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 This was incredibly well-written.

Like a lot of people, I suspect, I have distanced from and/or completely lost people I cared about to the right wing rage machine over the past decade or so.

Most were just acquaintances. Some were people I cared deeply about and respected.

I’m glad I read this. Thank you.

@jeff Thank you, Jeff.

I'm glad we're not alone in this, but I also hate what a common story it's become. I often question myself if I've made the right choice, but I just can't imagine tolerating people in my life who want nothing more than to make me as angry as they are.
