Weather is coming for us, are we ready?

Seventy years ago, our little town in New England was laid waste by a tremendous flood. Fifty-three years before that, in 1927, the area experienced a similar devastating flood. In response to these two events the Army Corps of Engineers designed and built flood chutes in vulnerable communities around Massachusetts. …

Hello Medium, you are hanging by a thread, stop signing me out.

With two dozen plus subscriptions and password protected accounts, a rental house to manage with six streaming TVs that must all be popped in and out of guest mode on a regular basis and the constant struggle to stay anonymous enough that I am not totally creeped out and nauseated…

Swarming And Chasing Are Two Different Things

Watching the public take in the story of Harry and Meghan’s ordeal in NYC on May 16th has been equal parts illuminating and triggering for me. As a teenager, walking to and from school, I was routinely threatened by a crowd of teenaged girls. It got so scary that I…

What’s left for Rupert?

Looks like FOX news might be headed for the media equivalent of a barrier reef in April. Every day there’s more damning information released via court filings. The anchors knew they were lying about election fraud, Murdoch knew they were lying. They had every opportunity to tell their viewers the…

On Leaving

There’s no going back, even when you’ve gone back. I know that doesn’t make sense. I’m trying to make sense of it. Maybe I knew what a mess this would be when we moved to the west coast. I was only a child but I think I knew. It seemed…

Life on the Island

Watching Midnight Mass on Netflix and considering the many different metaphors served by the vampire myth; the church as psychic vampire, hubris as a vampire, the greed for youth and vitality as the Achilles heel that opens the door to allow the vampire in, and all of the disaster that…

Election Journal

Going to put my thoughts on this election right here. A record to reference later. This is my first mid-term as an American citizen. Casting a vote for Joe Biden was my first experience with voting as a citizen. It takes around five years to become a citizen here, and…
