Months and Months of experience and work have culminated into this letter. I spent all of the summer commuting daily with the protestors. I worked hard, stayed humble, and listened to black leadership. After serious thinking, I turn to them the same advice my mother gave to me. I was able to read this at Uprising Sun on Feb 4th.
I discuss why stories have always been the foundation of human belief, why that continues, what the modern stories we tell ourselves are, and why true agnostics are the on the correct path. In my opinion. Read along for current discussions of sad-but-real-life!
Traveling through Hefei to connect and reconnect with Family. I make a great group of Ex-pat friends, but the “Paris of China” is not highly recommended on my travel list. Still, wondrous adventures!
I call these reading Journeys Against the Echo Chamber as I try to honestly approach a book from a perspective I would never agree with. Turns out, pretty garbage book. 0.0/5. Bad writing, bad arguments, bad namecalling. I wouldn’t recommend reading it unless you’d also like to see the roots of the current political climate stemming from the anti-Obama rhetoric.
I review Gambino’s This is America and compare it’s message against the outrage that the qipao prom dress stirred up. Spoiler: I fangirl hard for Donald Glover and think that masses are misdirected.
Genuine, gentle, nuanced opinion on the Charlottesville protests, quickly reviewing the obvious [Fuck Trump. Fuck Nazi's. Black Lives Matter.] and expanding on some nuances [They're justifiably angry, there's so much worse, we should be optimistic.] I'm trying to be fair, honest, balanced, truthful. Persuasive if you're so inclined. Enjoy! Take it as a whole! Cheers!
