When everyone has access to a platform and the freedom to say whatever they want to say, curation becomes ever most vital to creating a space that serves their mental health best. While this is challenging to impose IRL, as you don’t always get to choose who you’re surrounded by—ie, blood relatives, coworkers—it’s far easier managed, and should be managed, online.

Death and taxes are inevitable. So is crushing disappointment. This is life, after all. Any exposure to any media for any of amount of time has the troublesome trait of tuning your expectations high, until you’ve lived long enough and seen enough to set them at a more reasonable level. Like zero. Without expectation you cannot be disappointed, but until you learn to appropriately curb...

Hey Perverts,
This is not your captain speaking, but I am on the mic nonetheless. I’m writing this as a means of procrastinating doing anything productive for the moment. I’m not bored, per se, I just don’t want to do anything, and social media is an energy drain. Threads is shiny and new and now very much a Twitter clone, complete with all the...

It’s been a minute since I’ve written here. I was set on writing every single fucking day and managed to write for a handful of weeks before dropping off completely. Lots has happened since then. I entered into a relationship rather abruptly, but am super happy with my partner. She knows all about my account here and has no problem with it. She even encouraged...

Valentine’s Day is approaching. A global hallmark holiday, incited by corporations to drive couples to consume. And for what? It”s a “special day” for many.
Sure it is. Some random fucking day during the year where you’re told to do something special for your special someone by the status quo. Feel guilty if you do nothing for your special someone on Valentine’s Day, they say....

Oh this is hilarious. I’m taking AI writing for a spin, using nonsensical input, and I gotta say, I’m kind of impressed. The output is really stupid, but it’s a great start.
Using the keywords “yes, no, probably, gum, chapstick, legos, nonsense, crypto, gross,” this was generated:
We encounter all sorts of nonsense in our lives – from the people we meet to the things...

Barnes & Noble is having a massive sale on their hardcovers. I had no idea until I walked in on a hunt for Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. I looked online and saw they had a beautiful illustrated hardcover edition at my local store. The website, however, lied. They did not, in fact, have it at my local store. Thankfully, there are a few stores within a

One thing I find absolutely fascinating are the myriad of theories, concepts, and ideas that explore our consciousness and existence. Science is out on what produces our awareness, and this leaves a massive gaping hole for individuals to explore where we come from, our purpose here, and where we’re going. Spirituality has such rich potential to send our awareness throughout the cosmos in search of...

I have a friend who spends a lot of time watching tv, sharing the best of what she’s found, and often giving me recommendations. I don’t generally watch a whole lot of television, so it’s nice to know what to look for when I do.
I have my favorites though. Guillermo Del Toro is one of them. I found that he was hosting a series...

Well, that was a whole week gone by without popping in. Tres bien. All good. Lots of writing. A whole lot of WTFs. And Twitter is still in the process of melting down, thanks to Overlord Musk’s War on Free Speech™️. Turns out, his idea of allowing unfettered speech on Twitter is limited only to those who worship him and/or his idols.

There was a moment where I considered reaching out to SG regarding their blogging tools. We can write, link, and quote, but we can’t manage multiple drafts and articles and post types and blah blah blah. But I changed my mind when I thought about why I’m doing this. In What’s On My Mind?, I said:
There is no theme here. There’s no agenda....
