I wrote about my cousin, the person I admired more than anyone. Until he wasn't.

Will record an audioblog companion for this soon, but I need to finally put this out into the world. (Update: audioblog done and published.)

I've missed Sam for a long time (or: Pick Your Battles)

A very good website by visual & verbal artist, Keenan.

@keenan I don't want politics to ruin relationships but I also can't sanction world views that are backwards and antithetical to every value I have. You captured so well the quandary so many of us face in the modern era between our loved ones and our values. Shit is hard.
@amerpie You said it, Lou. It's something I struggle with so much. I want to be true to my values, but a part of that is cherishing the people who have made a positive impact on my life. When those are in contention... what do you do?
