Damn. It’s been a minute. Nope a month. And some change. Didn’t mean to go that long between writing posts. Sure, I was dealing with some pretty heavy stuff, but that doesn’t matter. If you’re not producing, you’re a loser. That’s the American way. It’s not a wrong way to…

When you tell every kid they’re special, give them a participation trophy, and provide instant access to immeasurable information with unlimited shots of endorphins — people tend to develop quite the complex. Myself included. I am evolved and smart. I have found thirty-eight articles and seventeen studies to showcase why…

Yesterday my social media newsfeeds were covered with corporations and businesses putting up graphics and statements about women and how much they are valued. Yet, here we are, a day after International Women’s Day, and nothing has changed for women in this country. …

Writers write. That’s all there is to it. Fingers pounding away on the keys. A pen gracefully transforming a blank page into words. There’s no secret. No shortcuts.

I don’t think capitalism is the worst idea humanity has ever had. It can work, but maybe humans are just too greedy for it to be successful. At least here in America. Capitalism isn’t even what I’d call our economy currently in America. Maybe at some point it was, but…

On Tuesday, Congress undid something that made no sense. The Sunshine Protection Act will stop Americans from resetting their clocks twice per year starting in 2023. No more Daylight Savings Time. More sunlight. Less seasonal depression. I’d call that a win. Ukraine President Zelenskyy Begs Congress for Help; President Biden Throws Money at the Problem Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met via video chat with…
