We say a lot of stupid things to kids. But as a parent to three young kids, there’s one question I find especially lothesome. It’s ubiquitous, and people ask it almost automatically. Often, it’s the second question an adult asks a kid, after “What’s your name?”...

A fast road cut through the little town where I grew up. It was a boondock highway, deadly Route 3. Speed limit 55. Which meant one gloomy pervert went 55, and everyone else enjoyed the gut-toughening roar of the 70s and 80s. The ditches on either side of Route 3 were filled with obliterated a...

Anne and Adrienne have been exhorting us to write about something green and Irish this month. So, I decided to round up a bunch of photos from our five-week stay in the Emerald Isle during the summer of 2002. There are six counties in Northern Ireland. We visited five of them in 2002. And there a...

There was never going to be a fifty thousand strong Pro Trump Riot in Miami. A. They’re in prison. B. Why the Hell would they try to blow up Donald Trump, he’s, their guy. C. It’s the economy, stupid. D. Different Day, Different Play. It’s Not Over, It’s Older. ...

I expected to come back to New York and feel like I felt at the beginning, when I got my first look at the city. Riding a train south from Rhode Island, I looked up, and there was Manhattan, the silver stilettos of the skyline regal in the orange sunset, an intricate Cubist brooch on the breast of t...

A tent you can’t stand up straight in is not negotiable for some people. Further down this guide, we go into detail on the downsides and benefits of tall tents with headroom as well as what you should be looking for. Whether you can only stand upright in the middle of your porch area or the...

Another year is coming to an end and the team at Behaviour Change have been reflecting on all that’s happened over the past 12 months. 2023 has really been a year of change and growth. We kickstarted the year by moving into our brand new office after 6 years in Unit 19! This gave us more room ...

I know this will probably come as a surprise to you, given your propensity to believe that you are God’s gift to the world. Heck, I even believed that myself for a while. You dressed up all nice for me and flashed me an irresistible smile when I first walked into the room. After the service...

Imagine the richness of a symphony where only one instrument plays. Diversity of voices is not just a buzzword; it’s the key to fostering innovation, understanding, and progress. Actively seek out and share the experiences and perspectives of people with disabilities in your professional and p...

You often hear, “Guns don’t kill, people kill.” After another mass shooting that killed 18 in Maine, the U.S. House Speaker (third in line to the President) declared “The problem is the human heart. It’s not guns” and, obligatorily, “This is not the tim...

Irealized that cosmopolitanism is bullshit the moment I saw a man casually walking with a huge blood stain on his military uniform in Kyiv, October 2021. Let me explain. Blood stains like that are all over my history as a Ukrainian. At the sweet age of 17, I moved from Ukraine to Canada...

The DC appeals court has finally made its ruling on whether or not Trump is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection. HE IS NOT. Now it’s on to the Supreme Court. They could agree not to hear it which means today’s ruling stands and it’s on to trial. Or it could rule in...

You’re allowed to say this if you’re not white, too, of course. Yeah, yeah, I know… Not “all” white people are that bad. And even if you disagreed with this statement, I’d still see your point. That’s really not the point though, whether “all&rd...
