Laurustina

I am a middle child, political junkie and freelance writer. An engaged agnostic, bereaved trans-parent, and a Californian both by birth and by choice . Also admittedly neurotic, known to be narcissistic, a book-eating, flick-fancying, bagel-making bitch currently obsessed with Indian cuisine, Bill Moyers and Tom Waits. My blog is a mix of short stories, stupid-proof recipes, book and film reviews, grief-work and trans-advocacy.
