- Media List #7: Doomscrolling Edition ()
“Doomscrolling is slowly eroding your mental health” by Angela Watercutter for Wired Rolling through social media feeds as if the incoming stream of information makes any tangible difference, as if snippets of awareness of more injustice helps right wrongs, as if it is an education… Every social media account I’ve held over the past twenty […]
- the slowdown: The “Good” White People ()
Notes: This episode features the song “Self Driving” by Smo, used under a Creative Commons license from the Free Music Archive. The clip featuring Jeff Foxworthy comes from the track “Southern Accent” from his 1995 album, Games Rednecks Play.

- the slowdown: Is This Water? ()
Last month I received a text letting me know a friend of mine had died. He was young, only in his 50s, but had lived life hard. His name was Bill. Bill was a coworker of mine, and four years ago when I moved into a new apartment I invited some people over to break […]
- Media List #6: The Money Where Your Mouth is Edition ()
“I Don’t Feel Like Buying Stuff Anymore” by Anne Helen Petersen for BuzzFeed News While we’ve opened back up society to a limited degree, some things may never be the same as they were. Thank god. It feels like so much has changed in just a few months. When all of this began, the minority […]
- Media List #5: Grief Edition ()
I found something out today (well, several days ago, actually… more on that momentarily): There are levels of Right Wing realness to the “Obamagate” hashtag on Twitter, differentiated by whether people spell it #obamagate or #obaMAGAte. I’ve tried making sense of it, the capitalization serving as a cute wink to broader ideological positions within the […]

- The Orb & Orbital ()
The Orb and Orbital have been vaguely conflated in my mind for as long as I’ve been aware of the two groups. Thinking back, I’ve owned Orbital’s 1996 In Sides and the Orb’s 1997 release Orblivion, but can’t seem to mentally reference much beyond a few tracks from either. All the same, the Orb’s 1990 […]
- Self-Reflection Fatigue ()
Last night I was talking on the phone with a friend. This particular friend and I tend to veer distinctly into conversation of a philosophical tilt, working “recovery” concepts into a broader picture of how we’re progressing as people. We talk about once a month and it’s always exhausting. One of the things that I […]
- South Cumberland State Park (Fiery Gizzard Trail, TN) ()
This past weekend M. and I took a trip down to South Cumberland State Park, hiking the short two mile Grundy Forest Day Loop of the Fiery Gizzard Trail. We were hoping to cross over to a longer leg of the trail, but a bridge outage cut those plans short. I still decided to make […]
