October 7th, 2020 I’ve seen countless posts, mostly from well-meaning parents, about technology and how it’s taking away our artists. How our children are being deprived of creativity by cell phones and video games and computers. I, respectfully, disagree. But (also respectfully!) I feel like I have the pedigree and point of view to explainContinue reading “Artists Gotta Art”

Live & Let Live
October 3rd, 2020 Superheroes have taught me a lot of lessons, but I learned one as a kid that I never forgot, and it feels especially relevant now. At the end of any Spider-Man or Batman cartoon or comic book, I always found myself with an uneasy feeling. I didn’t like how they let theContinue reading “Live & Let Live”
Counterspell
October 1st, 2020 This isn’t a political post. Honest. It starts from a moment during the debate, but it’s deeply personal and I think it’s worth saying. Last night, Trump attacked Hunter Biden’s problems with addiction. Joe spoke up and said he was proud of his son for dealing with those issues. Unfortunately, Trump’s commentsContinue reading “Counterspell”
The Breakup Breakdown
September 25th, 2020 Someone at my new work asked me tonight if I missed my old work. I have been avoiding this question since March. It’s been asked in abundance and in different keys. And my response is usually an acute tweet that confirms I am fine and it was just a job. But itContinue reading “The Breakup Breakdown”
Around The Fire
September 19th, 2020 Do you ever have a moment when you forget that you’re you? When you do or say something that is completely uncharacteristic of who you are now, but then remember that it used to be a part of who you were? I do. I’ll say something negative. Or I’ll react in anger.Continue reading “Around The Fire”

Worthy
September 15th, 2020 Aggressively strong people change the world with force, fashion and rarely any grace. Saints, conversely, change it with seeds. They plant them using compassion, empathy and quiet courage. When a true saint meets any person — big or small, great or meek, no matter the past, in spite of appearance — theyContinue reading “Worthy”
Lovefool
September 14th, 2020 Our universe is full of systems that help us in the suffering of being human, and only a fool would discount a single one. I’ve mentioned before a series of lectures I’ve been reading, and it’ll be the basis for a lot of the stuff I’ll be writing about. It’s called TheContinue reading “Lovefool”
The Social Dilemma
September 12th, 2020 Shall we unironically discuss The Social Dilemma on social media? We shall! Let’s get this out of the way: if you’re a human and use any social media platform, this is essential viewing. It’s only 90 minutes long, and it contains information that should be shared with every human for the sakeContinue reading “The Social Dilemma”
It’s Evolving!
September 7th, 2020 If you want to hear something hopeful about humanity, I want you to take a little trip with me. I’m reading a book of lectures from 1902, and in a lecture I read tonight, it was explained to me that it took people a long time to get from “Someone should doContinue reading “It’s Evolving!”
