Helpful hints by Sally; metro edition.
When you are packed into the metro like sardines, it would behoove you to think of others. When you decide that you absolutely must have that thing in your pocket or bag right now, you need to consider the fact … Continue reading
Today is the first day of the rest of your paranoia.
Or something like that. oof. Rough morning in the metro for me. Some short dude behind me was actually resting his face on my back and snoozing during the ride in. It was a packed-like-lemmings-into-shiny-metal-boxes kind of morning. In true … Continue reading
Stupendously overdue post
Well, it’s been a week. It feels like 2-3 weeks. Here is a nice, bulleted list for you of all the things that have happened: Ripley was amazing on the flight and held it for something like 13 hours. Got … Continue reading
Moscow vs. anywhere else.
Okay, there are entire sections of the world that I have not seen and will most likely never see, but I found it hard to return today. It’s so damn dark and corrupt and people don’t love their city, surroundings, … Continue reading
Follow-up #2, following up

On being feminist in Russia, with follow-ups to follow:
I’ve been thinking about this post for a few months now, trying to figure out how to word it to convey my feelings in a truthful way. Without exaggeration or too much rage. Without clenching my teeth and my fists … Continue reading
From icon overload to the metro
Once Lumpy returns to the States, I’m planning on spending some quality time alone. I’ve been touched and/or pushed by one person too many today. I fucking hate Russians on the metro. Some of these people would get their asses … Continue reading
Same post, different blog
I’m posting this here and in Toots and Sally. It’s about running, but it also has to do with Moscow. Today was the first real snow we’ve seen here, so of course I slapped on ye olde waterproof trail runners … Continue reading
