    Survival of the dumbest

    Survival of the dumbest

    Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” doesn’t hold up in today’s world. These days, it’s the loud, shameless, and downright ridiculous who thrive, while the rest of us pretend not to notice. From grocery store gladiators to Congress playing chicken with paychecks, stupidity isn’t just surviving. It’s immortal. Continue reading

    If Rude Were a Ringtone

    If Rude Were a Ringtone

    Phones in my house have always come with drama. First, my mom stalked every call on the extension and my dad scared off boys. Now, smartphones stalk me with tracking apps, blast calls at concert volume, and remind me daily that technology may be smart, but humans sure aren’t. Continue reading

    How I Got Fired for Refusing to Work for Free

    How I Got Fired for Refusing to Work for Free

    They offered me a job title without a paycheck, a workload without limits, and “exposure” as my only reward. I declined and got fired with a click. This isn’t a story about losing a job, it’s about refusing to lose my self-respect. Continue reading

    A Hill Worth Dying On – If You’re Made of Crap

    A Hill Worth Dying On – If You’re Made of Crap

    Today proved that natural selection is on sabbatical, and humanity is out here strutting like stupidity is a superpower. Sarcasm abandoned me, common sense flatlined, and stupidity sashayed in sequins, waving like a pageant queen. By mid-morning, I was done. Tonight, I eat like a raccoon in a dumpster and call it coping. Tomorrow, the… Continue reading

    If Monday Had a Flavor, It Would Be Cough Syrup

    If Monday Had a Flavor, It Would Be Cough Syrup

    Mondays have been cursed since the Babylonians named it after the Moon – chaos included. From medieval turnip markets to Victorian “Monday face,” history, psychology, and folklore all agree: Mondays are the worst. Science calls it contrast theory. I call it proof that the universe enjoys watching us suffer. Continue reading

    Hell Hath No Fury Like a Demon With a Desk Job

    Hell Hath No Fury Like a Demon With a Desk Job

    This blog post draws modern parallels to C.S. Lewis’s book The Screwtape Letters. I explore how subtle temptations, such as distraction, division, and putting on a moral show, are just as present today as they were in 1942. It examines how spiritual numbness thrives in the noise of 2025, and how awareness might be our… Continue reading
