The healing journey of a widowed, unschooling badass in Delaware.
Julian Assange is rotting in a UK prison without any charges against him. Former CIA director Mike Pompeo discussed assassinating Assange after the agency was embarrassed by published leaks.
Pompeo has not been charged and the United States is seeking to extradite Assange.
In this interview with Tucker Carlson, Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, advocates for his release.
In this episode of The Tom Woods Show, Michael Gibson discusses his 1517 Fund. He’s part of a growing movement away from the established educational institutions. The Fund aims to support those who aren’t following the institution-to-career path that has become the modern norm.
This project is one of the concrete ways that “renegade students” have of creating value without accreditation.
Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and Thaddeus Russell take a look at Zionism and its relationship to Judaism in a conversation that flies in the face of US corporate and political propaganda.
Tucker Carlson interviewed Alex Jones this week.
Jones has been blocked from every social media platform and refuses to go away.
Listen to the interview and find out why the corporate media has conspired to silence him.
I took this message from Tucker Carlson personally. I’m not through his conversation with Theo Von, but I was inspired by this positivity to return to blogging.
I listen to a lot of podcasts and I’m trying to read more. I’m going to work to share the resources I value. The effort to silence dissident voices (even those as vanilla as Carlson) is a threat to individual thought and I hope to combat it with some “radical” conversations.
I often turn to Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying for sober, curious, and fearless analysis.
In this recent episode, I learned that they have been demonetized by Youtube. This is happening to too many in the podcast sphere. Rumble has dedicated itself to free speech and I am trying to use it as my preferred app for media consumption.
In this episode of Unregistered, Thaddeus Russell talks US foriegn policy with Gerald Sussman.
I learned a lot. Not least of which was how far back the CIA’s hand-in-glove relationship with corporate media goes. Their involvement in the AFL-CIO was also a revelation to me. I was aware of some of the innumerable regime changes around the globe orchestrated by the US government, but not how far the interventions went.
This is an important listen.
One of these videos made me cry. The other one is about cakes.
Art is crashing into my life. God has rarely been subtle in lighting my journey.
I found another podcast discussing a broad spectrum of art and philosophy. It is one in a series of “accidental” discoveries in recent days.
For the next thirty days I am going to explore art in new ways, with curiosity and a focus on becoming a vehicle for more beauty in the world.
The next chapter of my life approaches.
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art will be central for the first time since poetry consumed more of my mind than any college essay could.
I’ll be cohabitating, working, and creating with another adult in deeper ways than I accomplished in ten years of marriage.
As shocking and new and devastating and dangerous as widowhood was (and is), it wasn’t a choice. This next chapter is filled with purpose and I am authoring it willingly, yet it is still unnerving.
Art is unsettling. Beautiful creations put into relief the ugliness of the world. There is peril and risk as art at once reveals and creates mysteries. It is not a casual endeavor.
The conversations below fell into my day to remind me the responsibility that comes with making art.
The first is about Mary, mother of Christ, and her symbolic meaning as portrayed in two-thousand years of art.
The second pertains to the contemporary state of art. It has me considering the Why of this next chapter. It is in my heart, but I’m piecing together the words.
