In Season 14, I tried something new. Instead of focusing on one character, I split my time on two characters. One was a hardcore Barbarian, which was playing as part of the Solo Self Found League. The other was a softcore Demon Hunter, which I was playing with groups.
In this blog, I have gathered up the best of the screenshots I took while playing my softcore Demon Hunter.

This poem was originally posted on Medium on September 17, 2018. The inspiration for this poem was the frustration I felt after noticing that the meanest people on Twitter are using it as a machine to manufacture outrage and hate.
I read The Outrage Machine on Words of Jen episode 059.

Our lovely cockatiel Poke (also called Poquito) passed away today. She was 16 years old. She loved to explore and to find hiding places.
She will be missed by us and the rest of our flock of cockatiels.

I’m going to start this blog by saying that I have dental insurance – but it doesn’t cover very much beyond regular checkups. At my most recent checkup, the dentist found some expensive problems that need to be fixed.
Content warning: This blog post contains details about my most recent dentist appointment. I’m not going to post anything graphic and will not include any photos (other than the one at the top of this blog).
In Season 14, I decided to play a Hardcore Barbarian as part of the Solo Self Found League. I did a Season Rebirth on Zena, a Barbarian that I’ve had for a very long time.
Unfortunately, she didn’t make it all the way through Chapter IV. So, this blog post shows what happened at what turned out to be the end of my Season 14.
In this episode, I share three pieces of my writing that originated on a website that no longer exists. I put them all together after realizing that they worked better that way.
I read “Where were you on 9/11?” on episode 040 of Words of Jen.

Years ago, I wrote three separate blog posts about 9/11. The first was about where I was when it happened. The second was when a class of first graders asked me questions about what happened, and the third was a ceremony that the entire school participated in.
I wrote these short pieces of writing on a blog that paid writers by the page click (and that no longer exists).
I read “Where were you on 9/11” on episode 040 of my Words of Jen podcast.
In 2015, there was a measles outbreak in the United States (and other countries) that began when someone who had the measles visited Disneyland in California. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that measles had been eliminated from the Americas (the entire land mass that stretches from Canada to Chile).
But now, measles is back because people are choosing not to vaccinate their children against a dangerous, and preventable, childhood disease. In this blog, I will present facts about measles and the MMR vaccine. This blog also contains a timeline of the measles cases and additional contextual information.

Neko Atsume is an adorable game where players attempt to entice cats to their yard/home. The Giant Cushion is large enough for two cats to use at the same time. The cats in Neko Atsume are able to share!
The Giant Cushion flavor text says: This cushion is large and sturdy enough for fiestas or siestas. It costs 25 gold fish in the Neko Atsume store.

This is Malfeasance. I got this creepy pet from a Menagerist Goblin shortly after Season 11 ended. The Menagerist Goblins are the only ones that drop pets.
The flavor text for this pet says: Could it be Malthael’s country cousin?
