I wrote this in early October of 2014, in response to something that was being talked about in the news. Several celebrities – all female – had their nude photos stolen and distributed without their permission. Here are my thoughts about that situation.
I read this piece in episode 10 of my Words of Jen podcast. (The photo above comes from Pixabay.)
Many places have a Taco Tuesday discount once a week. People can go in and get a tasty, inexpensive meal, and the restaurant makes a lot of money on a weekday evening. Taco Tuesday can be relaxing.
In episode 9 of Words of Jen, I read “Taco Tuesday“, which I wrote in 2012. Taco Tuesday isn’t usually this dramatic.

I wrote “Taco Tuesday” in 2012. It tells the story of what happened when Shawn and I went to get tacos at a local place that sells them at a discount on Tuesdays.
I read “Taco Tuesday” in episode 9 of my Word of Jen podcast.
In this episode, I read a poem that I wrote in 2016. It is based on something that happened on Twitter. I think there are many women out there (and possibly some men) who have had the same, unfortunate, annoying, experience as I did.
The poem is titled: “But I Was Just Explaining…”

This poem was written in 2016 about an unwanted “discussion” (for lack of a better word) that I got pulled into online. I had retweeted something that was both political and about women’s access to health care.
Somehow, this was enough to inspire a guy whom I only vaguely knew to flood my Twitter feed with angry, “mansplaining” comments. I’m quite certain that other women have had the same, draining, frustrating experience that I did.
I read this poem in episode 8 of Words of Jen. (The photo above comes from StockSnap.io).

I wrote “How a Telemarketing Company Got Rid of Cheaters” in February of 2015, on a website that no longer exists. It was a website that paid writers based on a confusing mix of page-clicks and ad revenue.
At the time I wrote this piece, the website was having a gigantic problem with plagiarizers who stole other people’s work (from both outside and inside the website) and expected to be paid for it. This was my response – a gigantic “subtweet” – to the plagiarizers and the website itself.
I read “How a Telemarketing Company Got Rid of Cheaters” in episode 6 of my Words of Jen podcast.
