Acid Populism What is Acid Populism? In its simplest sense, it’s a political and cultural cocktail, a swirling mixture of ideas and philosophies that refuse to be pinned down. Picture it like the kaleidoscopic music of the mid-to-late 1960s: folk blended with... (...)
I got some sleepI finally got 6 hours of sleep last night. Honestly I'm surprised I did. I have been stressed and hyper focused on what my neurologist wants me to start doing. Joel and I talked about a lot and we couldn't come up with a clear answer. So anyway... (...)

The Kindness That Outshines Beautybeauty is not measured by the mirror, but by the moments you create in the lives of others. A gentle word, a patient smile, a small kindness offered when no one is watching—these are the details that make someone truly radiant. Faces change, styles s... (...)
My neurologist appointmentSo my neurologist is asking me to no longer hold in any of my tics. She feels it is causing me many issues and it's why they are so bad and intense at times. She feels my stress, my anxiety, my sleep everything might improve if I stop holding them... (...)

The Shape of LongingIn twilight hush where willows lean, Love tiptoes through the in-between - A shadow cast on silver streams, A whisper stitched in woven dreams. It wears no name, no steady face, Just fleeting warmth, a phantom grace. It lingers soft on breath and... (...)
