You can only come into possession of it by exploiting a broken system. Imagine you are hired as a custodian for a small school and they are going to pay you 10 dollars an hour. If you diligently work your job then you definitely earned that money right? Now what if they decide to giveContinue reading “You Cannot “Earn” 1 Billion Dollars”

“Responsibility”
Something my mom used to say was “work gets in the way of everything” and OMG is she right. It takes up SO much time, and then when you have time you’re just tired, what the heck? How could anyone think this is OK? I want to do my part to continue our species’ existenceContinue reading ““Responsibility””
Meow
I don’t really feel like writing today but I am going to try. I am a little focused on what it is to exist right now and more specifically, my own existence and my relationship with society. I know I trash talk work culture a lot and I want to clarify something, I do valueContinue reading “Meow”
Polyamory
I know many people will disagree with me here, even in the polyamory community, but I truly think that poly is the next step in the evolution of human romantic relationships. Much the same way that relationships for the sake of love were the next step from relationships for the exchange of property (with womenContinue reading “Polyamory”
Saying What I Really Feel is Hard
Today, I just don’t feel like feeling. I think I’m tired of people, I think I’m tired of being able to predict people’s comments to my ideas in all modes of conversation, I think I’m most tired of people not making a priority of changing. A lot of people say they prioritize growth within themselvesContinue reading “Saying What I Really Feel is Hard”
Changing Definitions is Useful
Saying that men are men and women are women is about as solid an argument as saying Pluto is a planet because Pluto was a planet; we changed the definition because the old one proved impractical. Like, I understand what people are trying to say when they say a man is a man and aContinue reading “Changing Definitions is Useful”
SNOW
Today I almost forgot to write my blog so thank you Grandma for reminding me. I forgots because I’m about to make a trek to Texas AND we got SNOWWWW for which I love. I have a few reasons that I love snow and I don’t know which is the most potent. I think theContinue reading “SNOW”
Being Broke Sucks
For so many reasons, but the ones I want to focus on today are how much it is a hinderance to prosperity and how it can be a feedback loop to the lack of opportunity. Money makes money right? What does that say about a lack of money? I’ll tell you exactly what it says,Continue reading “Being Broke Sucks”
What the Hell Are We Doing Here
As an atheist, I don’t believe there is some grand purpose ordained by a creator. To some, this seems like such a bad or sad thing to be mourned, and I understand that way of thinking when coming from a place of believing in a grand purpose to existence. I considered myself Christian for theContinue reading “What the Hell Are We Doing Here”
My Experience With Mental Health
First off, I want to say how exhausted I am from having conversations with people who don’t even want to try to understand something that they themselves don’t experience. What’s worse is when people do experience some mental health issues but think that just because they can cope with theirs that means everyone else can.Continue reading “My Experience With Mental Health”
