friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Your Writing Could Save Somebody’s Life
I was just having a super-cool interaction with my buddy Rusty Shackleford a few minutes ago. I came downstairs to hang with my daughters while they splatted the toon, (playing Splatoon 3 on Switch), and thought I’d check my Medium for new comments.

Introductions, Please
Introductions, Please I would like to introduce myself and no doubt there will be negative reactions to what I have to say in this post and any posts that may follow. To save you time looking up my profile and seeing what I have posted I will tell you upfront. I am a 55-year-old white American Christian male. The fact that I am a 55-year-old person should not factor in anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I am a person of Caucasian descent should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I am an American should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I believe in Jesus Christ and that he is the Messiah should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I am a male should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I do not think as you, should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. The fact that I do not have the same beliefs as you should not factor into anyone’s view of me, yet it will. My actions and MY actions alone should factor into anyone’s view of me, but many will allow preconceived biases to shape their judgment of me. And before anyone asks, What about speech? I would put that under actions as much as writing. When you express your thoughts and beliefs, that is an action, as much as physical actions are.

Dear Alpha Female
If you’re like me and you spend way too much time online, then chances are you’ve come across the term: ‘alpha female’. The idea has attracted its fair share of criticism. Some say it’s not real, it’s a myth. Others will tell you that it’s a bad thing. That it’s toxic, it’s backward. That she is lonely. She’s cold, cruel, and undesirable.

Were You a Better Human as a Child?
With so many recent mass shootings, hate crimes, rampant racism, and bigotry, I’m starting to wonder if people have always been this shitty. Has this deplorable behavior been a constant in the 48 years I’ve been in this world?
