July 28th, 2025 I finished my summer Ethics course this week, and to wrap it up we had to film a short video about what we learned. I feel so strongly about taking this class that I wanted to share it with you, too. Feel free to respectfully debate me anytime. “I had a fantasticContinue reading “Leaving Me Here On My Own”

Shadows on the Wall
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”
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”
America’s Shadow
June 11th, 2025 Let’s talk about immigration real quick. “Real quick” because I know how short your attention span is and I’ve been thinking about this so much lately that I can probably share in a few words. We can chat about the complex reasons citizens of a country feel the way they do aboutContinue reading “America’s Shadow”
Comments on the Comment Section
June 9th, 2025 The internet has done a really good job of making us feel really bad about the state of society and I’m going to try to simplify why while offering, I hope, a little sip of hope. There is one undeniable fact about any comment section on any social media page: It lowersContinue reading “Comments on the Comment Section”
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”
We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment
April 19th, 2025 My book Theia is a proud part of a long lineage of literature that uses animals to speak truth about ourselves. Two of its biggest influences are two of my favorite books: Watership Down and Animal Farm. Due to the current state of our nation, I recently bought myself a new copyContinue reading “We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment”
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”
Know Way
March 17th, 2025 How much do you think you know? And have you ever considered our individual knowledge (or lack thereof) as a significant reason for the tension and division in this country? I was savoring a wonderful article by Laura Kennedy a few weeks ago; it was a list of advice to the readerContinue reading “Know Way”
Men With(out) Fear
March 5th, 2025 I am (clearly) a massive fan of Daredevil; this photo was taken on one of my best friend’s wedding day. (No, he did not allow me to stand before the congregation like this, a missed opportunity in my opinion.) The new season just started on Disney+ and it is not only fuckingContinue reading “Men With(out) Fear”
