Breaking Away: The Secret Secession of American Cities

I have El Paso on my mind. I think we all do. A small city, barely 600,000 in population, snugged up against the US/Mexican border. One fact jumped out at me when I googled it today. Wikipedia speaks of El Paso as one of three cities intertwined in a tight and deeply...

Touch Me – The Endangered Species of Intimacy

Gen Z and the Death of Pretty

Roughly 4,953 years ago, my fourteen-year-old self stood staring into a full-length mirror, wide eyed and mildly sweaty. I was minutes away from heading off to my first ‘real’ party and I was a wreck. The issue?? What should I wear to make me look pretty? I had tried...
