My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.
Not Everything Is Simple. (Except Me—I’m Perfect.)

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.
What a legend.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.
Much of the debate surrounding America’s sovereign wealth fund has focused on operational matters, such as what will be in the fund or who will run it. But there’s a more fundamental question that hasn’t been addressed: When does it make sense for a monetary sovereign to have a sovereign wealth fund?
My latest article analyzes the topic and explores how a properly structured American SWF might be able to benefit the country.

When I say it can save the world, I mean that literally, because the current approach, called neoliberal economics, assumes unlimited growth and consuming unlimited resources. But the earth's resources are finite - and we are paying the price for not realising that.
Anyway, my point is this: when I opened my computer this morning I wrote down the following …
