Leaps of Imagination

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
— Gloria Steinem

You. Yes, You.

Posted in Other, Writing, tagged , , on November 26, 2024| Leave a Comment »

You. Yes, you.

I see you.

Sitting with a cup of coffee, crossing the street juggling kids and groceries, dozing on the bus, putting in yet another double shift, smiling even when it’s hard, waiting in line to send Christmas presents, working late into the night.

I see behind your public face to the child you used to be, the dreams you still have, the hopes you carry for the future.

I see you. 

And I carry those hopes for you too.

Do What You Can

Posted in Writing, tagged , , , , , on November 23, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Some days I don’t have time to write, but today I have a different problem. I have time, technically, but don’t have the mental space to write. 

And that has to be ok. 

Do what you can, where you are. For me today, that means being ok with the fact that writing is off the table.

Until tomorrow!

Newsflash: Day Job Taking All Day

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , on November 19, 2024| Leave a Comment »

I like work for a number of reasons but some days, I just need a little break. And, apparently, 11,000 Post-Its animating a year in the life of illustrator Daren Jannace.

Goofy, yes. Fun, yes. But the most useful message in this project for me is that even small amounts of work add up over time.

And now, back to work!

Updates on the Arc of the Moral Universe – McSweeney’s Internet Tendency

The arc of the moral universe is running very late. It’s sitting in standstill traffic behind a fleet of Amazon delivery vans, a burning Tesla, and a stretch limousine with Truck Nuts.

The arc of the moral universe is leaning on the horn.

The arc of the moral universe shouldn’t have stopped for that latte.

The arc of the moral universe owes you an apology.

Dilithium All the Way?

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , , , on November 13, 2024| Leave a Comment »

You know how some days a question gets stuck in your mind? For me today, it’s the question of where the energy comes from for Star Trek’s matter replicators. (Reminder: I came to Star Trek much later than Star Wars, and I’m ok with that.) Does everything in the ST universe run on dilithium?

Sure, I could look it up, but instead I’m going to use the distraction to keep the part of my mind that focuses on the future happily entertained, instead of stressfully worried. Because that leaves me with more positive energy for action.

Whatever it takes, right?
