Hi all! Here is the aforementioned short Thanksgiving post. Sorry this is a day late, I didn’t calculate that I wouldn’t have time to write on Thanksgiving itself.

The Productivity Problem
I am a very inefficient person. I have a short attention span, and I will almost always choose instant gratification over longer term productivity. I hate this about myself, because it means I can’t do so many activities that I think of as integral to my personality. Generally, I think people feel better after seriousContinue reading “The Productivity Problem”
What’s the Point of Mothers Day?
Hi all, today I will write a piece attempting to solve the following question: What’s the point of Mother’s Day? Or Father’s Day? Or National Pancake Day? What does it mean to consecrate a time in honor of a general concept? As always, I will respond to any comments. This post was going to beContinue reading “What’s the Point of Mothers Day?”

Hey all! Military post today! Sorry this is late; it took me a while. Just a quick heads-up before we begin: This week’s post will be delayed as I will be in Seneca State Forest with some relatives!

A Look into American Gun Culture
It is impossible too, while writing a post about an extremely political topic, say I will remain completely unpolitical. But I’m going to do my best. I am going to try to write an unbiased post about American Gun Culture. Past, present, and future. In the early 1700s, guns were a necessity, not a statement.Continue reading “A Look into American Gun Culture”
