🖖 America Isn’t Becoming the Borg — It’s Building a DIY Dictatorship Out of Star Trek’s Worst Empires
Romulan secrets. Cardassian cruelty. Ferengi capitalism on steroids. Resistance may not be futile, but it better show up soon. 🚨 Mild Nerd Warning: Yes, this article contains high concentrations of Star Trek.

Tech Support for the Soul: Coping in the Digital Age
By: Bishop Sara of Impudence and Sunshine There’s a special kind of shame that comes from realizing you’ve been doomscrolling for three hours and are now an expert on both 14th-century eel mating rituals and the latest congressional shutdown. We tell ourselves, “I’m just staying informed.” Lies. Doomscrolling is emotional junk food: it doesn’t fill […]
When Soldiers Show Up, Who Are They Really Protecting?
(Spoiler: Usually Not You.) Imagine this: You walk outside for groceries and there’s a tank parked in front of your local Starbucks.

Holy Mischief:
Coping Like a Chaotic Good Goblin Sure, you could cope with despair by binge-watching twelve seasons of emotionally vacant chefs yelling at each other while your eyeballs quietly turn to soup and your soul hibernates.

Yes, We Use AI. No, We’re Not Ignoring the Apocalypse.
Let me say this upfront:We know.We know AI is a hot mess of ethical nightmares, corporate greed, mass displacement, plagiarism masquerading as progress, surveillance capitalism, and unregulated techno-colonialism wrapped in a friendly chatbot.We know.

Late-Stage Capitalism Wants to Eat Your Soul
(and Charge You Interest): The Cult of Never Enough Greed. We’ve all been told it’s just a personal failing, the stuff of cartoon villains hoarding gold coins like Scrooge McDuck with a head injury. But let’s be real: greed isn’t just some asshole CEO’s personality quirk. It’s the operating system we’ve all been forced to […]
🔥 The World’s On Fire, But It’s Only The Beginning
(aka Why Watching Glenn Die Again Feels Healthier Than Reading the News) Let’s be honest: 2025 feels like a game of apocalypse bingo where every square is already crossed off. Climate collapse? Check. Democracy circling the drain? Check. A presidential rematch that literally no one except a handful of billionaires and lobbyists wants? Double check. […]
🦝✨ Drinking Milk Causes Pyromania:
Correlation ≠Causation (Even If the Raccoons Say So) Humans are walking myth machines. We are wired to seek story, to make meaning, to connect the cosmic dots into something—anything—that explains why our cat vomited at 3:17 a.m. the same day Mercury went retrograde. We crave order. But the universe? She’s more of a free-range […]
The End of the World Is Their Policy:
When Power Prefers Apocalypse There are two kinds of people who talk about the end of the world: Guess which group is increasingly in charge? This isn’t satire. It’s not a metaphor. And no, it’s not a Facebook meme from a guy named Randy who uses twelve American flags and a sword emoji to sign […]
🔥 Equal-Nox:
What the Equinox Can Teach You About Not Being a Jerk Twice a year, the universe pulls off a magic trick: it balances itself. Perfectly.
