A transient conversation in Pennsylvania
A concert in Charlotte
A tattoo appointment in Raleigh
A reunion in Virginia Beach
And 28 hours spent alone in the car, sifting and sorting through thoughts without interruption.
Much needed chaos and stillness amidst a struggle to adjust. Coming home from Kuwait has been more challenging than I expected, even with a history of departures and homecomings.
I’m still figuring out what “back to normal” is supposed to look like. Or what that even means.
But today, I’m grateful for the restorative nature of long silences and enduring, open roads.
With hair turning silver,
a back injury,
and existential exhaustion,
I thought I was supposed to have one more year of my so-called “youth”,
but life seems intent on expediting my age-related ailments.
On a (slightly) less dramatic note,
this last year has been a weird whirlwind—
tremendous highs and lows that I’ll save for another time.
What I can say for certain right now is that I’ve met some of the most incredible people and made lifelong friendships over the last six months out here in the desert, halfway across the world from home.
And for that, I am eternally grateful.
And in just a few days’ time, I’ll be home—
reunited with my porch,
my loved ones,
the changing foliage,
and the crisp autumn air.
I’ll be be seeing you soon, Buffalo.
Cheers to another turn around the sun.
And you will tell me—“Independence.”
You speak of freedoms like smoke,
Vanishing in the air,
Shrinking in the shadow
Of your immigrant neighbor,
Your daughter,
Your silence.
You’ll answer, “The founding of America,”
As democracy coughs up copper blood,
Lungs collapsed beneath the weight
Of steel-toed boots—
An empire choking on its own Constitution,
Hollowing the branches
Of Liberty’s tree,
Roots rotting
From greed and deceit.
I will ask you what we’re celebrating today.
And you will say—“Our country.”
But what is this country to you?
Surely not the mother
Counting bills as her water shuts off.
Not the farmer losing soil,
Losing sleep,
Losing the land his grandfather tended to
With hardened, calloused hands.
You do not mean the countrymen—
You cannot.
Not when you leave half of them
Outside your prayers,
Outside your policies,
And outside your pity.
Surely it’s not the land you speak of—
Stripped,
Sold,
Bled dry by hands that reap
Without ever having sown.
Logging, fracking,
Drilling until silence replaces song,
Until “America the Beautiful”
Is just a memory
In the ash.
Surely it’s not the founding ideals—
Not liberty.
Not justice.
Not life, not happiness.
Not a government by the people,
For the people.
We have strayed from—
No, we have abandoned—
Those principles.
Stealing from the poor to feed the machine.
Closing borders,
Stripping citizenship,
Calling dissent treason.
I will ask again what you’re celebrating today.
And again you’ll say—“Independence.”
But you mean yours.
You do not wish it for all.
You’ll say—“The founding.”
But you’ve never studied the roots.
You’ll say—“Our country.”
But you mean only the mirror,
Only your reflection,
Red, white, and warped.
You’ve reshaped patriotism—
From love of a people
To a love of self.
And from the cry of the many
To the comfort of one.
It is Liberty and Justice for all,
Or it is Liberty and Justice for none.
Those people have missed the plot.
—————————
It’s June, and I should be in a hammock,
Under a canopy of leaves reading Foucault,
Watching the gentle ripples fold into the dirt banks of Hoyt Lake—
But instead I am here, bracing for a threat that may be imminent,
Or may never come.
It’s summer now, and my feed should be filling with seasonal joys:
Barbecues, boat rides, weekend trails through mountain air—
But the headlines have drowned them out.
There are too many to name,
And every day feels heavier than the last.
What once felt manageable now crawls beneath my skin—
Like the steady buzz of a fraying wire.
And I’m just waiting to catch fire.
I miss the color green.
I miss the softness of moss and rainfall.
Here in the desert, everything feels scorched.
And now the public lands are being sold off like heirlooms at a pawn shop.
And somehow
Somehow
This is the least devastating thing I’ve read all week.
Somewhere, an ocean warms past the point of return.
Somewhere, a border closes on another family seeking refuge
Somewhere, a law is signed that strips away another right.
Somewhere, bombs fall on children
And the world watches, numbed by the scroll of it all.
So much crumbles at once,
And I can do so little to stop it.
I watch the fall of democracy at home from across the ocean and what can be done?
I think of Camus:
how he said revolt is the only meaning we can forge
in a world that feels absurd.
And here I am, hammering the keyboard
as if this will take away the weight of it all
I scream into the digital void
Because the act of shaping the dread into words feels like both surrender and resistance.
They will let the world burn,
And I will not watch in silence.
Along with the proclamation that true democracy is not compatible with capitalism.
Another one for pride month because I’m sad I missed it this year, and I’m sad that these signs and photographs from last year’s Buffalo pride are still relevant and more urgent than ever.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
This Memorial Day, I want to honor the fallen not just by remembering their sacrifice, but by condemning those who send the children of working-class families to fight and die for pipelines, profit margins, and geopolitical power plays. The horrors of war are never known by those who declare it. The ones who pull the strings stay clean, while our service members pay the ultimate price—for a debt that was never theirs to begin with.
Their sacrifice wasn’t meaningless, but far too often the cause was senseless. Wrapped in flags and slogans, while the same powerful few reap the spoils of war from boardrooms and think tanks. These were kids with debt, with dreams, with no trust fund to fall back on. And when the war ends, it’s not the architects who carry the grief—it’s the mothers, the communities, and the comrades who made it home with pieces missing.
So if we truly want to honor the dead, we must do more than BBQ, indulge in weekend sales, and offer “thoughts and prayers”. We must reckon with a system that turns working-class lives into cannon fodder for capital. Let memory be a mirror and a mandate: never again, not like this. No more blood for empire. No more futures sacrificed for fortunes not their own.
Climate change is weighing heavy on me this week, in the wake of the LA fires raging on. The heaviest part of this for me is the lack of urgency and belief that still plagues us, from the highest level of leadership to the people who disproportionately suffer the most from the consequences of climate change.
At every turn, we keep choosing wrong.
Climate change deniers, and the wicked who manipulate the ignorant/uneducated to plant conspiracy, are worming their way into positions of devastating impact, sowing more doubt and redirecting blame.
All I can say is, please take education seriously. It doesn’t have to be within an institution, you don’t have to pay for it, but if your main “educational” resources are 2 minute long Tik Tok conspiracy videos, please start taking the time to read the research and hear what scientists, professionals, and academics have to say; people have poured decades of their life into studying, researching, and understanding these subjects.
I promise you, they aren’t all “bought and/or silenced”.
