I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.

Factory farming, of course, does not cause all the world's problems, but is is remarkable just how many of them intersect there.

Whether we're talking about fish species, pigs, or some other eaten animal, is such suffering the most important thing in the world? Obviously not. But that's not the question. Is it more important that sushi, bacon, or chicken nuggets? That's the question.

The more exposure people have to the realities of factory farming, the more we will see people rejecting it. It's already happening.

My impression is that staying together as a couple does not correspond to the challenges themselves, but whether the very idea of breaking up is an option on the table. If it is, then some people take it. If it's not, then they will keep working at it. You must know people who were terribly suited who make it work. And there are couples who seem perfectly suited that break up. It's a mystery to everyone.

Everybody knows the competing identities of people who have kids.

Please be truthful, but also please be benevolent, please.
