Latent Lollygagger: How Dare You
I don’t see it as hyperbole to say we’re looking at the end of the world as we know it. We can either drive that change to ensure future generations thrive, or we can dumbly be carried along with change and then wonder what happened.
Latent Lollygagger: When Everything is Terrible
Is it selfish to turn national tragedies into self-reflection? I struggle with this. It seems both futile and self-aggrandizing.

Tuesday Morning Coffee: Feeling the Feelings
Take care of yourselves, dear friends, and each other. Just don’t forget one for the sake of the other.
