We've all heard about Number One's Number Two but the real problem is how (poorly) the whole situation was handled!

Have you ever watched a show and damn near started pulling your hair out when the character just don't open their flipping mouths and TALK to each other? Yeah, me too! Unfortunately these same issues often play out in our own lives in equally infuriating ways.

After a year of being a very serious gym goer it started to dawn on me that I could have had this my whole life. Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s the focus was on being as skinny as possible, crash dieting, and ripping women apart in the media for being size 6 "whales". PE class was just another class to get through complete with a yearly humiliation ritual. It could have been a chance to learn more about my body and what I was capable of rather than just slogging through. I wanted a more comprehensive experience and didn't receive one nor did I get the ground work to even know where to look for what I was lacking.

Education isn't just about degrees—it's about honoring those who came before us. In this video, I reflect on the journey from novice to master, the power of generational progress, and the wisdom passed down from grandmothers who knew education was the key to freedom.

From women fighting for financial independence to the relentless desire to learn, this is a celebration of curiosity, perseverance, and the people who made our success possible. If you've ever felt the pull to learn something new, this one's for you

Libraries aren't just quiet rooms with books. They're opulent, tax-funded goldmines packed with rare collections, audiobooks, genealogy databases, and professional "weaponized nerds" (librarians) who hold master's degrees and will hunt down anything you need.

In this video, I'm breaking down everything your local library offers and why you should be using it like the luxury resource it is. From requesting rare books through interlibrary loan to simply walking through the doors (foot traffic = funding!), supporting libraries is one of the easiest ways to invest in your community and yourself.

Plus, I share my surprising connection to Frederick Douglass, dive into the real costs of running a library, and remind you that as a taxpayer, you have every right to ask for what you want.

Naruto gets a terrible rep for being a bad dad in Boruto but that’s not a fair title to give him when you consider all the factors.

Let’s consider the fact that he was:

-an orphan -hated by the whole village (for saving their ungrateful butts -neglected -food insecure as he grew up -completely divorced from the concept of a healthy home life Now these are not excuses for his lack in terms of hands on parenting but rather to show why such a thing would not be of great concern to him.

Watching this years mayoral campaign has been a real treat, especially when you look back on previous elections, actually engaged politicians who focused on materially improving the lives of New Yorkers... truly how refreshing!

Note: The government is no longer shut down now. But at the time of this recording it was still shutdown/in the process of reopening.

I’ve finally finished watching Hazbin Hotel season 2, and I was very pleased with how the season left off. The start was a bit slow for me, but I really enjoyed the music and character growth for Vaggi and Emily. Two angels standing on business and I’ve got to say I was glad to see it. As for the rest, prepare yourself for a 10-minute-long Vox drag.

Every generation, the preceding generation has complaints about the rising generation. They're rude, they're lazy, they're uncultured. But there's never any reflection on how we've shaped society for them. How we've participated in their upbringing... or how we've abandoned them. One piece I really wanted to touch on is how young people (literally all children) are being locked out of society and public spaces.

They can't go to malls, they can't hang out at food courts, and they do not get opportunities outside of commuting (maybe) to express their independence or develop needed social skills. This is leading some of them to engage in hazardous activities, and what I despise about the reaction to it is the simple fact that disparaging them won't fix the situation at all. Taking action to provide safe third spaces is an option, being active participants in shaping our communities is an option, and, perhaps most importantly, letting go of our intense desire to be unannoyed is definitely an option.
