  • Be part of the counterculture, be kind

    If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? If I had a billboard there are many things I’d like to say. Sometimes they would be mean things, sometimes they would be stupid. Ultimately though the best message I could ever hope to spread is the courage of kindness. Be part of the revolution.…

  • The Duality of Time As We Age

    Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? When you are young you often don’t spend near as much time thinking about the future as you should. Deadlines are a long ways off; pushed back into the recesses of our minds as we enjoy the here and now. The problem…

  • How have your political views changed over time? I grew up in a conservative Christian home. Middle class, when that was a thing that could be attained. I went to a private Christian school. My childhood, while filled with immense love and support, had clear marked boundaries of morality and Christianity. In my household they…

  • I answered one of those daily prompts about something that I needed to do but hadn’t. I railed and whined about how my health was in a bit of a bad spot and that the great American way of have health insurance or go fuck yourself, was not working well for me. I knew I…

  • The ‘Greatest’ Nation

    What have you been putting off doing? Why?  I’m sitting here wiping away tears trying to find something to feel positive about for fear that my stress will make everything worse.

  • I’ve smoked cigarettes since I was 14 years old. Don’t ask me why, I just really wanted to fit in with the wrong people. God, I was such a pushover as a kid. I remember just deciding I was going to smoke with my friends. It took a week to even be able to inhale…

  • What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? I am not the same person I was growing up. Coming from an upper middle class, conservative, white, Christian, home, I was raised to believe certain things. Some things stuck, many did not. I have grown to understand that the Jesus I was raised…

  • Your life without a computer: what does it look like? First I think I’ll clarify, life where computers suddenly vanished would be chaos and we’d probably all die pretty quickly so good thing I don’t feel like spiraling into that hypothetical scenario. Honestly, I have no idea what I would do. I consider my phone…

  • That Empty Feeling

    I am a white American female. I don’t have a pedigree, I don’t have a lineage that anyone has curated and passed down to me. I have a couple depression era recipes and some heirloom pieces from the 1800’s. I feel like this is probably typical of many white Americans. Unsure of our past, vague…
