Accountability: It Should be a Thing:
Journalists & Media

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on January 9, 2021 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 10, 2023

  Accountability must be returned to our institutions, leaders, and citizenry. Without accountability, we end up where we are right now. Mass death, injustice, economic devastation, pervasive corruption, sedition, insurrection, treason, and, if it continues, the fall of our Republic. Accountability, then, should be a thing. Journalists. Police Officers. State representatives. Military. Mayors. Governors. Congress-members. Government Staffers. Cabinet Members. Vice Presidents and Presidents. For this post, I am focused on journalists and media. Please, Media, it’s time to STOP candy-coating. Time to show reality. SHOW images of COVID   realities. SHOW THE FUCKING BODY BAGS, SHOW THE FRIDGE TRUCKS with the … Continue reading →

The Quest for a Comfortable Chair

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 11, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 11, 2017

I fear I must be a special needs child…er…adult… After my military injuries, I was told I’d never walk again. I went from a wheelchair to a scooter, to forearm crutches. Now, I’m walking just fine…except when I’m not. It took years to get myself back on my feet. Now, I have certain limitations that I have always tried to address with clever ergonomic solutions–physical, and otherwise. Ergonomics is not just about efficiency, it’s about comfort. While I always streamline and arrange my workspace to address ease of use, I also must be comfortable, physically. Problem is, my spine doesn’t … Continue reading →

Projects, Pitfalls, Promise

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on July 31, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 11, 2020

Shame on me. I haven’t posted a blog in a long time. SO much going on with us lately. Dealing with sudden health issues happening all at once, burned out, exhausted, feeling ill all the time, I was certainly not inspired to write. So I decided to take a 6-month sabbatical. It turned into 8 months when I found out in the middle of it I needed major surgery. So, I had to face my #2 biggest fear, (surgery) and I’ve been recovering from a full abdominal hysterectomy, and after almost 8 weeks, I’m still having some issues, which I … Continue reading →

Drive-by Marketing? Really?

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 17, 2016 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 5, 2017

A commenter on one of the sites I market to, objected to my promotions, (and I responded as forthrightly as I could)>. COMMENTER: I am seeing “Attachment Unavailable This attachment may have been removed or the perso who shared it may not have permission to share it with you” on both is post and the immediately preceeding two previous by Kelli Jae Baeil. Thefirst post by Kelli Jae Baeil, smells like drive-by marketing. -Three- posts following that promo post, each of which consists entirely of “Attachment Unavailable” makes it look even more like drive-by exploitation. I wrote the rant below … Continue reading →

Muse Recovery & Descriptive Prose

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 27, 2013 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 26, 2015

{dusting off the blog}. It’s been a while since my last entry. I was busy with moving back from New Zealand to Denver area, to prepare a life for me and my Sweetie, and we have of course been missing each other desperately, and spending lots of time online Skyping and Typing. And I had to get settled for a while, so I can work out the other plans on the horizon. I am currently residing in an extended stay suite and will probably be here for a while, so i have been trying to climb back on the writing-horse … Continue reading →

Along Came a Spider

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 16, 2013 by Kelli Jae BaeliMay 3, 2018

It’s not like I didn’t expect to hear from the usual suspects in regard to my 6-volume book, God on a Stick (An exhaustive investigation into Christianity and why I decided it made no damn sense) formerly titled, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology But even now, I can be surprised by the variations of hubris and ignorance, even among those who claim no religion. My Facebook friend, Jackie LeMerand, posted on her wall that she had just purchased my book, and then, shall we say, Along Came a Spider.   Jackie LaMerand Yesterday at 9:13am · Kelli‘s … Continue reading →

Occupational Hazard

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 18, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

This one time (not at band camp) I was reaching for my coffee atop my warming plate, and it seems that the usual spillage had created some odd but effective glue, and when i tried to pick it up with my usual amount of confidence, i succeeded in dousing my face and chest with hot coffee. I’m a writer. Occupational hazards get recorded. yeah let’s have another blog about your freaking love affair with coffee…

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"You can bail water 24/7, and no matter how good you are at not sinking, you still have a hole in your boat."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition, Christianity, one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.
