Labels, like shirts, tend to fit too tight at the collar and too long at the sleeves, but if you treat me as a mediocre, cishet, middle-aged white guy, you're not going to be far off the mark.
Might follow back if you'll add joy to my timeline.

Cynicism is corrosive to democracy. We're becoming more cynical, as a society, and that's why we're sliding into authoritarianism. We don't believe things can be better, so we don't demand it, and things get worse.
Fuck that. See the world the way it could be. And then help make it a reality.

Prisoners should be treated well. Other than being separated from society, which is their actual allotted punishment, they shouldn't be subject to any discomfort that isn't an unavoidable part of that separation. They shouldn't be kept in luxury, but not in squalor or danger either. 1/
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Cynicism is poisonous. It creates really shitty kneejerk reactions to things as innocuous as a parent asking for recommendations in maybe (big, big maybe) a slightly too earnest fashion

A good crew to have rescuing me, I'll admit.
Although if they're the ones rescuing me, the idea of who (or what) might have kidnapped me is worrying. The Sanctuary team only gets involved when things get Abmormal.

One important point in today's column: telling someone that they ARE "good enough" for you or DO "deserve" you often ends up reinforcing the idea that love is "earned" or goes to the "worthy". Better to reject the premise entirely and say "I don't care about 'good enough', I love you, period."
NEW COLUMN: His girlfriend feels insecure about their relationship and she’s worried she’s not good enough for him. How can he show her that she absolutely IS?

Don't expect much from me this week. It's going to be a very busy week, so I'm not going to have much time to goldbrick about on social media.
On a related note, if you're in or near Ottawa, ON, come out to Carleton Place to see Groundhog Day: the Musical (yes, based on the film) May 1-4, 8-10!
