Matt Rife Netflix: Natural Selection Review from a Sexual Abuse Survivor Standpoint

So, I was doing laundry this morning. While loading towels into the washer, I giggled when I came across a towel that reminded me of Matt’s sketch about “monsters under the bed with crunchy towels.” I use comedy to get me by, so this particular towel caused a thought to run through my sexual-abuse-survivor mind:

An Evicted Renter who Actively had Covid

On February 22, 2021, I tested positive for Covid-19, at which time I had to go to the court house and try to fight being evicted from my home, in Cherryville, NC. My husband, my daughter and myself were all sick and despite the moratorium, I was still evicted. When I took my positive test

A Year of Losses

Honestly, it’s been more than a year, but this last year, the losses hit me. Father-in-law, May 2017, my daddy in August 2017, Grandmother October 2018, around 13 family and friends, all gone. Passed away. It all happened so fast, it was a blur. And–it might sound crazy to add these as losses, but any

Forty-three years later, and I’m still dealing with the HOARD! Ugh.

As a little girl, we lived in destitute conditions because they couldn’t stop buying. Now, I’m all grown up and we’re having to go through a four bedroom, 3 bath house searching out our valuables: pictures, documents, and a few family heirlooms. The rest has been ruined by rat and canine feces. When we find

Now You See Me (Publication of the post What Doesn’t Kill Me).

A few years ago, I wrote a post detailing the love story between my husband and me. We met, 3 days later we were engaged, and six weeks later, we were married. After a tumultuous year of marriage, Brant fell ill with mold poisoning. He was in a coma for a month and a half,
