Meandering Monday about Greener Grass

Jealousy and envy are human nature – it’s why the Bible has prohibitions against them (any religion worth its salt should be pushing its adherents to be better than the animals – to hold us to a higher standard – instead of patting us on the back and telling us we’re perfect.) It isn’t amazing … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about What We Really Know

We do our best to understand the world around us. Assuming our understanding is true, our thoughts are happening inside our skulls, pretty much isolated from everything else. We rely on information coming to us from outside… of whatever it is we think we are on the inside. We have to trust that information, but … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Obsolete” (and a coupon!)

We’re getting closer and closer to making “improvements” in our genetics, whether it’s a good idea or not.

Or maybe a word that I hear reminds … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Abortion Disconnect

Most of us have an opinion about abortion – many have STRONG ones. It’s an incredibly divisive issue, and when you try to speak with someone who doesn’t agree with you, there’s a disconnect. We’re using different language as each side builds its narrative. There are two main sides – the PRO-CHOICE (which the other … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Human Sacrifice and the Greater Good

I saw a tweet someone had posted about antivaxers – I’d never seen the word before, so I had to look it up (so I live under a rock – sue me.) Antivaxers are people who are opposed to vaccinations – afraid to give them to their kids because there might be adverse effects. I … Continue reading →
