The Golden Rule
June 20, 2022

For most of us, when faced with a law or policy we don’t like, our options are to comply with it, or, failing to do so, risk fines, imprisonment, job-loss, and ostracism.

Paper Plane
March 10, 2022

Bad news blares from every stamen, every mouth, every
passing car and leaf blower. I am coated in dust. It has

December 11, 2021
