Time and the news move fast these days and it seems this particular moment has flown by. Nobody is talking about this anymore, though it was ALL anyone was talking about less than a week ago. Though I try to be timely in my topics here, I am publishing this anyway because the message is …

Is Death a Relief?
WARNING: in case the title of this post wasn't telling enough, I am going to be writing about death and dying in this post. If you aren't in a place to engage with this topic right now, I will not feel bad at all if you table it for another time, or just skip it …
Lack of Tech Regulation Will Hurt American Economic Standing Soon
I'm a bit of a privacy nut; I'll admit it. I regularly make trade-offs and choose not to use a product or service, forgoing the "convenience" it might offer me because I have read and do not agree with the privacy policy. Such as with most tech companies in the US, because we have failed …

Deprivation or Freedom?
Something I do to relax and reset my mind and body every so often is to visit my local float center. There are a few of these places in my city, but I have really only been to this one, and we've developed a relationship. I tried it once and I didn't have a good …
The Tide Keeps Moving
I've had a number of conversations lately about movement, progress, stagnation and time. I think after two years of pandemic, which caused an absolute shake-up to all our status quo, go-go routines, people finally seem ready to figure out what the "new normal" is going to be. The problem is, many of us and our …

While this leaked document is …

What is “Good Enough?”
Starting when I was a young child, I enjoyed learning, soaking up information like a sponge, as young children are supposed to do. This thirst for knowledge didn't really stop when I got to school either. I was usually interested in what my teachers had to offer and treated them with great respect, taking for …
Winners and Losers
Last week was a rough one. Russia's attempt at the wholesale destruction of their neighbor Ukraine is one of many ongoing conflicts. On the (American) domestic front, we had the Senate Judiciary hearings for the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, who WILL BE confirmed as the first Black female Supreme Court Justice next month. With …
Being Undiagnosed Autistic can Lead to Learning Who You Truly Are Much Later in Life
I have a theory that we are all essentially living the same life. We are born into circumstances that we do not choose. We are raised, more or less, by our families who do the best they can. We learn in and out of school what is expected of us in society, based on other …
What We Lose as Time Passes
We decided to watch the film Napoleon Dynamite over the weekend. For anyone who isn't familiar, well, I won't spoil it, and I'm no professional movie critic anyway (not that they know anything special). What I will say is that this movie really makes me think about all the examples of the past, times gone …
