Onus

January 20, 2021January 21, 2021 by GrayMatters

I’ve been at this a long time, and looking back, most of the posts I make in this blog come down to responsibility and choice. Our right and freedom to choose, our responsibilities with respect to those rights and freedoms, and the rights and freedoms of others. After all, our rights and freedoms are the …

Hate Is Ugly

August 3, 2020November 7, 2020 by GrayMatters

We Americans are proud of some ugly traits, but in my humble opinion, being proud of our hate is top three. It might even beat being proud of our ignorance. Our pride is foolish. I’m not proud of much. I’m not even proud to be a resister. What’s to be proud of? It’s literally the …

Hysteria, My Ass

May 21, 2019August 10, 2020 by GrayMatters

To all of you who said we were hysterical about Trump: fuck you. To all of you who said we were hysterical about the continuous and ongoing attacks on the Affordable Care Act: fuck you. To all of you who said we were hysterical about Kavanaugh’s appointment: fuck you. If outlawing abortion was about protecting …

Do not ask me why not. Ask yourself “why?” Think.

Remembering 11 September 2001

September 11, 2018 by GrayMatters

I’ve been quiet lately, taking massive amounts of information in, calling my Senators, listening, reading. . . but today I will take some time to stop worrying about the future and let this day be about remembering who and what we lost all those years ago. Today is not to dwell on conspiracies and lies …

Can’t Even

June 14, 2018June 15, 2018 by GrayMatters

I despise that phrase: “I can’t even.” Surely, we can think of something else, some better way, to get that idea across? Then this past week or so happens. Since my son’s wedding at the end of May, things have been non-stop. I’m having a harder time than usual processing it all. Each time I …

Do What You Can

April 16, 2018June 27, 2018 by GrayMatters

A couple of years or so into a new age in America, and I’m still starting almost completely over every day. It’s not just that the mistakes, scandals, and decline are so fast, but that even two years in I don’t recognize my country. Or myself. The phrase “crash and burn” keeps coming to mind …

Facts Matter

April 11, 2018April 13, 2018 by GrayMatters

As I’m watching members of the Senate, people who clearly know nothing about Facebook, asking Mark Zuckerberg questions he couldn’t possibly answer honestly without a lot more information, I think back to how this started: information about FB users somehow got away from Facebook. It was supposedly information users consented to share via an app, …

Word of the Day: Intersectionality

April 4, 2018April 27, 2018 by GrayMatters

I’ve been friends with a lot of vegetarians (and some vegans) over the course of my life. They all have different reasons and different ideas of what it means, but there was one that baffled me. My vegetarian friend suggests my son and I stay for dinner and tells me she is fixing a salmon …

Self-Evident, My Ass

March 14, 2018May 8, 2018 by GrayMatters

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But do we? hold these truths to be self-evident, I mean? I don’t think we do. We think we do …
