Flint, Michigan can’t seem to catch a break. This one proud titan city, where some of the brilliant minds that helped birth the automotive industry had lived and worked, was brought low once the factories closed, leaving the city desperate to figure out what next. The city had built itself around the automotive industry. So… Continue reading Stop Using Flint As Your Ruin-Porn Buffet

I Just Wanna Be Social
Can I just say that at this point in the timeline, I am a little shocked that NO ONE has managed to create competition with Facebook. No one. How is that possible? Facebook, a few years ago, was a nearly perfect animal.It was about connection and sharing. Swell. As it became embraced by businesses, it… Continue reading I Just Wanna Be Social
Indoctrinate
We Americans have been hearing about indoctrination for years now. We have heard how the “Left” is using education to indoctrinate the children to be gay, to be trans, to be weak, to be progressive, to be un-American, to be elitist, to be educated, and on and on. Children, like everyone else, are political pawns.… Continue reading Indoctrinate
Everything Fades
I think it’s natural to reach a point in your life where you start to question who you are and what you meant to the world. I have talked about it before, the idea of legacy, but this is more about the moments that populate our lives. Our lives are so strange in that it’s… Continue reading Everything Fades
Thankful
This is a time of year a lot of us start to contemplate things and the life around them. I tend to get sentimental this time of year and think of the things I have lost. The people I have lost. I start to think about my place in the world. The funny thing is… Continue reading Thankful
The Spooky Chris Podcast – The Call is Coming From Inside the House
The post briefly references a recent Presidential election, indicating an intention to discuss it further. It suggests a casual tone, inviting engagement with the subject of the election without going into specific details.

If you told me when I was, say, 18, that I would be where I am today, I am not sure how I’d react. I have seen and done things I’d never have dreamed of. If you told me I was going to have a daughter one day, well, odds are I’d collapse. Never in… Continue reading FOUR
The Blood-Soaked Message
There is a point where screaming that the house is on fire loses its power. With the building full of smoke, and everyone weary of hearing that the smoldering embers that have never gone out are going to set the whole place ablaze, it’s hard to keep caring. There’s a point where a trauma response… Continue reading The Blood-Soaked Message
The Call is Coming From Within the House
In a time when everything has become weaponized. Everything is politicized. It feels dangerous to love. Oh, sure, we can do it, be bold, and loud, and love to spite those that hate, but loving is dangerous in times like these. My wife and I are IVF parents. The journey was hard, expensive, and dangerous… Continue reading The Call is Coming From Within the House

You Do It Because You Have No Choice
I have talked about it before in other blogs but there’s a point with every creative where you ask yourself - why am I doing this? Most of us ask ourselves this about one thing or another. That self-assessment makes us examine the things we are doing and whether they are valuable in the end. … Continue reading You Do It Because You Have No Choice
A Deep Breath
When I write my political blogs, like this one is, I understand that I am writing them for myself. The people that agree with me already agree with me. Those that don’t are not going to be swayed.That’s how it works. I get that. Frankly, our beliefs and convictions should be strong enough that a… Continue reading A Deep Breath
