Human Dignity for All
With everything going on in the present political climate, it can be tricky to know where to begin. I think, for me, the most bone-chilling behavior I see currently is what strikes me as most urgent to address, so I will start there and then we can delve into other…

A Moment for Globalization
Okay. I might tell a story. Everything that’s going on with tariffs and the completely unnecessary upheaval of the global economy is hitting me a bit personally, and I feel like I want to explain why. So here goes. Back in the day, I remember first learning about globalization. Not…

Ok. I want to acclimate to writing somewhere other than on a personal laptop, as it is going to die soon. Plus, I set up this site. Might as well use it. On the topic of death. Oh yes, we are just going to dive right in, head first. What…
