...family is far more clothed these days (save for my naked sister), but when I happen to see a nipple, I don’t flinch anymore. If it’s a naked sibling, I may consider joining in. Everyone has different levels of comfort with their body, and I am blessed that my upbringing cemented in me the ability to be comfortable in my own skin, in my own home, with my own people. If this is weird, I don’t want to be normal. My brain owes Eve a debt for eating the fruit...

Burdick’s hot chocolate is wonderfully thick and rich, in contrast to the insipid mixes of water and sugar that pass for cocoa at other establishments. Finally...
...world’s greatest ills is both unsatisfying and unconvincing. Gray’s outlook is bleak: peace and harmony are dreams we will never realize, and more wars of religion and utopia loom overhead as we outstrip the world’s available resources. Gray offers some comfort in his praise of science, an area constantly making new breakthroughs and rewriting human ignorance, but “Black Mass” ultimately fails to answer how realism will empower us. Gray’s advice to take up “stoical determination and intellectual detachment?...
