Music Monday – “It’s not such a scary time for boys/They’ve always had the upper hand, they’ve always had a choice/It’s time for women to rise up, use our collective voice/The day to vote is Nov 6th so let’s go make some noise”

As I type this, Democrats have a 75% chance of taking the House of Representatives and a 20% chance of taking the Senate in the US midterm elections which happen in just under a month. In the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh decision, here’s hoping that women (and men who recognize the injustice that was done […]

A while back on AskReddit, there was a question about “What will be the “smoking” of the next generation which our kids judge us harshly for?” At the time, I thought that it would be “eating meat” that would be seen by future generations as something that, although enjoyable, had a big negative impact on […]
