Imagine your ideal candidate wins this election. They enact great reforms.
Then, in four years, someone who stands against everything you believe in gets elected. Not only that, but they're vicious and brutal.
That person will be immune from criminal prosecution for anything they do as president.

Sometimes what looks like laziness or carelessness is actually hopelessness or low self-esteem.
If I believe deep down that my efforts inevitably fail, my goal subconsciously becomes not to complete the actual task, but to do just enough that I won't be shamed for not trying.

Non-sexual friendships can be incredibly intimate and committed. Friends can truly be family.
I think our culture needs this idea pretty badly.

I fell in love with roleplaying games in 1997. It was still a niche hobby then, and widely misunderstood.
Today, YouTube's featured playlist is an invitation for the world to explore TTRPGs.
I never expected D&D to go mainstream, but it has. And I'm overjoyed.

At the end of the latest episode of It's Been a Minute on NPR, Anna Deavere Smith talks about how to be a good guest in someone else's culture. This is something I think about a lot as I find myself surrounded with people I love and disagree with.

I would love to find a girlfriend who's into TTRPGs, but I'm kind of afraid that we would get into stupid fights about in-character stuff.
“I can't believe you took the kobolds' side. They tried to kill my familiar!”
“Well, maybe if you didn't send him into their lair—”
“Oh, now it's MY FAULT?”

Remember that show where a single mom takes over a struggling small business and forms a found family with the former owner and his adopted son? And they work hard to overcome brutal competition, theft, and their own hangups?
