This is a topic I have actively avoided speaking about since it became a concern, largely because the well was so poisoned that to engage with it stood to do nothing but make everyone’s lives worse. However, it has been quite some time since the last notice of any drama coming from the person propagating…

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. There’s been no need to, really. Of course, there’s ideas in the backlog, but I am far too busy enjoying the season. Seasonal depression never really hits for me. Besides, there’s a good woman and hot chocolate in my arms, not to mention the very entertaining dog. What’s more…

Is who to marry. Assuming you do get married, that is. I plan on it personally. I’ve talked about my woman multiple times here, but always tangentially through other posts. At the time I met her, I had a very specific list of criteria in my mind, all of which she met and then some….

It can be common for cultural homogenity and alienation of others to be disguised as compassion. This often takes the form of “Way of thinking or policy X is best for everyone, therefore anyone who proposes policy Y or way of thinking X+1 is a bad person”.

Someone’s actions are predicated on their worldview, among other factors. While I have alluded to some of this elsewhere in the blog, it would be helpful to share some of my worldview in hopes you can understand where I am coming from when I share some of my more out-there perspectives.

I’ve taken a new primary job that does not involve night shift. Still emergency nursing, which I have grown to love, but no night shifts. Just days and evenings. No more staying up until 5am as I am now – this is my last string of nights. This was a long overdue change, though it…

Radical acceptance as a topic is something almost everyone has heard of in some form. It is, in essence, stoicism. The proper variety, not the “emotionless robot” variety some misled individuals carry with them. No, it is the idea that you ought to sit with what happens and what has happened. The good, the bad,…

What would originally have been stressful can be made easy with the right preparation and the right people. My girlfriend and I were recently forced to evacuate Jasper, AB due to intense wildfires that eventually destroyed just over 30% of the town. Yes, for you lurkers from my social media, you probably knew I’d talk…

This one’s a lot more lighthearted than most. I curate my digital environment to be very utilitarian. In doing so, I wanted to know if there was better than mainstream apps. There was, so much better. You may find all of the following helpful, some mainstream and others less so. Most are open-source and free,…
