Racism Is Thriving Everywhere

Systemic racism exists. On purpose. (And by accident, circumstance, history, and geopolitical realities.) Much of the way the world works was deliberately designed. And some of those who’ve benefitted the most, whose grandfathers were at the wheel of oppression or the handle of the whip, love denying their privilege. They…

We’re All Going to Die

Most of us several decades from now, but it’s still true — My bed looks like a sunken oatmeal raisin cookie. The mattress and box spring rest on the carpet. According to the memes, I don’t have to worry about Joe Biden’s new tax plan. Maybe that’s why I woke up several times last night and thought, “Oh damn. …

It Was Close

It was close. Maybe I’m supposed to celebrate. Be happy. Be thrilled even that a bloviating billionaire, callous narcissist, reflexively dishonest idiot will begin his slow rancorous descent from the presidency. I’m glad he lost. But I’m not happy. We put our hands on a gun loaded with bullets of…

It’s the End of the World as We Know It

The Jewish Talmud says that every single blade of grass in the world has an angel above it, whispering, “Grow. Grow. Grow.” An Islamic Hadith tells how the Prophet said, “Even on the Day of Judgment, if you’re carrying a seed, plant it.” In Batman & Robin, George Clooney’s Batman…

Your Life Is a Lie — Puns Are Terrible

ATTN: Anyone who likes puns — If puns were music, they’d be the macarena. If puns were a day, they’d be Second Monday. If they were food, they’d look like candy and taste like prunes. If they were a leisurely weekend, they’d spring yard work on your Saturday and paint your Sunday with pointless e-mails. Puns…

The First Day

I don’t remember my first day of school. But I won’t forget my daughter’s. It’s tomorrow. I feel like I’ve been emotionally putting off all the things I should be feeling. I’m still feeling them. I’m just not swimming in them. I’m welcoming distractions and filling the weekends with unreflective…

All the Reasons We Have Mass Shootings

It can’t be video games. Or else in Mario’s heyday, I missed the epidemic of people eating wild mushrooms in attempts to double in size. It can’t be mental illness. You call people who ignore facts and are losing touch with reality in a dogmatic and unshakeable insistence on what…

Another Meandering Personal Account of Multiple Failed Suicides

There’s got to be a ton of people out there who’ve been murdered that didn’t want it. I’d venture to say maybe half of the victims would’ve wanted more time. Well, I wish I could trade places with them. Any of them. I’d even take some rape or torture on…
