Preface About Whats To Come...

My ever-present anxiety and my newly developing depression has resulted, lately, in a crazy media intake. I'm talking hours upon hours of nothing but show bingeing, reading (magazines, books, online articles), Twitter, Instagram, cable news, listening to podcasts and NPR One and Audiobooks - all I've been doing is consuming written and recorded content. 

And in an effort to balance my intake and output I need to write and inform you about my intense feelings about specific pieces of this crazily consumed content.\

I am now about to binge on reviews, thoughts, recommendations and random rants about the stuff that my brain is trying to wrap itself around. Because if there is one thing that I am certain about in 2017 it's that we need to keep thinking. We need our brains more than anything, we need deep thought, difficult conversations and to wrestle with our roles and the ideas that drive our country.

Stay tuned. I am about to blow this site up with all of the things that have been working out my mind; some of this content is keeping me informed, some of it is keeping me sane and some of it is even giving me much needed hope. Please share it, please mull over the ideas and please read (if not this stuff than other stuff), support independent journalism, buy newspapers and don't get your media content from just one place. Democracy is what happened between elections and civilians need to keep themselves armed with relevant, helpful, diverse content.
