It was another day at the office, in the Year of Our Lord 2012, yet another day where the universe seemed to conspire against me. My inbox overflowed with social media updates and inconsequential emails. The news app on my smartphone was a carousel of doom and gloom. Rocking back and forth in my cheap…

I may be no economistBut we’ve all gone brokeEverything’s gone amissMurder is all she wroteToo many slashing wristsSex is the only antidoteDrenched in carnal bliss Think I’ll go for a swimIn your ocean I’m gonna soakMy little savior in satinWhat have I done to evokeYour succulent candy kissWhen you stroll on inNothing’s as good as…

A society that normalizes bullying is no society at all. Yet in our grand age of progress, we’ve apparently decided that bullying suddenly isn’t that big of a problem.
