In utopian stories, villains are often the most relatable… Weekly Recap 7/27/2026
An interesting thing happens when stories are told about more “evolved” humans: if you tell them for long enough, they get boring. The characters can be too good. The audience—people with flaws—loses the ability to relate. It’s easy to idealize for a moment or two, but there are only so many different ways you can…

Do piles of books count? Weekly Recap 7/20/2026
Do piles of books count as an asthetic? What about the idea that every flat, horizontal surface has the potential to be an altar? Selene and I ran out of bookshelf space years ago.

A little struggle is good… Weekly Recap 7/6/2026
I once heard someone say: “A little struggle is good.” When you work for something, you value it more. You learn. You become better. Easy come, easy go, right? By that same token, a little chaos is a positive thing. Perfectly ordered systems tend to get boring. Of course… chaos could actually just be order…

Why neglect the gut? Weekly Recap 6/29/2026
Why is it so hard to go with our gut? I’ll tell you why—or at least, my opinion. Society conditions us out of it. Starting in early childhood, school teaches us to focus on facts, not feelings. Intuition itself is generally disregarded. Also, the most basic levels of science prioritize empirical evidence, programming us to…

Tomatoes, man… Weekly Recap 6/22/2026
For the longest time, I hated tomatoes. I mean, I absolutely detested them. If I ever saw any little red bits swimming around my food, I would pick them out or push them off to the side. Until one day, perhaps in my 20’s, I accidentally bit into one. I thought, “hmm… maybe I don’t…

Questioning reality is healthy… Weekly Recap 5/25/2026
If you don’t make a frequent habit of questioning your own reality, then honestly… what are you doing with yourself? Dreams, visions, meditations, spiritual reflections… these can all shake up our perception or even blur the lines of what’s real, but I think the most poignant moments for me center around deja vu. And I…
