Is Diversity True Diversity When It’s Fake? Okay, so basically, Levi’s says it is going to “experiment†with AI models to “…diversify the iconic company’s online shopping experience.†Bull-Fucking-Shit. Where I’m sitting right now I can see about 20 people that Levi’s could put in their ads, or dress in their clothes in their online…

Can we stop debating “woke” and actually do something? About a decade ago I was on the phone to my mother and somehow got on the subject of guns. During this conversation I said something to the effect of “…Lowell (hubby) is a pacifist and won’t shoot a gun…”. My mother replied, in all seriousness,…

We have radically rethink our thinking about age and life stages So this winter my older son (23) and I are embarking on a trip to Europe. It started with just he and I and was based on WWII—he is a huuuuuge history buff and wanted to experience everything from Ypres to Bastogne to Nuremberg…

TW: Rape, Violence, Evangelicalism, Racism, Bigotry, Dumbassery, etc. One of these days…(In a place that looks exactly like where you are right now.  In a time not so far away. ) …After another child is murdered at school, we gathered and propelled by thoughts and prayers, but mostly by righteous anger, we took all the…

We have become a procrasti-nation. But the solution is ridiculously easy. The freelance life is always one of feast and famine, especially during times of economic instability.

Monday, Monday, so good to me … Monday mornin’, it was all I hoped it would be. At the back of our property above the creek sits my little studio.  It’s one of those pre-built oak buildings and I got it cheap because it was “pre-owned”.  Not very auspicious for something that holds all of…
