Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

"I Peacefully Release Whatever Doesn't Serve Me."
In a world full of hate and division, here is a tiny reminder that the load of the loathe ain’t worth it. We saw a public execution of a man that spews separation die by the very words he lived by. It’s sad and a shame no matter which way you spin it. Holding on to hatred does not serve anyone’s higher purpose. There’s no way to ascend while wearing the concrete slippers of ill intent.

Why I Celebrate Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead, also known as Dias de los Muertos, honors our loved ones who have passed on. As a lover of all things Halloween, October 31st has always been my favorite holiday. Yet beyond the tricks and treats, costumes, witchy, ghoul, and goblin vibes, ghosts of another sort took on greater meaning in my life in 2023. Now each year a celebration of one day becomes three, extending to November 2nd honoring lost family members, specifically my aunty Sue.

Where Am I After Nearly Six Months With A Lethal Cancer
You're Going To Die, Mr. Morton. I'm very sorry. -My doctor It's been nearly six months of living in my new reality. Since then, every day has become part of an unexpected journey. When I look backward, I remember joking about 2024. I told the closest person to me that I just wanted to get through the holidays without anyone dying. Unfortunately, I forgot one other day that stands out.

NO BOUNDARIES, NO CLUE

THE SURVEILLANCE YOU INVITED INTO YOUR BEDROOM 🎤 The average American home now contains approximately twenty-two connected devices including smart speakers, smart televisions, smart thermostats, smart doorbells, smart refrigerators, robot vacuums, and dozens of other internet-connected products that collectively monitor, record, and transmit data about virtually every aspect of your daily life including your conversations, your movements within your home, your viewing habits, your sleeping patterns, your eating habits, your comings and goings, the identities of your visitors, the content of your private discussions, and the intimate moments that you assume are occurring in the privacy of your own home but that are actually occurring in the presence of microphones and cameras and sensors that are continuously collecting data and transmitting it to corporations whose data practices you agreed to when you clicked accept on a terms of service agreement that was deliberately designed to be too long and too complex for any normal human to actually read 🔊📡

The Ozempic Generation
THE DRUG THAT CHANGED AMERICA'S BODY 💉 Semaglutide sold under brand names including Ozempic and Wegovy has become the most culturally significant pharmaceutical product since Viagra, transforming not just individual bodies but the entire American conversation about weight, willpower, body image, and the medicalization of conditions that were previously considered personal responsibility, and the drug which was originally developed for type 2 diabetes management but which produces dramatic weight loss of fifteen to twenty percent of body weight on average has generated a cultural phenomenon where celebrities, influencers, and ordinary Americans are losing weight at rates that diet and exercise alone have never reliably produced, and the resulting transformation of American bodies and American attitudes toward weight management raises profound questions about what it means to solve a health problem through medication, whether the solution creates new problems, and who benefits and who is harmed by a pharmaceutical revolution that is reshaping American culture as dramatically as any social movement 📱🇺🇸
