    Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

    The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

    I went back to school instead.

    The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.




  • Not many, but my hope is that anyone interested enough does a little research.

    Bonhoeffer’s pacifism is a complicated matter. He believed in nonviolence, but also participated in a plot to kill Hitler.

    To summarize him a little…. Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.









  • I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.

    1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.

    Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.

    And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.
