There are days when I can’t get out of bed for more than a few minutes at a time. Not figuratively, like in that, “Ugh, Mondays,” kinda way. I mean literally. Standing long enough to make coffee can feel like a risk calculation. And forget taking a shower, because fuck, it’s exhausting. My body has

I hope this finds you without a charger while traveling. I hope this finds you never being able to fully yawn. I hope this finds you with every screwdriver bit except the one you need. I hope this finds you saying, “Ok bye, love you!” to a coworker by accident. I hope this finds you

The other night, I sat down and asked my Dad a simple question. What was your father’s name? It had dawned on me that I didn’t know, or didn’t remember. My Dad’s parents split when he was little, and through a series of unfortunate events, he ended up being raised by family acquaintances who became

I’ve never been easygoing, and I don’t think I was meant to be. I’ve always questioned the status quo, pushed back on weak logic, and felt compelled to dissect the uncomfortable parts of things in order to understand them, improve them, or at least tell the truth about them. That’s followed me my whole life,

You just don’t get it, do you? Or maybe you do, and you’re being intentionally obtuse, because if you really let yourself see it all, you’d have to face what you’ve done. You’d have to admit that for all your big talk about being a “good man,” you’ve been phoning it in while she holds

You probably know someone like him. He’s got that inoffensive kind of friendly face, and a big, easy smile. He’s the first to help out a friend, and he’s always agreeable. He never raises his voice. He never seems angry. He’s the guy people describe as, “Just soooo nice.” He’s the guy one who thinks

Let’s have a little hypothetical “fun.” Let’s say a video is posted of a man sitting alone at a book signing. He’s an older, inoffensively white guy selling yet another self-published book about leadership and purpose. He’s seemingly polite, quiet, and definitely a little lost in the shuffle. Someone posts about how heartbreaking it is

If you’ve ever done any of the things on this list, spare us your International Women’s Day post. No one needs to hear you pretend to “celebrate women” when you’ve spent the other 364 days making their lives harder. You don’t get to play the ally while underpaying, undermining, dismissing, or outright disrespecting the women

I don’t wanna get all alarmist on you, but I think it’s time we channel some superhero energy here. The X-Men were never just about cool powers and big fights. They were about standing up to fear, oppression, and people who think wiping out an entire group is a valid political stance. And, uh… have

Car dealerships count on you not knowing how the game works. The markups, the “mandatory” fees, the pressure tactics; it’s all designed to get more money out of your pocket. And who can blame them? Time’s are tough, and the markup on new vehicles isn’t what it used to be. But we all wanna save
