For instance, I have started saying “Coming out of Covid” to refer to our current situation and as a reflection of what I see in wider society – very little masking (including myself […]

Things That Are Societal “Constructs”

Been thinking about this a bit lately in a variety of ways – the “controversy” over gender fluidity/Drag Queen storytimes/”grooming”, the notion of what constitutes “professionalism” as I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work every day while having the most rat-nesty beard this side of Santa Claus, and then the above thought I saw […]

Wisdom Wednesday – “Leadership is about going out of your comfort zone to help others.”

Secular Sunday – History of Israel-Palestine Conflict

Everyone has an opinion on the Israel-Palestine conflict as do I. But I’ll only share two thoughts – I feel for the people on *both* sides of this conflict and I hate that its religion underpinning the conflict (and has been for four thousand years, not one hundred which is the lens most commentary takes.)

Exercised My #skpoli #ParentalRights Today…
