About survival, parenthood, trauma, and navigating life in America’s collapsing social safety net. This work brings attention to the lived realities of those who are often unheard and unseen in policy debates.

I have curated and collated in my mind an entire library of books, into which I can retreat when the light deserts me.

The Paradox of Tolerance

A society that is unlimitedly tolerant will eventually be taken over by the intolerant.

Therefore, to preserve a tolerant society, you must be intolerant of intolerance.

Give me the truth, no matter how uncomfortable. Comfort built on lies isn’t comfort at all.

Caring isn’t a currency you exchange or something that only exists when someone is physically near you. It’s a way of showing up, with presence, intention, and consistency. Nothing is expected in return.

@davidpakman.bsky.social do you think Trump keeps harping on about other countries allowing immigrants in because he wants the doors slammed on Americans fleeing from him?

My life, I've lived in hot pursuit of that which u require,
& now I find 'tis knowledge which my 🫀 truly desires.

For truth & all of ⚖️ lays its head upon the pyre,
& ample gaze gives way to kings who fumble & perspire.

Guilty conscience has a way of giving over self;
& thus the masses at the wire.

"A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king,
and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm."

"What means you this?"

"Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar."

I have one thing to say about the issue of free speech, as it has so become, and it cannot be said better than this:

"Your majesty, and we that have free souls, it touches us not;
let the galled jade wince, our withers are unwrung."
