He told me that his wife was backing out of the garage. The mirror on the passenger side got caught on the garage door frame. In being pulled back, the passenger side window exploded into pieces. He said his wife came in the house more scared of him, than upset about the window. He was miffed by that. He saw it as a negative reflection on himself by her and that it was undeserved.

The opioid epidemic has continued to make a devastating impact across the United States. In 2010, officials reported 21,088 opioid related deaths. By 2018, this number had risen to 46,802. The next four years saw an even larger increase, with 68,630 opioid related deaths reported in 2022. Despite public conversation and consistent news coverage of the individuals affected by the opioid epidemic, there remains a large segment of society that is often overlooked: children and youth in foster care.

He loved skating and playing hockey. He wanted it for his son too. By the age four the lad had his second pair of skates, a stick and pads. He was an awkward, kind of clumsy boy. His ankles spent more time on the ice than his blades. His father pursued. Sure, there were the tantrums, throw downs, running away. The lad was less than interested. Remarkably though, the boy had well-developed fine motor skills.

Mike Mather is the founder of the Dharmaholic newsletter and community, and this bird is their mascot. Q: Can you tell me about your childhood?

I was the only daughter of a single mother, a political refugee from Poland, and a Mexican father that I didn’t know. I locked and relocked the front door, then picked up the landline to make sure there was a dial tone, then looked out the back window to see if there was a car in the alley.

There are also different phases of the moon. All of creation is built on a spectrum, not a binary. So too of gender and sexual orientation. The myth is that there is a binary with regard to sexual orientation and gender when there is not.
