  • This is actually something I’ve run into in my day to day. I changed my full name when I got married because I’ve hated my name for my whole life. My old name was very cute and very white, and I frequently got questions about the beloved children’s show I was named after. It made being a working adult pretty hard. What I didn’t expect was that my new name is heavily assumed to be Latino. I was going for the Italian poet but a few people have been confused to find an absolute honky in the interview.
















  • Can’t say it’s my favorite but I got into an argument with my middle school government teacher about how the actual rules of the us government aren’t written down or enforceable and are only held up by everyone agreeing to play the same game. He said that’s ok because our politicians don’t treat government like a game and some day I’ll grow up enough to know the difference between games and life.

    Mr. Nelson, if you’re reading this I’ll buy you a drink and commiserate with you.
