Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

15 Years of Chicana on the Edge!
written by Regina Rodríguez-Martin
June 17, 2019
I didn’t have children, build an empire, or become famous, but today my blog is 15 years old! This is my big life accomplishment so far, and this might be it. I’ve lived a small life…

Fun facts about my blog:


1. It started out quite pretentious. Here’s the pretentious beginning. Okay, it’s still pretty pretentious.


2. The very first person to post on my blog, Dwight, is now dead.


3. At the beginning I used an external commenting platform where people posted all kinds of fun responses, but they were all lost when I stopped using it and that platform went under. That’s why for the first several years of my blog, it looks like no one ever commented, but I swear they did!


4. Possibly the worst title of a blog post was “Suck it, Jesus.”


5. Well, this is boring. I’ll just link some of my favorite posts from these first 15 years, in order of their publication. Yes, my first 15 years. I might just keep this thing going until I’m dead and animals eat me.
