How can the next President of the United States improve education in America?
I’ve been considering submitting this title as a keynote session at the next AERO Conference (Alternative Education Resource Organization, Jim) – but it’s not much of a keynote if the intention of the event is instead to ask an audience of youth to answer the question. The word “How” is chosen specifically instead of the…
Read MoreFeeling Safe in America
After reflecting on what I prepared for this past weekend’s event in Florida, I realized that there was an underlying theme of “safety in our country” tying together the major subjects that I chose to talk about; namely, involuntary psychiatric intervention, slavery, abortion, and climate change. Why would anyone think that “feeling safe” is worth…
Read MoreAnger
Are we allowed to express anger? At all? As humans? I sure as fuck feel angry right now, yet, just the inclusion of the word “fuck” discredits. I could take the time when I’m calm to edit. I’ve done that before. [or just coincidentally publish what can’t help but feel something during a time of…
Read MoreThe difference between who I am and who you think I am
The title of this article makes me feel worried that it’s about to sound like Eminem’s lyrics “I am whatever you say I am / if I wasn’t, then when would you say I am” and I also just revealed that I wrote the title before composing the essay or article or — here we…

Read MoreHow can I figure out what year each and every person within these United States is living in right now if I don’t even know my actual name?
This may be the weirdest conspiracy theory perpetuated, but, let’s hope by the end of writing this thing that we can figure out if it’s bullshit or not. The question at hand is simple: “what year is it?” The inspiration could be many things, but let’s give credit to a passage from a John Steinbeck…
Read MoreThe Art of Theoretical Physics
OK, let’s start. Why are you even here, right now? Because of physics, theoretical or not, or art – or ? Not? What if we go one by one and ask everyone? What if? Theoretically. Is that Theoretical or “theoretically”? Theoretically, you may have already taken this class. Class, nigga? Today’s lesson, let’s all say…

How to Clown the Fuck Out of the Connecticut Mental Health System in Seven Simple Days by Jim Flannerys First and foremost, thank you to all those who called and wrote in support of the real Jim Flannery while we were all entangled in Connecticut’s state mental health laws. Well, we made it out, my…
Read MoreLEAVE SCHOOL – Chapter 8 – Pseudo-Success Stories
Since LEAVE SCHOOL: what teachers can’t tell you was finally published to print (Amazon / Barnes and Noble), I thought it was worth publishing my favorite chapter from the book, which shares four stories of teen-initiated zero-tuition self-directed learning centers. If there is a brick in the wall that this book contributes to the working…
Read MoreThe Truth Injection
As may be evident since the release of Sorry It’s Not Funny, I’ve been reposting a lot of lost work over the last couple weeks… most of it comedy-related. One project I’ve been working to re-release is The Truth Injection, a video series featuring famous artists speaking out about issues related to those in the…
