Revolver 🥺

Posted on December 1, 2019August 13, 2022 by cultured

I read somewhere that the number one killer of Americans is Americans.At the time it didn’t really make sense.I miss those days.

Changing of the seasons 🥺

Posted on October 23, 2019August 13, 2022 by cultured

I think about climate change all the time. I didn’t need Greta to help me with that, but I applaud her for helping those that do. The more I see, the more I can’t help thinking that it’s funny to think that the collective of the middle and lower classes bought into the idea that…

Better a string of letters? 🥺

Posted on October 21, 2019August 13, 2022 by cultured

There is no mystery to me why “the West” is losing its competitive edge. Between universities that see students as asses in seats with a pay checks for faces and HR departments that never see the human in the resource, how could we not. One day someone will have to explain to me why it…

A little bit privileged 🥺

Posted on October 20, 2019August 13, 2022 by cultured

After careful consideration, I have decided that I definitively do not like going to the grocery store anymore. I am aware of how spoiled that sounds. I should be thankful for the ease with which I can find nutrients for my body. I should be thankful for the variety that is overwhelmingly available to me….

Under-exposed 🥺

Posted on October 17, 2019August 13, 2022 by cultured

It may be true that you can never go home again, but it is also true that you cannot change from whence you came. Our exposure to “culture” and “cultures” is completely dictated by the physical space we inhabit and the people that share that space with us. As best as I can tell, the…

Disparity 🥺

Posted on December 2, 2018August 13, 2022 by cultured

When I was a child is such a clichĂ© way to start a paragraph.  I might as well say it was a dark and stormy night, or maybe Once upon a time.  Yet here I sit, writing it and giving wholly into the clichĂ©.  â€śWhy?” you might ask?  Well, because my topic today is unfortunately…

Exceptionalism 🥺

Posted on December 4, 2017December 24, 2020 by cultured

Image credit: NASA’s Earth Observatory/NOAA/DOD Passively watching the life cycle of a dictator is one of America’s favorite pastimes.  Who really needs the details.  It’s not like that could ever happen to us.

Arthritic flower 🥺

Posted on December 3, 2017December 24, 2020 by cultured

The world feels heavy as of late, not directly because of the political changes in my homeland, but more the hate of the few that has so heavily outweighed the love of the many.  I am struggling with the math on that one, but I’m sure if I ever do figure it out, a thumb…

Thoughts on a photograph

Posted on August 5, 2017December 24, 2020 by cultured

These last few months have brought up some very dark perspectives for the future for me.  Even if you haven’t really being paying attention it is easy to understand why.  What is not easy to understand is from where all the hate is coming.  When I stumble upon photographs like this one, I remember the…

Not your grandmother’s economy class

Posted on June 1, 2014December 28, 2020 by cultured

There are several very striking differences in these photographs. In the 1960’s, people dressed for air travel.  This shows, at least in apparence, that people who travelled by plane saw it as something deserving their “best” face.  One can infer that this also means that these travellers would not accept to travel below a certain…
