I was shocked to find out that my friend, Trey*, was stunned to find out I’m a feminist. (I mean, bro. Have you read my writing?) So, we ended up talking about it and he was confused. “Wait, you want to work?” “Yes.” “Why?” “I wan...

I am not a snob about many things. Certainly not my wardrobe. I used to dress from K-Mart, now I pretty much just dress from what other people leave at the gym. My bling? I mostly sport Grateful Dead skull necklaces and zoo animals I fashion from Evian bottle caps. I don’t spend a lot on ar...

That may seem harsh and difficult to understand. If you know me personally, it may be hard to accept. “Not Bret, he’s always smiling.” Hating myself doesn’t mean I never smile or I can’t enjoy the world around me. I can and I do. But still, this feeling is always the...

It’s been a busy couple of weeks and yesterday was international “R U OK” day. I spent the day both in my office and outside of it and I have to say, what I saw frustrates the hell out of me. Every year, despite working intensely around mental health, I choose not to participate...

Forty minutes into the class, the temperature soared to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and my mind spewed out a stream of obscenities so obscene that they would have made my Boston brethren proud. I glanced at my wife. Serene, her breath steady, her poses flawless (though she’d argue otherwise), all ...

With the recent crash in crypto markets and the gnat-like attention span of major media outlets, the fervor around NFTs has subsided a bit in recent months. It’s hard to remember now, but earlier this spring they were all anyone could talk about. So last semester, when passions were runni...

Shit was rough for Hayao Miyazaki in the 1980s. Nobody seemed to know what to do with his more personal, more revolutionary work. Besides ruin it, that is. A lot has been written about Warriors Of The Wind, the butchered 1985 US adaptation of Nausicaä Of The Valley of the Wind, to the...

Ah, the city of blinding lights. The romance, the couture, the intellectual conversation! The wine, the Gitanes… Bullshit. Paris is like a coercive partner. It always fucks you up and yet you keep crawling back. Every time you leave, you vow never to go there again. Then time passe...

While obviously I want people to read my article, I think it’s especially important that readers visit the Yahoo story on recent numbers published by Fidelity Investments. If you’re not familiar with Fidelity, they are one of the largest providers of 401K plans in America, partnering ...

In 2024, I will seek out three people whose opinions I expect I will strongly disagree with, and will listen to them explain their opinions, and how they arrived at them, without interrupting them. In person, not online. Then I will thank them for being open with me, and I will consider in what ways...

Ifyou’re a vocal woman on social media, you’ve had this accusation flung at you at some point. OK, not trad wives; they’ve got you right where they want you. You’re all good. Sometimes, you’ll hear the word “misandry” instead, ignoring the fact that misan...

I’ve lived with hate all my life, as is true for far too many people all over the world. My first breath was taken in color-based segregation. A pigmentocracy, if you will; a country where a person’s rights and freedoms depended upon their skin color. The hospital didn’t allow &ldq...

A campaign based on attacking Wab Kinew, abandoning Indigenous victims of a serial killer, and jumping on the anti-trans bandwagon cost Heather Stefanson her job. Voters didn’t appreciate Stefanson vowing to never spend a penny to search for two murdered Indigenous women whom poli...

When I had my dispatching company and was just starting out the main decision I had to make was, how much should I charge for my services. I went back and forth from 5% to 8% to 10%. I eventually settled on 10% and the reason was simple, I was well worth it. I gave my carriers the security of kno...

Rep. Chu has served her country and her constituents well for 14 years in Congress. Rep. Gooden’s remarks were racist, xenophobic, and (as Rep. Hakeem Jefferies stated) dangerous. Not even Rep. Gooden’s own party supports his outrageous comments. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI)...

If I could go back in time and find the inventive and creative mind that invented this piece of warm clothing, I would cuss him like he ate the last piece of my birthday cake. I own several hoodies, and they are great on a chilly evening as preventers of goosebumps and the common cold. So stylish in...

If your kid said that to you in a rage, that would be pretty hurtful, right? But if your spouse said that to you in a teasing way after you play a(n innocuous) practical joke on them, that’s a totally different tone. And in Chinese, the word “討厭” (tǎoyàn) meaning ...
