This is the tenth in a series of quick updates I’m preserving for my children, nieces, and nephews. We may have entered a new phase of collapse, but that doesn’t mean we stop fighting. For first-time readers, welcome to another dispatch from dystopia.

I’m writing these as a parent trying to protect my kids, tell the truth, and leave a record of what it felt like to live through this moment.

This dispatch is about grief, vigilance, and the quiet work of parenting when the world is not okay.

If you’re raising children right now and trying to make sense of it all, this series is for you.

Finally got around to updating Medium with my blog posts. Better late than never I guess.

I cover politics, climate activism, nature, and our current dystopian world. :earth:

🌊 Dispatch from Dystopia: 6 – To Surf, or Not to Surf 🌊

Growing up down the shore taught me more than how to swim in the Atlantic. It taught me how to read the waves, when to dive under, when to jump, and when to ride them all the way in. Those lessons have stayed with me, shaping how I face life’s currents today.

In my latest dispatch, I reflect on what it means to dive, float, or paddle hard into the unknown—and why we should never swim alone. It’s about risk, community, and the radical love that can carry us through choppy waters.

This is the fifth in a series of quick updates I’m preserving for my children, nieces, and nephews. We may have entered a new phase of collapse, but that doesn’t mean we stop fighting.

Wednesday, September 17, 2025. Well, things are certainly progressing. After a long day, I figured I’d write a dispatch to unwind and process today’s news. I’m sitting down with a tall glass of ice water after cleaning in the kitchen. The soft LED lamp spreads an amber glow on the arms of the leather couch. It’s after 10:00 PM, and the kids are finally asleep for the night. The hum of the dishwasher keeps me company as I type. I hope this dispatch will explain some of my annoyance when they came downstairs after bedtime.

You reap what you sow. This country is spiraling. Violence is baked into our society, and it’s terrifying.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a gruesome act of political violence. His brand of “civil discourse” routinely advocated systemic violence against others, and he has been consumed by the flames he stoked.
