Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.

There’s No Excuse for Harm

Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.
Humans hurt each other. It’s something that seems to be almost universal among us.
We hurt each other individually with our words and our actions, and we hurt each other in groups, with our systems and our societies and the way we build them.

Being A Religious Person (feat. TheJunieBird)

Hoo boy, this one makes me nervous!

Today I talk with my good friend Rachel Pierce (aka TheJunieBird on YouTube) about being a religious person. We're both religious (yes, me too, though I rarely talk about it here) and we just ... sort of dive into what that means, here on YouTube and in life in general.

Harry Potter and the Problem of the Chosen One (Writer Wednesday)

It's no secret that I dislike the trope of the Chosen One in fiction, particularly when it comes to fantasy. But Harry Potter is the Chosen One—or is he? We delve into this trope, why I don't like it, and why the Harry Potter series handles it brilliantly.

My Dad Passed Away

Hello Rebel
Yes, I shaved off my beard
No, I don’t think it looks good either
Yes, I regret it
No, I’m not staying clean-shaven
Yes, it’s growing back
Okay, beard aside. I want to talk about something that happened a couple of weeks ago, which is that my dad passed away.
