some of my opinions

Nell Freudenberger is the real deal; she will write things that will endure.
One should not rush to be made public.
Art that is risky and flawed is the most interesting.
Men who advertise on dating sites that they are only looking for women younger than them are insecure in a problematic way and to be avoided.
Ann Carson is a genius.
There are lots of people teaching who are bad teachers, just like there are lots of people parenting who are bad parents.
Charter schools are necessary; they up the ante.
Wisdom is more important to society than genius.
James Baldwin had wisdom.
Joan Didion has wisdom.
Women without female friends are suspect.
Intelligence often holds a converse relation to happiness.
Larissa Szporluk is one of the most interesting poets writing.
Cynthia Hopkins should be celebrated.
Fear of one's own misogyny or racism gives them more power.
Therapy is a necessary evil and a useful tool, but not a solution.
Humans need to be more in touch with water.
There is a ghost of a life unlived breathing next to every life;
I pay too much attention to it.
