Please Harass Me (If This is What Harassment Looks Like)

I'm less certain the new-ish protocol is more respectful but it is definitely more careful and maybe that's enough. I've never really understood the catcalling type of guy but I'm not Italian.

I Believe... [Adopting the Sexual Habits of Your Pets]

...that ‘sex positive’ is just another way of excusing your neighbor’s chihuahua when he humps your leg incessantly.

Made a Target run on Saturday with my pre-schooler blasting Lizzo on Spotify during the drive. I’m a great mom.

Fifty-Seven Years and Still On My Feet

If you nearly drown wading in the ocean, is it better to learn to simply avoid the ocean in the future or learn to swim?

Police Commemorate Black History Month by Turning Off Body Cams

It shows we care about black people and their black feelings.

I Believe... [Pol Pot Wasn't a Nazi]

...that the claim that the five black officers charged with murdering another black man are agents of white supremacy is just goofy. As bad as Hitler was, you can’t pin the The Khmer Rouge on him.

Is Hashtag Activism a Failure?

These hashtag campaigns have absolutely created international awareness of the issues at hand but seem to have backfired in the implementation of change.

Since police are going to keep brutally and unnecessarily killing black men, it’s refreshing to see it done by black cops, too. It reveals more of the truth that American policing itself is the problem, not just your standard white cops hate black people cliche.

The Price of a Gun

What sets the Baldwin case apart is that not only he, the shooter, is being charged but both his armorer and the guy who handed him the gun are being held to pay

The Select Subcommittee Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government

The committee will be led by Rep. Jim Jordan from Ohio who knows a thing or two about suppressing voices.

The Bizarre Inflation of Crises Via Platform

Respectively, each of these horrors of the modern world can be found on: CNN, MSNBC, FOX, Faceborg, Twitter, TikTok, and a coupla podcasts. Each platform seems to prioritize a different threat to us all but none of them are what I’d call big issues.

I Believe... [Did You Really Live Your Experience?]

I believe... that the difference between experience and lived experience is the shift from that which all people have to branding for perceived authority.

Setting up a new computer has a way of opening your eyes to new ways of thinking. Or, or… and hear me out… you can just put the same settings in place and keep on trucking the way you have been.

I Like to Watch | TÁR

The discovery of my years is that when you refuse to take sides in a dispute that has little to do with you, you present a litmus test for those with perceived skin in the game unintended.

Not sure how I officially change from Dem to Republican other than to disable spelcheck.

The Critic's Choice

It is a fool’s game to attempt to interpret the work—any work— of an artist. Because there is no interpretation. Nothing to be interpreted. The intended meaning is just that—an absolute. The thing you see or hear before you is what the creator intended it to be. Even if that intention was to be ambiguous.

I Believe... ['Spare' Me]

I believe... that Prince Harry is merely an avatar for an entire cohort clamoring to declare “See? I’m a victim, too! Look over here! I’m truly traumatized! Follow me on my platforms.”

Jesus… the week of Elvis Presley’s birthday and his daughter, Lisa Marie, dies. The Universe doesn’t care about us, but sometimes, it feels that it does. And it feels like it’s a wry practical joker.
