Æ Sti Snoe Sæ (The Winding Path)

Along with George Orwell, the 20th-century political theorist Hannah Arendt is a new bestseller. She famously coined the phrase “the banality of evil” and wrote towering works like The Origins of Totalitarianism. She was concerned with the human essence of events that we analyze as historical and political. Totalitarianism she described as “organized loneliness,” and loneliness as the “common ground for terror.” The historian, she said, always knows how vulnerable facts are. And thinking is not something for elites; it is the human power to keep possibility alive. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Lyndsey Stonebridge — Thinking and Friendship in Dark Times: Hannah Arendt for Now."

Psychotropic Substances: Stories about altered states

Written in tumultuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic, with huge ignorance about presidential narcissism and systemic racism in America, and corporate greed, income inequality and political-ideological polarization at its peak perhaps?  Seems like we need some fictional hero to swoop in and kick some ass.  Please. 
**********LYRICS:
Can we say we'll be all right tomorrow?
When I see so little hope today?

But I know some kind of Hero
Who's as swift as an arrow

He can lift all our weight away

But I haven't seen him since the Seventies
After Laverne & Shirley
He'd clean up this mess we're in
Ya - he'd see it with that eye of his

Six Billion Dollar Man, where are you?
Six Billion Dollar Man, we need you
Jaime's callin' you now...

Didn't mean for any of this to happen
It's a pandemic of greed and hate

And now someone comes along
He reminds us to be strong

And chases our cruelties away

Have you seen him since the Seventies
After Three's Company
A hand of steel, a heart of gold
More expensive now, what do you know!

Six Billion Dollar Man, where are you?
Six Billion Dollar Man, we need you
Jaime's callin' you now...

You saved millions with your hands
You're the Six Billion Dollar Man
Come rescue us - understand, we need you
Whoa where are you?
She's not hearin' you...

Caves are Cool

Six Billion Dollar Man

I write and perform stories. I tweet stupid funny things too. I also do standup sometimes. I also publish a newsletter and maintain an active calendar for the NYC storytelling community. Oh, and I have a storytelling podcast. For money I'm a freelance copywriter/content strategist/social media person.
