Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Compassionately intolerant

It's that time of year again. I need help winning the City Paper Best of poll.

If you know me already, the ballot is here.

Cheers. I sincerely appreciate your indulgence.

For those who don't know me...HELLO!

I deeply appreciate your help too, and here is the text from my facebook post: the ballot is here

I have a personal favor to ask, that proves that the personal IS political.

Background: I grew up in the kind of hell they make sad movies about. My father as a violent, alcoholic pedophile, and I lived alone with him for years. He was the sort of person that is so much more visible these days. He was fond of saying that he wasn't racist, he hated everybody. I lived through constant gas=lighting, every kind of abuse you can imagine, and under unrelenting threat.

Present: I am not even close to the sad statistic I really should be. While I've had plenty to work through physically and emotionally, I have built a life I never want to take a vacation from. I am healthy and warrior-strong.

I am a wise advisor, trusted guide and champion for constructive change. I spend each day helping others to learn the truth about themselves and to love it. If living well is the best revenge, my father lost YUGELY.

This very moment: My mission takes many forms, but the most easily explained is that I have been a life coach, counselor and consultant for two decades. Anyone who works independently, knows that the biggest challenge is being visible to those who need you.

I was voted Best Life Coach in DC in 2015 and I was the runner up last year. You'd be amazed by the number of people who find me through that listing!

So many people are struggling personally and professionally with the state of the world right now. The great gift of my past is that I have survived a monster, and I know what that takes. I want to reach as many people who need that kind of wisdom as I can.

The voting for this year's poll ends in a couple of days. Would you please help me to be more visible?

It costs nothing but 15 seconds of your time. I clocked it! And your email is only used to ensure no voter fraud. (Wouldn't it be nice if certain states were so thoughtful!)

If it would help to know more about my work, you can find me at my brand spanking new website.

Many, many thanks!

not your mom's socks.

Not apocalypse, but I've got a chance to get away from the Big Bad Bank and I'm looking for recs over on facebook. (You may remember our Big Bad Bank and their happy fun 'let's reject you for a loan you didn't apply for' behaviors) - So, tell me about your bank's toasters!

Some apartment~ma for K-Bug would be greatly appreciated. What should have been simple has turned into a very frustrating situation and they are out on the hunt again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If I could get some house-ma, I'd appreciate it...Or, actually, some Resonable-Counter-Ma. We're putting in an offer on a house today.

Why yes, we are going for the hetero-normative life milestones hat trick, why do you ask?

eta: Not pregnant. Possibly getting a dog, but not a baby.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

You guys were a huge part of how and why I was able to graduate and fulfill my dream of teaching.

I just wanted to give you a little peek into what I've been doing with my gift.

The second graders at my school just finished a unit and action project centering around immigration, refugees, and children's rights.
