Like all unique and wonderful snowflakes, I have something unique and wonderful to share with the world. More unique and wonderful than anything currently online, obviously.
Seriously, though, I've spent the last 3+ years on Facebook (don't worry, I have real life friends, too) and recently realized that maybe it isn't the best platform for me to share links with my commentary. Granted, I'm sure all of my 500+ friends want nothing more than to read about the latest development in physics or about genital mutilation in Africa or about a new interpretation of Shakespeare, and I'm sure they especially want to see that in their feed. I'm sure the onslaught of nerdy-feminist-newsy topics really excites everyone, but I want to contain and build that excitement somewhere other than between photos of someone's ultrasound and tales of drunken revelry.
So I'm starting this blog.
For the record, the name refers to a 100+ (I'm really into the "+" sign today, go figure) e-mail chain that lasted about a month last December in which two of my friends and I shared cool shit we found online. That e-mail, of course, started as a talk about Monkeybread, one of the most delicious and easiest to make desserts known to man, and devolved into ThinkGeek products and random webcomics. And no, my name isn't Wendy. A kid, after knowing me for 6 months, couldn't remember my name, and ever since then, it's just more fun to sign my e-mails as Wendy.
Besides, someone has to feed the Lost Boys. Even if it is with monkeybread.
Hello, world.

Though much time has passed, Monkeybread lives on. I am proud to declare that I was a player in that, the finest chain of e-mails I have seen to date.
