It’s really hard to know what to do or how to help in the world right now, with all the things. So I’m going to blog one link for helping and one link for fun. First, if you have some money and you want to contribute to something somewhere, in a way that will actually… Read more »
Buffy
O______,
Hello everyone. This is your friendly author Kristin here. I wanted to let you all know that I have lost my mind. Here is an emoticon of me standing next to my disembodied head. I am thinking of using it as a soccer ball. /|/ O Here is an emoticon of me bravely using my… Read more »
“Angel’s just feeling a little off… and… he’s not in the mood to… you know… butcher a camel.”
So, I’ve still got those posts I want to write about writing, and I have a little time tonight… but I just don’t have the brainpower or the heart. Or, rather, I do have the heart, but it’s otherwise occupied. Brain, though: definitely absent. In the meantime, in the world of the Internets, books, and… Read more »
In Which the Author Is Tired
I like this post called Stop Telling People to Love Their Bodies, and some of the comments, too. H/t, R. Also, I’m totally enjoying the Buffy Fashion Roulette over at The Bitter Buffalo. On August 5, there’ll be an all-day reading of To Kill a Mockingbird at the main branch of the Cambridge Public Library,… Read more »
There’s No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
I wonder if anyone has ever written a paper about the wanton destruction of property and how it relates to the concepts of home and homelessness in the Buffyverse? Everytime I watch a “home” that I’ve grown fond of get torn up or chopped down or blown apart (for example — spoilers! — Buffy’s living… Read more »

Randutiae, Plus a FAQ: Do you have playlists for your books?
Before I get to the FAQ, I like my friend Sam’s short Tuesday post about climate change, blame, and responsibility. I also like this xkcd (though this one is still my favorite). AND I like watching those ladies luge. Have you been watching the ladies luge? The speed they achieve defies belief! And how about… Read more »
February 14: the Second Annual Interplanetary Be Who You Are Day. Plus, a Poll!
[Warning: There is a Buffy Season 7 spoiler at #23. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!] So. There are so many things to dislike about Valentine’s Day — which is why last year, I renamed February 14 “Interplanetary Be Who You Are Day.” The link will take you to a quick explanation, though I think you’ll get… Read more »
“Have we met?”
Here’s a moment from the first time Buffy’s mother, Joyce, officially meets Buffy’s vampire nemesis, Spike: Joyce [pleasantly]: Have we met?Spike: Um, you hit me with an axe one time.[Joyce looks confused]Spike: Remember? [helpfully brandishes imaginary axe] “Get the hell away from my daughter! Rawr!!!” So, now and then I like to ask my readers… Read more »
“It was my candle to St. Jude”
Announcement: I ♥ librarians. Why? Because librarians love information, know how to find it, know how to use it, and know how to help other people find and use it; and because librarians love, care for, and offer us BOOKS. And school librarians, in particular, share their awesomeness with young people without condescension. Thanks so… Read more »
