My daughter's middle school has the most direct fundraising strategy and I'm here for it. We can skip the whole charade.

You did what everyone told you to do. Stay calm. Listen. Validate her feelings. Make her feel heard. And somehow, she got angrier. Maybe you’re not doing validation wrong. Maybe validation isn’t what she actually wants. Video link in replies.

Johnny Bravo! How the hell did this collab happen?
Last night in Chicago, the Smashing Pumpkins brought out Greg Brady to sing “It’s a Sunshine Day” while Flavor Flav head-banged from the audience. This may be the most Gen X thing ever assembled on one stage.

They tried to bury this message. Back in February, my video deconstructing the "Super Empath" myth was hit by two spikes of suspicious external traffic from dozens of nonsense domains. I updated it instead of deleting it. The Super Empath: Marketing a Victim Brand. Link in reply.

an average of 17:49 of a 40-minute video, which is pretty damn good. If you missed it the first time, or you'd like to revisit it, the link is above. And if you'd like to remind the YouTube Algorithm Overlords that this video has value and isn't bot clickbait, please share.

This isn't influencer psychology. It's a clinical examination of how trauma, identity, and marketing can become intertwined and why understanding the difference matters. It's also a caution about predators who masquerade as highly evolved, "intuitive" victims.

Cutest porch pirate ever. Needs an eye patch, though.
I set up a sting operation to find out who is nicking my milk as it's been stolen for 3 weeks in a row. Milkgate mystery solved. I got them on camera. If you see them around, let them know they've been rumbled.
