So, I asked myself "When did I become a Nazi?"

I Believe... [The Mobius Strip of Trauma]

...that your trauma doesn’t make a good excuse for your poor behavior. No trauma in existence requires you behave like a screaming child yet enduring an adult screaming like a child can be traumatic. Like a Mobius strip of trauma.

Live Your Life as If It Were a Comedy

The world is ridiculous. My life is just as open to mockery. Maybe that's the trade-off. If I can find myself to be a legitimate source of comedy, I get a pass on finding everyone else as a source of hilarity.

I Like to Watch | Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

While the world may be oversaturated with too much MCU, I'm not. I am, however, thinking Waititi might need a break. He is almost the MCU Joel Schumacher.

Crisis Headlines Are Not Helping

Despite the desperate need to spin reality, perspective is essential to keep your head from exploding like that dude in Scanners. Perspective is about wondering what the headlines might look like from a different angle than your baked-in certitude of moral authority dictates.

I Believe... [No More High School Drama, PLZ]

I believe... that with the state of society in 2022, a moratorium on high school dramas is in order. I get all the bitchy, judgmental bullying I need in line at the grocery store.

Without Honors

It’d been 5 days since the assembly fuck-up. The house was like a morgue. Nobody’d talked to nobody. I worked as much overtime as they threw at me just to stay away.

I Like to Watch | Elvis (2022)

Like The Greatest Showman—a movie musical that completely reframes the huckster P.T. Barnum into an equity-chasing social justice type—this is not intended to be an accurate biopic. It is a meditation on the legend that was Elvis Presley.

A Case for Optimism (sans Rose-Colored Glasses)

Optimism is an act of resilience against the brutal harshness of living the existential crisis.

The thing is… mass gun violence just pissed off a lot of bored, rich Jewish moms… maybe this is what we’ve needed to get change made.

What You Write Tells Us Who You Are

This skinny, tattooed fucker told us what he was going to do. He wrote and posted videos telling anyone listening the plan. He isn't the outlier—most mass shooters write out their intent and display it to the world well before legally purchasing a weapon and unleashing their fury on bystanders.
