This is water, too
So, what do you do to temporarily forget your flimsy, bootlegged residence on a planet, the comparison to which (the planet I mean) you, or more generally: y'all, draw yourselves to strategize your own insignificance, the spiritual version of cuddling after sex. I think I had a breakdown, sorry. What I meant to ask was … Continue reading This is water, too
Crossing the line
You know that quip about how whatever you think normal now was thought crazy once? And vice versa. Planes. Marriage. Democracy. Consent. Vegans. And pretty much all the guys after whom religions were fashioned. Our divisions were fastened in Good and Evil. When philosophers entered the arena, they tried really hard to drive us insane … Continue reading Crossing the line
313
I have 312 ways to be mortified. 313 if you include this one. Everything I know tells me the appropriate reaction to the past--the 312 essays on the blog--must be shame, a rather distinct form of it known as Cringe.

Growing up in … Continue reading Marry me, Sylvia
I see you
There will come a time when you'll call for help. "Helllllpppppp!!" No, not like that. More like, "I am thinking of starting a Podcast." And there will be a time when you will be called upon. "Helllllpppppp me, thee with the tiny prick!!" No, no. More like, "I eat alone because I am an introvert." … Continue reading I see you
Singing
I am not motivated to write today. Every sentence is a chore. Drag. Draaag. And yet, Sunday after Sunday, motivation or not, "welcome to the show. I am so happy to be doing this. Oh, what a great life!" That is what it must feel like to be wealthy. Here's one gag you will hear … Continue reading Singing
