Advent 2024
•
1 min read
Advent is about anticipation, but it’s not a celebration. To the contrary, Advent is a season declaring things are not right. Advent is a season declaring we are not okay. Advent is a cry for help. So, if you’re coming into this season hopeless and threadbare, if you’re not feeling the cheer, you’re not ‘doing…

Finally Caught

Almost 3 years in, I finally caught covid. Or maybe I should say, covid finally caught me. Interestingly enough, I found out I have a plant that has super-empath powers. I’ve had her since college. I call her my “Rest in Peace Lily” but nothing will stop her. However, she did mirror my covid week.…

More Than I Can Handle

Christians love to say God would never give us any more than we can handle. I think maybe God and I should discuss the disparity between his definition of my limit and my definition.

I do not use “microaggression” anymore
•
1 min read
I do not use “microaggression” anymore. I detest the post-racial platform that supported its sudden popularity. I detest its component parts – “micro” and “aggression.” A persistent daily low hum of racist abuse is not minor. I use the term “abuse” because aggression is not as exacting a term. Abuse accurately describes the action and…

THIS Changed My Bagel Game
•
1 min read
I love bagels. I’ll eat them with different toppings like cream cheese, lox, butter (only for onion bagels), or avocado. I got a huge container of Everything Seasoning from Costco, which helps with flavoring the bottom half of the bagel. But this video changed how I toast my bagels. So good.

When the Israelis pick up guns, or the Poles, or the Irish, or any white man in the world says “give me liberty, or give me death,†the entire white world applauds. When a black man says exactly the same thing, word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one and everything…

Block YouTube Ads with One Small Workaround

I haven’t been willing to pay for YouTube’s premium service to avoid ads yet. I’ve mostly just put up with it, although I was extremely annoyed once when I was trying to follow a workout with some friends during shelter-in-place, and the ads kept interrupting our workout every few minutes. A redditor found out you…
