“We tell ourselves our beliefs are persecuted despite being overrepresented in government, and this is especially tone-deaf when compared to the actual persecution and marginalization of people of color, women, and immigrants.”
Knox McCoy, The Wondering Years: How Pop Culture Helped Me Answer Life’s Biggest Questions
“Comfort is bondage; it promises faux relief. Discomfort and unfamiliarity are gifts that provide a type of freedom that bouys, broadens, and always benefits me in the long term.”
Knox McCoy, The Wondering Years: How Pop Culture Helped Me Answer Life’s Biggest Questions
“If you let your eight-year-old watch Game of Thrones, I'm not going to judge you. But just know that Moana or Frozen just won't have the same kind of giddy-up once they've seen Khaleesi in sexual congress with King of the North.”

“On All Dogs Go to Heaven:

Lastly, the heaven illustrated in the movie didn't seam much like the one being advertised during Big Church services. I mean, three was a whippet dog playing the role of Saint Peter, which is super dubious because I think if dogs uniformly had to elect a particular breed as the representative sample of goodness greeting them as the shuffled off their mortal coils (leashes?) and entered into eternity, it would probably go:

1) Golden Retriever: Might be more angelic than Saint Peter IMO
2) Labrador Retriever: The All-American, apple pie-sniffing dog next door.
3) Siberian Huskies: Those eyes tho.
4) Beagle: Scrappy, overachieving everydogs
5) German Shepherd: Would be higher but lost a ton of points thanks the unfortunate connection to the Big Bads of WW2.
6) Whippets: They look like they are either embarking upon or just recovering from an intense drug habit.
LAST PLACE: CORGIS: These dogs are probably the gatekeepers to hell*.

While cute, this dog is more useless than a urinal cake-flavored Popsicle. My parents have had two of these dogs and all they were good at was being emotional terrorists. Zero stars, would not recommend.

*I know Greek myth says it's Cerberus, a giant, three-headed dog, and it makes no mention of dog breed, but I can guarantee you that Cerberus must have had three large and stupid Corgi heads.”

“But as a savvy introvert, I can differentiate between someone wanting to connect over a truly great story and an extrovert just trying to vampire energy out of a random interaction.”
Knox McCoy, All Things Reconsidered: How Rethinking What We Know Helps Us Know What We Believe
“And that’s just how it goes: the Olds always think that the Younglings are just soft little candy babies who don’t really understand what it took to settle the frontier or walk the 362 miles to school in twenty-eight feet of snow.”
Knox McCoy, All Things Reconsidered: How Rethinking What We Know Helps Us Know What We Believe
“Too often, we make the pursuit of comfort out to be noble, and while that pursuit does have value, it's a mirage of a destination.”
