Obeying the call of truth even to the point of resisting power and the responsibility to champion truth even against trickery. You are responsible even when deceived. The underlying message of 1 Kings 13. “At the LORD’s command, a man of God from Judah went to Bethel, arriving there just as Jeroboam was approaching the…
No Ordinary Penance
No Ordinary Sign Jonah told sailors to sacrifice himself to calm the storm Jesus told the storm, ‘be calm’ “The only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.” “No one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will.” No Ordinary Sacrifice “I have…
Symbolism Happens: The Story of an Accidental Family Masterpiece
This is the brief story of a family vacation photo which went from just another average beach shot, to a filter-powered dramatic epic, to a treasured family vinyl printing hanging on a wall, hung front and center with pride, and the symbolism that happens when you least expect it. Firstly, here’s the photo in question…
Prediction: Simple Salt-water Nasal Sprays as Respiratory Infection Preventative
Originally a twitter thread here. Prediction: A simple over the counter salt water nasal spray will be found to be sufficient preventative for all common respiratory infections. Why do I think this? Firstly, because of personal experience with very frequent flu-like illnesses, trying many treatment approaches, and having an immediate revelatory experience as soon as…
Why I am still a vaccine realist
The following was originally a Twitter thread which I created for the purpose of distilling and citing my objections to the covid vaccine strategy. My primary concerns are with rushed universal application instead of targeting vulnerable demographics.

The Quotable Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
I remember two cases of would-be suicide, which bore a striking similarity to each other. Both men had talked of their intentions to commit suicide. Both used the typical argument – they had nothing more to expect from life. In both cases it was a question of getting them to realize that life was still…

Extreme suicide rates for full transitions support the hypothesis that we are not helping those people. The government should take the lead…
On the struggle of finding love in a Fallen world
Originally a Twitter thread, posted here for posterity. See Full Context, below. This isn’t a case of a homophobic Christian randomly hate sniping tweets. [God] says it’s ok to be gay as long as you never ever find love and happiness and don’t even think about living your truth. But it’s ok to be gay….
A comment about biological sex as a spectrum…
The following was originally a YouTube comment, posted here for posterity. As someone with a deformity, even I can recognize that all of these differences that fall on a spectrum are the result of errors: mutations, copy mistakes, etc. The study of genetics shows a clear intention of the DNA to produce one or the…
