In all honesty, the idea of a social construct only model for our society isn’t a new idea. I was delving into the “two spirit” terminology, and came across the term Muxes. The idea is that in part of the Zapotec culture, there is a third gender know as a Muxe, or Muxes. These are […]

Thought of the Day – 3/24/2022

The world is a crazy, brutal, unfair place. We’ve for the most part, been protected from it. The more we struggle against this reality, the more discontent we will be. I think that this country is at a tipping point. So much of our culture has been changed by people seeking wealth and power and […]

Thought of the Day – 3/22/22

Nothing is without consequence. Everything we do, say, post, and express comes with repercussions and fallout.

The exterior is dilapidated and the interior is dust ridden. And yet we live in this squalor, refusing to […]

Let’s talk about values…

Featured image from the Pittsburg Post Gazette. Follow the link if you’d like. I want to take a moment to talk about values. It seems that we have no collective values in this country anymore. There seems to be nothing that connects the two sides of the political aisle, and this in turn escalates the […]

The Dark Side of Utopia

Featured image by Chris Hobcroft. Follow the link for more of this artist’s work. Utopia is a fleeting thing. We want for a world in which everything is available in abundance with no work.
