The emotional and the physical of these moments — The general context Just to get this one out of the way up top: not sure I’m “infertile,” but I have limited avenues of fertility, and it’s largely because I didn’t take care of myself very well in my 30s. Might still happen naturally, might not, and other avenues might be pursued, be…

The general definition of “empathy” is the “ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” Good start. We needed to define the word off the jump. Now let’s get a bit deeper.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Karla Homolka story, she’s one of the “Ken and Barbie” killers associated with the rape and murder of three young women in Canada in the early 1990s. So, you’d assume she’s probably in prison still, right? Especially if you knew one of the women involved…

COVID began the whole deal — I wrote about COVID and friendships and COVID and mental health in the past — but then there’s social unrest, racial discord, and hot takes galore swimming around.

When you drive through a neighborhood and see a bunch of these signs, what do you think about said neighborhood? To hear my biggest detractors talk about me — and there are many, for sure — I’m super pessimistic and engaged in a no-one-cares “war on woke.” Now, it is…
