There He Was… and in He Walked: Lessons on Mythic Storytelling from the Mariachi Trilogy

The "Gen Z stare" isn't an affectation older cohorts need to accept as the new mode. Politesse isn't phoniness; it's social currency. Insisting you're too good for the social compact will do nothing to "improve communication," merely widen the generation gap.

A native #NewYorker, proud #Bronx resident, environmental activist, and card-carrying democratic eco-socialist, I'm voting for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in the 6/24 mayoral primary.
