Wicked for Good is a nonsensical term being marketed to our youth in a Disney film
Wicked For Good Does Not Compute In John Milton's poem Paradise Lost, Satan states, "Evil Be Thou My Good." This lets us know that good and evil are polar opposites. Whenever serial killers are discussed, the words evil and wicked are used to describe them. Why then is Disney blurring the lines with the new film Wicked For Good?

Book Review: "Scoop" by Evelyn Waugh
Yes I'm back to rereading some Evelyn Waugh. Scoop is one of those books where anyone who's read it has something nice to say about its wittiness, the way it tells the story and of course, Evelyn Waugh's amazing cast of characters. Often regarded after Brideshead as his best work, I've often read about this book in other texts by people like Christopher Hitchens who have hailed this book as a seminal text of the 20th century. Scoop, I can honestly say is a fantastic book that is a lot of fun to read. It has not only great wit and intellect, but also contains a storyline which is both immersive and one of those experiences that is practically unforgettable.

No More National Novel Writing Month
For many years now, in November, I would write 50,000 plus words for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Each day, I would write. It wasn't important to edit as I wrote, because I knew in a month or two it would be time to edit.

FPS: Poetry of the Hunt Challenge Winners
Welcome back, writers. This time, the chase took center stage. For Poetry of the Hunt, we asked poets to explore what it means to pursue something, or someone, that may never be caught. Whether the chase unfolded in the wild or within, these pieces moved with instinct and tension, carrying the quiet ache of almost finding what was lost.

Not Quite How Dad Planned It
MAPS I HOLD ON TO *** I think I would like to start over, I believe that I made some wrong turns. Stuck in these messed up adventures of my life, seems to tell me I still got so much to learn. Things you're certain that you'd never forget, begin to fade like an old pair of jeans. I guess I neglected to remember to care for the map that you instilled in me.

What I learned working in the cannabis industry. Content Warning.
Over the last 13 years I was a budtender in the medical then recreational cannabis industry in Washington State. I also had the pleasure of working on a cannabis grow operation where I trimmed and packaged cannabis. It’s truly amazing to see how far we have come in Washington state with the cannabis industry. Over the last 13 years I watched us go from medical ma and pa shops to chain cannabis stores. The future is bright for the cannabis industry.
