Happy Pride everyone! This is a sequel to one of the very first blog posts I ever wrote! Unfortunately, drawing from this well is never a fun experience. Well, getting asked the questions (or told the statements) isn't fun. I always have fun here. That's kind of my thing. My joy comes from a deeper place (as I hope yours does too). But without further ado, let's jump into it! The twist this time is going to be that the same meme answers how I feel about all of them. Speaking

If you've taken a look at my Instagram bio, you'll see a good number of titles that I've granted myself. From stuff you should be aware of if you spend time on the site to titles I don't use anywhere else, it's a fun summary of yours truly. Pictured: What I was just talking about. One of those titles that is only mentioned here is that of "Rogue Lawyer." And it strikes me that you may enjoy hearing as to why I feel like this is accurate. It should be quick, but here goes! 1:

Have you ever noticed that some people can't do, well, anything without someone telling them that it's the right move? Heck, now that we live in a world with generative chatbots that will just "yes-and" their users, I feel like we are seeing an explosion of uncertainty. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "Well, let me just ask Chat GPT" or something similar when the actual value of the response given is, well, on par with something that has a track record for just hal

You know, you do too much. No such thing! If anything we don't do enough! You have to rest at some point. Or else bad things happen. Yeah, but I think I have the hang of it this time. Plus, if I don't work hard, I won't get anything done in a reasonable time. Have you ever stopped to think that you're comparing your individual output to what large teams put out professionally? The reason they can keep up with their release schedules is because they have a lot of help and have

And who exactly is that? Oh, no one important. Don't worry about them. I'm worrying about them. Who exactly are they? Seriously, they don't really matter. Your focus is best spent elsewhere. No. I don't think you get it. I want to know who they are. And I'm telling you it's not important. Do you even know who they are? I know enough. What do you mean? I know enough that I know their story and exactly what they're going to say. Do you? You think you're the first one with a ble

A warmer breeze blows through the window crack. The world is past awakening as the seasons change their tack. A peace invades the world as safe as it may ever be. Nature never fully benign, as it will always remain free. But for now, the grass glistens every plant a healthy, lush green. Lazy afternoons beckon softly; the kind not spent behind a screen. Dedicated to D, who encourages such ventures.

Nothing is impossible. Truly. Indeed, it's a fundamental position of my practice that the difference between the possible and impossible is more a matter of attitude rather than anything actually limiting us. If you've read my book , you've probably already seen this with the "spells" section where, among other things, I discuss how one can achieve practical invisibility. Heck, I view my own hormone therapy as a magical process. The quintessential act of magic is taking somet

I work with the willing of which I've only found few. But in the choice before me I decide to do. You'd think more people would want to have some fun. But most are contented letting others have their run. Waiting on the sidelines isn't exactly my style. I can't seem to sit still and still keep my smile. So I don't wait for permission. I don't wait for a proper crew. Armed with those around me, I force my way through.

A Happy April Fool's Day from your favorite semi-humble fool! Today's post is going to be short. It's actually kind of a dare. But we will get to that in a moment. There is a saying that knowledge is learning that tomatoes are a fruit but that wisdom is knowing that you probably shouldn't add it to fruit salad. I'd like to add a corollary to this rule: Foolishness is making a fruit salad with tomatoes anyway because you think it might be fun. And what did I do last night? Wel

Hey everyone! I'm afraid I have some bad news if you came to the February Radio Demon in Residence show. If you were there, you definitely have an idea about what I'm going to say. But if you weren't, see if you can guess what it is! I actually have a strong suspicion on the topic, but we'll get to that in but a moment. Okay. Are you ready? The answer is that... I WASN'T THERE! If you came seeking karaoke and fun, you would have found it but you didn't have your favorite rad

I don't normally do reviews on the site. Well, I do ( example , example , example ), but they're more when I have something specific in mind. Today's review is no exception as we look at a restaurant chain as a metaphor for late-stage capitalism and everything wrong with how current large-scale systems simply do not respect their consumers and treat them more akin to mindless cattle than individuals.
