Dear friends and enemies, welcome to my piece of the shipwreck, this shared scrap of the internet! Scrappy is the right word, I think, for this happily uninhabitable and impermanent place. You feel it, the words and stories that whiz and zing around and at us like rounds of spaghetti shot from a collective gatling gun at the walls of humanity until something sticks. The problem is, I don’t like wasting food, and I have enough unidentified crusty stuff on the walls of my mind. So I’m setting up shop right here and inviting you in. This is a place where we will broach topics you thought were off-limits, examine the “why” behind what we do, and hopefully have some content-driven conversation. We’ll ditch the virulence of social media for just a moment in order to think deeply, deliberate the things flitting around in our minds, and to arm and prepare ourselves with more than memes to live fully. So take a deep breath, pull out your beverage of choice, take off your shoes, and stay a while.
