July 22nd, 2025 I’m almost done with my summer Ethics class and I am intolerable. Allow me to annoy you with my pointed criticism of cultural biases (it’s like all I do these days). I’ve written several essays over the years about philosophy. I once talked about how all of it was pointless up toContinue reading “Shadows on the Wall”

Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025
July 12th, 2025 So: the Book Fair For Grown-Ups by Inbound Brewing Co. happened today at the State Fair Education Building after going viral last year at their brewery.

The Mole on My Neck
July 8th, 2025 Last weekend, I was playing video games with a little kid (a little kid I know, not some random little kid) and between Mario Kart races he pointed at me and said, “You have a mole on your neck.” At first I thought he was being a dick. Like little kids canContinue reading “The Mole on My Neck”
Darkroom
May 31st, 2025 I’ve been wondering why life has felt so chaotic and fast lately and then realized I wasn’t writing much of it down. Not here. I haven’t been processing correctly. Instead of developing my memories and experiences in a quiet darkroom, investigating their details and exploring their mysteries as they slowly materialize, I’veContinue reading “Darkroom”
This Is 40
May 1st, 2025 It’s my birthday today. I love my birthday. I’m awful like that. I also believe that you should cherish celebrating each one, because there will come a point in time when you cannot. That’s dark, but it’s my birthday. So let’s face facts: I’m supposed to be dead. I did all theContinue reading “This Is 40”
Real Talk: Autism
April 16th, 2025 There is a lot going on in the world, and it’s difficult for me to pick up a single thread and follow it through in a meaningful way, especially when the people in charge insist on tangling every wire we own. I’m not about to start targeting every person on my feedContinue reading “Real Talk: Autism”
Four Years / Natural
October 16th, 2024 If you feel a little lonely, you’re not alone in that, and it’s natural to feel. My mom made sure I knew that. She’s been gone four years today. My dad got married last weekend. It was a beautiful day. I was the minister of their wedding. I got a lot ofContinue reading “Four Years / Natural”
Take a look, it’s in a book
October 14th, 2024 “Are you a reader?” I asked her. I always ask when people approach my table now. “Yes?” the woman said, her face distorted. I asked why it sounded like there was a question mark at the end of her answer. She said she was startled by the question. Doesn’t everyone like toContinue reading “Take a look, it’s in a book”

telescope
September 16th, 2024 Some days you look into a telescope and all you can see is the immense, infinite universe, nebula swirling like frosting and stars sparkling like sprinkles; other days all you can focus on is a black hole, consuming its corner of the cosmos. There are typical anniversaries when it comes to lossContinue reading “telescope”
