In 2016, I graduated from Illinois State University with a Master's degree, a job offer, and a marriage. Sounds pretty good, right? I though so, too, until I realized I didn't know what my next "thing" was meant to be after the doors of academia closed.Enter (ryan)vention: I am a writer, a blogger, a reader, maybe a cat?, Yankee Candle enthusiast, cheese frequentist, and pizza opportunist on a constant search for my next macguffin. I also maybe sometimes make up words like "frequentist" because ~artistic license~.
What will you find here? So glad you asked!
- Book reviews. Or, in true narcissist fashion, book (ry)views
- A blog series about coming out and living "out loud" called Boys Will Be Boys
- My many adventures with Yankee Candle
- Humor. Because if you don't laugh you may as well cry
- Occassional musings on social issues #NotPolitical
- In general, strangeness
- And a call to action for more laughter, thoughtfulness and be kindness.

It's not reinvention. It's not intervention. It's (ryan)vention.
