Let’s get a few things strait about Facebook and cancel culture.

Facebook is just a ‘digital community’ organized and accessed via an app or website. It’s not life. The reality is that Facebook sells you as their “product” to advertisers. That’s why it’s free (for now).

You can limit your online exposure to suit your needs. It’s not “cancel culture” if you elect not to participate or to curate your friends list. In fact, blocking, moderating and curating your own Facebook experience is outlined in the Facebook community standards. They encourage you to curate your experience. They depend on it.

Facebook isn’t the only source of free speech or information

You’ve probably heard some say ‘why we should pay taxes if rich people or corporations don’t?’. Why vote when our vote doesn’t count? Many feel their civic participation has no effect or their voice is not heard. Year after year everything we fear seems to get worse. The haves have more, and the have-nots, have less. The endless poverty and economic woes have reached bitter ends. If matters get any worse the entire country may collapse completely.

The pandemic revealed how fragile our economy was; how dependent upon low wage essential workers the country is, and how quickly corporations will…

Life is a collection of stories, most of them untold. Snapshots of time spent looking out of a window at the world. The stories people subconsciously know at least something about, but never quite put two-and-two together until they become the story themselves. Stories of solitude and the vast emptiness all around us. Stories of the silent surrender to our own timeless insignificance. Stories of awakening to the state of what it means to be human; alone in a crowded world. Nomadland is one of those.

The term, “hindsight is 20/20” will forever mean something completely different now that we’ve experienced the year 2020.

What follows is a list of some of the significant things that happened in the year that will live in infamy, 2020.

2020, the year that #Fuck2020 trended more than #FuckCancer

In Australia, tens of millions of acres burned to the ground at the start of 2020. More than a billion animals dead, hundreds of species required emergency intervention in the Australian Bushfires.

Hong Kong protests turn massive. Organizers say as many as a million people protested in a single event.

When we started the year, Flint Michigan still didn’t have…

This story could have been entitled, “Love in the age of Covid-19: confessions of an asymptomatic hopeless romantic”. And the focus could have been about the struggle lonely people are having these days.

But it’s mostly about Love Stories in inspiring films; otherwise known as “feel-good movies”. Perhaps it’s also intended to get you in the mood for Love in defiance of the pandemic.

Let’s face it. 2020 really knocked the wind out of most people. Dating as a means to meet potential romantic partners screeched to a halt back in March due to the COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) pandemic.

We’ve been…

I am merely an observer — an astronaut in a flesh suit designed to survive the harsh environment here on Earth. But not merely to live through the experience, but to interact with every aspect of it — nature and the elements in a wholly visceral way — but no less intellectual than anything else.

I am a lowly wanderer, a forward-leaning time-traveler incrementally edging ever ahead in time crudely measured in solar cycles. An Earth-bound dreamer quenching a thirst for life; tasting the textures and touching the flavors of reality.

Life is something all around us that, despite centuries…

An Entire Tropical Island All To Yourself…

Motu Tane is among the magical islands that surround the incredibly beautiful island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia. With Bora Bora framed in your view just beyond the white sand beach and crystal clear warm water, there’s just no words that can describe the feeling you’ll have here.
