I’m guilty of misunderstanding empathy…thinking I’m being all noble by putting myself in somebody else’s shoes. But there’s a problem…it’s me bringing myself into somebody else’s experience. Ain’t nobody ask me to imagine what I’d do or how I’d feel in their circumstances. I’ve found empathy ain’t really about imagining what I’d do in their situation. It’s more about being curious enough to understand their point of view. Empathy asks me to recognize another person’s experience. Ego tempts me to make that experience about me. So I had to learn to set aside my lil perspective long enough to understand and consider theirs. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers 09 Nov 2026 JUST ANNOUNCED!

As if suffering in silence deserves some kind of trophy. Sharing our struggles doesn’t just help other folx feel less alone. It reminds us that we ain’t alone either. Some of the most painful experiences are a source of connection. Soooo… maybe the strongest folx aren’t those who need no one, but those who are secure enough to admit they do. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers 30 Oct 2026 Time ain’t promised, life is weird, and none of us are getting out of here alive. So be kind, give a damn, show up for your people, and make strangers feel a little less like strangers. We’re all just passing through…might as well make it mean something. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers 28 Oct 2026 Loss sucks. Grief ain’t just about what we had, but also the future we imagined. And maybe that’s the paradox of loving anyone or anything: the very thing that makes life beautiful also makes us vulnerable to pain. From the time I met Ken and he sat down he was a cool dude with a youthful and wise disposition. It made me think about how the people we lose continue to live through us. In our values, our kindness, our humor, and the way we treat others. Maybe part of transforming grief into purpose is recognizing that while someone’s life may end, their influence doesn’t have to. Death may end a life, but it doesn’t necessarily end a person’s presence in the world. Sometimes that presence simply takes a different form. I would have liked to meet Ken’s Father. Perhaps in some way, this conversation allowed me to. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers 26 Oct 2026 I’ve done it…meet somebody and immediately decide I don’t like em. Sometimes that’s intuition. Sometimes that’s my brain recognizing personality traits from somebody who hurt me in 2014 and deciding, “Oh hell nah, we’re ain’t doing this again.” The problem? This person hasn’t actually done anything to me. I’m allowing a moldy experience with someone in the past to impact folx that have nothing to do with said experience. It’s worked a couple times in helping me dodge bullets but I can easily mistake familiarity for danger and call it intuition. Thanx for thinking with me. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers #judgement #judgingothers #judgy #thinkwithme 23 Oct 2026 Bringing joy to others is an amazing feeling when done the right way. It gets real tho…when I lose sight of my own happiness in the process…especially if it’s directly connected to my self worth and validation. It can happen when I don’t even know it…with friends, family, romantic relationships. What’s obvious but not easy is the idea that with a balanced focus on my own happiness I can be of better service to Folx around me. Now…to be clear I ain’t at all claiming expertise here. Just expressing my thoughts from experience after chatting with Monisha. Feel free to join the convo in the comments. #realconversations #staycurious #curiosity #nobodyisalone #conversationswithstrangers #happiness 21 Oct 2026 We’ve gotten really good at thinking we know about people we’ve never actually talked to. So I decided to do something radical. Actually talk to them. No debates. No gotcha questions. No agendas. Just curiosity. Introducing ‘Conversations With Strangers’ Coming soon. Pull up a seat. #conversationswithstrangers #humanconnection #curiosity #staycurious #realconversations 19 Oct 2026 We investigated what’s really going on with Flock. In Texas, the city of Pflugerville thought they were sharing data with 83 agencies. It turns out 459 had access. We found libertarians, conservatives, liberals and leftists fighting surveillance together.

Well…Texas got somn to say bout that…at least the Bible part. The lone star state is pretty much moving Bible-centered material into public elementary classrooms via state guidance/incentives, which can make the Bible feel like required learning content rather than just “something people may mention” in culture. This ain’t a knock on Christianity as a faith; it’s about the tension created when a public school frames one religious text as a curriculum centerpiece. This is where cognitive dissonance enters the chat. People want to believe “we’re not pushing beliefs,” while also endorsing a structure that, even if unintentionally, guides students toward treating one faith message as the default. To alleviate discomfort, supporters will mentally re-label the activity as “education” or “culture/history,” even though the lived classroom effect is belief-shaping for impressionable students.

The vouchers were sold as helping poor kids, but the money is going to rich families and private schools, while public schools close and suffer.
