2024/06/27

When you stop to think about it, eyebrows are pretty dang weird. On our otherwise smooth upper faces, we’ve got these two strips of hair that sit above our eyeballs.

Sunday Firesides: More Human, More Alive, More Immortal

The Art of Manliness ·

2024/06/23

Human. Alive. Immortal. We think of these as set, binary states. Things you either are or aren’t. You’re either human or nonhuman. Dead or alive. Mortal or immortal. But in truth, these states exist on a continuum, the ends of which you are always moving towards or away from. If humanness is defined by those […] Help support independent publishing.

In late midlife, a man tends to look back on the preceding decades, assess the standing of his health, relationships, professional achievements, and experiences, and determine whether or not his life has been a success. But the timeline used in this assessment should be significantly longer — extending much farther back and far further forward. […]Help support independent publishing.
