Plenty of ink has been spilled bemoaning the lack of civility in public discourse. Partisan fighting, discord, dehumanization, and just plain ugliness.

I mean, nobody likes the #strugglebus. It’s always too hot or too cold, the seats are cracked, and the air has a vague smell of wet socks. No seat belts and either too many people or awkwardly few people. In short, it feels uncomfortable and vulnerable. But the great thing about the struggle bus is […]

Blind spots. We all have them. Blind spots are real, and they can hurt us and others. When someone is willing to point them out with care, keep that person close. He is a true friend, a godsend in your world. She will refine and polish you, making you sharper and brighter for it. Hold […]
