J’essays
I would be honored if you visited my Substack to read and listen to my j’essays, and I hope you enjoy the experience.
What’s happening?!
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is one of my heroes. But his recent quote conceding to corporate values had me asking what’s happening?! Maybe that’s why ChatGPT made him look so grim in this here illustration.
Seven sinners
S&P 500 corporations sin way worse than Smoke and Stack from Sinners—and the Smokestack Twins stayed booked and busy in that department.
BlackRocked
I thought BlackRock sounded like an awesome company because I love both blacks and rocks, but turns out it’s a mega predatory corporation that collapes communities.
My father’s eyes
Until recently, I was way more focused on capturing photos of my kids for the ‘gram than on actually being present as a parent.
Reality check
I saw Stevie Nicks in concert, and while I loved the show, I’m still wrestling with the reality that she somehow sounded better live—at seventy-seven—than she did on the studio recordings from her prime.
(Food) Freedom!
I won’t let President Trump starve me out and keep me down. Because I would really, really love to stick around.
Pain is love
So many folks rail against corporatism while quietly profiting from it…(Ja Rule voice) “Oh I’m, feelin’ like ya livin’ a…double life.”
Till I collapse (corporatism)
Till I collapse corporatism, I’m spillin’ these j’essays as long as you feel ‘em.
Man in the mirror
Like my man MJ, I’m starting with the man in the mirror and asking him to change his ways. Sha’mone!
Surviving the game
What started off as a fun family geocaching outing ended with my oldest boy and me hunting my youngest down like Gary Busey and a host of B-movie baddies hunted down Ice T in the '90s camp classic, Surviving the Game.
