About Ashley Reese
Bad Brain is a weekly newsletter/blog/whatever you want to call it from me, Ashley Reese. I’m a writer, a widow, and a chronic poster who gets a sick thrill out of sharing my notes on life, death, pop culture, and the internet with complete strangers. You can expect anything from ruminations about grief to smutty fanfiction to the soundtrack of the second season of Skins. Everything goes, authentically and without apology.
I first started writing for the internet via Livejournal in 2004, and then my Tumblr account in 2011 (and there was a lot of fanfiction in between).
But I started my professional writing career as a permalancer at Gurl and ran a weekly column called Accidental Virgin for The Gloss.
