Mid Life Virus

By a Jaded Gen X’er Who Still Remembers When Aliens Were Cool (Before They Became Government PowerPoint Slides) Look, kids, back in the day—I’m talking floppy disks, Nirvana on MTV, and The X-Files making Friday nights bearable—we Gen X’ers grew up on a steady diet of alien paranoia.

We stage screaming matches over skin-tone Pantone swatches while the actual monster chills in the back row eating popcorn: rotten character. You can’t catch racism like the flu. You choose it,…

Risk: The Price of Every ‘What If’ You’ve Ever Dreamed Every dream you’ve ever had comes with a toll booth.The sign doesn’t blink, doesn’t negotiate, doesn’t offer a discount for good intentions.
