Why HOW ARE YOU Is No Longer a Passive Greeting Anymore
There’s one thing that has really stood out to me since the COVID-19 pandemic has started: how a passing, generic greeting has taken on a whole new meaning. Maybe this new way of asking and answering HOW ARE YOU is something we take to the other side!
When the Universe Nudges Us…
Does the universe really put us in the right place at the right time? Is the Law of Attraction real? I met a couple that might prove it’s true.
Fuck thoughts and prayers. I’m angry.
Fuck all the thoughts and prayers being thrown up in the wake of the worst mass shooting in American history. I’m angry. I’m angry that after twenty children between the ages of 6 and 7 years old were murdered in an elementary school, we as a nation said “never again.” Yet we’ve let this sort of thing happen hundreds of times since.

Oh. I thought it was over. The basics are back to doing that again, huh? The ‘ol “ohmigod Facebook is changing something I don’t understand so let’s copy and paste some legal jargon into a status to fix that!” thing is back again. Oy. We ALL have a Facebook friend gullible enough to fall for that. Or, if you’re like me, not many anymore because you instantly unfriend them after they hit POST on it. Posting that in a status is the same thing as looking at your other half and yelling “I divorce thee!” three times, hoping that will magically end everything and save you from coughing up half of…
