In this episode, I read a poem that I wrote on February 23, 2017, (on a Tumblr account that no longer exists). The poem was my way of responding to the endless stream of awful news about what Trump – and the people he nominated or selected – had been doing.
I read “We Are In The Wrong Timeline” in episode 17 of Words of Jen.

Years later, I read this poem again on Episode 066 of Words of Jen. It was unexpectedly relevant because were were still dealing with the Trump Administration and also living through the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is Lamb. I got him from a Menagerist Goblin during Season 8. The flavor text for this pet says: The battlefield is no place for a child, unless he’s got a copper sword.
This episode features a piece of writing that I wrote in late December of 2016 – but that is about something that happened in the 1990s. It includes discussion about my period.
If that’s not something you are comfortable hearing about, I recommend you opt-out of this episode and come back for the next one.

I wrote this in late December of 2016. The events in this piece of writing took place back in mid-1990s. At the time, I was in a long-term, miserable, relationship that wasn’t working. One could call it a “college marriage“.

In December of 2016, I wrote about a situation that made me feel very conflicted. A person, whose creative works I enjoyed, had expressed political ideology that I consider to be hurtful in their most recent work. I wasn’t sure what to do with that.

I wrote this in December of 2016, after learning about a controversy that simply didn’t need to happen. The United Nations designated Wonder Woman as an Honorary Ambassador. This caused some people to create a petition in an effort to push the United Nations to reconsider that choice.

In late August of 2016, there were people talking on social media about the horrible advice that some guy was giving to men. He encouraged them to harass women who were wearing headphones, until the woman took them off.
I read “Stop Bothering Women Who are Wearing Headphones!” in episode 13 of Words of Jen.
