In 2015, my ex-wife wanted to get back together with me (in spite of her being remarried and me being with Kimberly for two plus years) and every single part of me knew it was a bad idea except the tiny, very tiny part of me that wanted to if only to show her how much better I've gotten at sex.

I forgot that I hadn't finished the latest season of Bojack Horseman, so it's been fun watching 'new' episodes over my lunch hour.

I'm shying away from hard and fast resolutions this year but am hoping to travel to at least two new places (via plane) and also to get more educated on so very many things.  I firmly believe that so much hatred and discrimination is founded in ignorance.  I lean way, way to the left on most issues but most of the media I consume is pretty white and pretty hetero and pretty male.  I'm in a pretty comfy bubble related to a lot of social issues.  Meanwhile, life's about to get (and continue to get) shittier and shittier for a lot of people who aren't me.  The more educated I can become (and the more listening and believe I can do about these situations), the better place I'll be in to call shit out and try to make shit better.

I also want to be able to consistenly beat my dad at ping pong.  Dude's still got moves.

Have you ever done the Implicit Bias Test? It's a good thing to point people toward to nudge them out of their bubbles and help them understand that racism is structural, not about the n-word or outright saying that black people aren't as good as white people.

Yes! Thank for posting the link - I'd taken it before but didn't save the URL.

I just retook and "Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American children compared to African American children."

I need to face what I need to change.
