How it helped me, why it's important, and why I protect it. If you know me, you know I grew up in a super conservative family where emotionally immature parents raised me in a religious setting. From an early age, I developed a fucked-up worldview, and my identity became seriously screwed up. It’s taken many years to start to even

Fake it 'till you make it, has been a phrase I've heard repeated all my life. When I was writing this missive, I went to look for its origin, and the wikipedia entry for the phrase is disappointing. It may have come from remixing the words of a song, maybe. Regardless of its origin, it was a truth that seemed

How do you even do the blog thing these days? I've finally taken the time to organize all the different places I am online into something that (hopefully) makes a lot more sense and makes it easier to navigate and discover my stuff online (discovery is what peeps are calling this in 2025, yea?). Here's where everything is and what

A book that promises revelations of how truth was rejected in American society, that focuses on appearing neutral more than providing objective solutions. I jumped into Steven Brill’s The Death of Truth with excitement, but found myself largely underwhelmed and disappointed. As someone who has been following the issues of misinformation, media polarization, and political upheaval since 2020, the book

Ultimately, a country of hundreds of millions is going to be dragged into a future decided by a few tens of thousands. Maybe even a smaller margin. Xenophobia, Racism, Transphobia, and depersonalizing women are all foisted up as well by

Ultimately, a country of hundreds of millions is going to be dragged into a future decided by a few tens of thousands. Maybe even a smaller margin. Xenophobia, Racism, Transphobia, and depersonalizing women are all foisted up as well by one party. Turns out many people feel those feelings every day, and didn't like the status quo of society making

At the turn of August into September, I found myself in Orlando, Florida, at Megaplex. It was both my first time at Megaplex and my first time in Florida, and I have some thoughts on both. We flew out and arrived on Thursday night. To start, landing into Orlando International Airport (MCO): time for an airport review! The terminal structure

I love twilight and evening, the slight chill of the air and the almost primal sense of danger and power that comes with the soon-approaching darkness. A nice twilight can feed a bit of adrenaline to finish setting up a tent, stoking a fire, or finishing the last bit of trail to get out of the woods. It’s a deeply

After a long process of planning and applications, I officially moved to the United States back in June! The final bits of the process came together much faster than I expected, and I ended up getting my status and moving all within a month. With so little preparation and a move at the beginning of summer, the logistics became rather

I’m not sure if I’ve had COVID, but I strongly suspect I got it around late-April/early-May in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. I ended up sick for a couple of weeks when testing wasn’t available and then recovered.

I’m not sure if I’ve had COVID, but I strongly suspect I got it around late-April/early-May in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. I ended up sick for a couple of weeks when testing wasn’t available and then recovered. Ever since then, I’ve had less energy than before. It’s affected my life in a major way and made it

This may be in the realm of “old hybrid yells at cloud,” but it’s something that I felt more strongly after having to deal with a bunch of different messaging clients over the last few weeks. Using Slack, Telegram, Discord and Microsoft Teams reminded me that a lot of the frustration I was feeling, I didn’t experience back in the
