Did some rather quick shopping on Saturday (tres vite ’cause it was freezing outside) and made it home in record time. Was rather pleased with my accomplishments (hey I beat the storm and the crowds!) That is until the moment I realized I’d picked up fat-free cheese by mistake. Yes, you read that correctly. Fat. Freaking. Free.

I am snowed-in with fat-free cheese, y’all…and well, the shit’s delicious. Delicious! I can’t taste the difference and this fact alone is messing with my tapeworm something fierce.

My question is – and I do have one – if there’s no fat in it, what’s it made from? The milk of skinny cows? Does it come from the udders of very fit same-sex lovin’ bovine butch cows that are milked once a week?

If you know, let me in on it. I’m afraid to read the label any further by myself.

Morning Femmetation: If It Wasn’t For Coffee…

Coffee is delish this morning. A score for the positive in a lake of negativity. I’ll take it.

Like everyone else lately, I’ve been inundated with the incredulous news of the white supremacy terrorist siege on our nation’s capitol.

Of the silence of the Blue Lives Matter crowd. You foul hypocrites. His name was Officer Brian Sicknick. Say it.

Of likening GOPers fleeing their own self-caused chaos to “rats on a sinking ship.” Newsflash: Rats can tread water for three days. That’s seventy-two hours for cowards to type resignation letters while pretending to consider the 25th Amendment.

Dusting off the keyboard and itching to write. But, getting back into the groove is hard.

Very hard.

There is no prose walking through my mind. No multisyllabic cadence.

Nothing.

I’m at a loss, really. Words have danced in my soul since I was four years old, maybe even as young as three.

My sister blames it on the crisis of our democracy, lack of humanity, and on racism, sexism and being virtually shut-in since March 2020. Who can be creative during this?

More than likely she’s right.

All I know is…I miss my words.

Morning Femmetation: Slammin’ Joe

Happy National Coffee Day!

I realized after I made this most perfect slammin’ cup of coffee – rich Colombian roast with hazelnut creamer – that today is a day of celebration.

Little known coffee facts be here (according to Good Housekeeping):

• Coffee is Ethiopian in origin. Seems that shepherds’ noticed that their goats got twitchy and whatnot after eating the unknown berries.
• Coffee used to be eaten as a snack. Okay, so some things really don’t change.
• Throughout history, coffee has been banned at least five times. Fools they were.

So, join me in a cup of fabulousness (we gay folk make everything fabu, baby) today. And remember:
