I recently saw someone say that we must keep in mind with Trump conservatives that they are just people like we are and we need to treat them with respect and kindness as we would everyone else. I saw that and my eyes near to fell out of my head at the audacity of it… Continue reading Building a Bridge Out of Words

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
Hey! It’s the Spooky Chris Podcast
If you have stopped by the site before, well, HI, thanks for ignoring the bleeding walls and wailing pillow cushions and returning. There are a few different sections on the site to check out but one that you may not have explored is my podcast. I started the podcast in 2020 as COVID-19 was starting… Continue reading Hey!

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
Just What We Wanted
It’s interesting that you hear time and again how America is the new Roman empire - the greatest society ever built. Interesting because we leave out the part where the empire came crumbling down because the people that swore to serve it decided that what they wanted mattered more than what the nation needed. It… Continue reading Just What We Wanted
For the Children
In the charged socio-political climate everything is being weaponized by a very vocal minority. THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN! They yell as if that both explains what they do and why. And if you dare to question them then you are said to be trying to corrupt these imaginary kids. We are living in… Continue reading For the Children

So, The Only Way Forward Is Back, I Guess
It takes a special sort of insanity to head for the bathroom and the bedroom of America while the world warms, children die hungry, and the populace becomes more and more divided into have and have nots. It’s a special sort of madness to shrug as a sovereign nation is invaded by a bloodthirsty dictator… Continue reading So, The Only Way Forward Is Back, I Guess
Awakened and Asleep
It seems like it’d get tiresome being outraged all the time. It seems like with all the things going on in the world the small hills the hard right conservatives want to die on, crosses held high above their heads wouldn’t be worth it. GREAT! You have forced people who don’t identify as their birth… Continue reading Awakened and Asleep
Tear Down
If we’re honest, the American education system is a dumpster set ablaze. It has become politicized and weaponized and children are suffering for it. It has fully become a situation of haves and have-nots. The haves can go wherever they want to school with the option of private school, charter school, or even homeschooling on… Continue reading Tear Down
The Flags We Fly
There’s a strange scent of fire to the air these days. The scent of casual people sitting by the bonfire, beer in hand, and talking about burning it all down. This isn’t anything new. The punk kids did it, the radicals do it, the rebels do it, and anyone that’s ever been burned by a… Continue reading The Flags We Fly
Gun Runner
It takes only a cursory look at the news of the past few years to see a horrible trend and that is one of (mostly)White homeowners taking the Stand Your Ground and Castle Defense to the limits of the law and opening fire at every imagined threat. While I am sure there are always instances… Continue reading Gun Runner
Performance Art
There’s something obscenely performative about Republican outrage. Something a bit theatrical, like a child’s tantrum, in how their ire is raised whenever something offends them. The anti-cancel culture movement canceling everything that dares to disrupt their vision of the world. Their narrow, sad, gated off vision. I dunno of anything more childish than grown men… Continue reading Performance Art
