I Like to Watch | Oscars 95
What was different this time was I didn’t really care who won. For there to be a winner, there likewise must then be losers. Otherwise the prize has no meaning or value.

I Believe... [Legitimate Political Discourse, My Ass]
...that justifying disruptive protests, riots, and looting as ‘legitimate political discourse’ cuts both ways and is horseshit regardless of which side claims it.

If Non-Binary is the Goal, Why Fight So Hard for Binary Labels?

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of February 24, 2019
Personalities can be awful when there’s more than one in a room.
Anxiety is the thing that’s ripped our country apart. It has divided us, caused us to fear and hate those who think and live differently than us, and even caused us to hate those who only slightly disagree with us. It has led to panic and overreaction. And I worry that American Anxiety is only going to exacerbate the social and political divide in this country to the point that there is no coming back.
