Pro Choice, Bill Gates & Herd Immunity

An op-ed came out from some doctors that was published in USA Today supporting compulsory vaccination for Covid and the gestapo like use of immunity papers. I was beyond triggered the first time I saw this opinion piece. It’s a… Continue Reading →

Trump vs The Virus

This meme came across my feed the other day. It reminds me of the Cake or Death sketch that Eddie Izzard does. I found myself in an interesting position. Knowing the person who posted it, I guessed (although they never… Continue Reading →

Insensitivity, Caring, Injury & Murder

Lockdown started here in California in mid-march and for the entire time, where I live, in San Francisco, has been under strict guidelines. When most of the rest of California opened up for a minute into phase 2, we barely… Continue Reading →

Common Ground: No Secret Police

Pro Secret Police? To anyone secretly celebrating the anarchists in Portland being disappeared by police allegedly not wearing a means of easily identifying themselves: I don’t want secret police even with the citizens whom I think have well past ‘peaceful’… Continue Reading →

Confusion, Authority, The Unknown & Equanimity

In response to my friend posting an opinion piece about how Sweden is not doing well, I posted the graph of the world numbers and Sweden’s numbers. My friend responded that it’s all confusing. Perhaps it’s a reframe, or maybe… Continue Reading →

Embarrassment, Disidentification, Science & Social Coercion

Another day, another exchange on social media. I’m embarrassed to live in a country where people refuse to wear a mask 😷 Seat belts save lives – it doesn’t take super intelligence to understand that. Why is it so hard… Continue Reading →

Female Action Heroes & the Uncanny Valley

The other night, watching one of these feminist infused action shows with yet another tiny female adept at taking down a room full of men twice her size, inspired this social media status: The proliferation of these female-driven over-the-top action… Continue Reading →

Feelings Trump Reason
