Hello, I’m Dr Wally.
I believe humanity is one of the universe’s most fascinating experiments — and it’s up to us whether it continues.
I post reminders that we’re all in this together. #HumanTogether

Super relieved the grants are back.
Super unexcited that cruelty was treated as a reversible policy choice.
People’s care shouldn’t depend on whether outrage reaches critical mass.

I don’t know anything about this man or this case, but I have had leadership training alongside university c-suite types and I think these must be the suckiest jobs possible. Was on that track once, but saw the light and said, “No Thanks!”

Nice, provocative piece. Universities matter not because they’re profitable, but because they’re protective of truth, inquiry, and our capacity to disagree without fear. That’s democracy work.

If Ashli Babbitt was a victim but Renee Nicole Good “deserved it,” then your views on state violence aren’t moral, they’re partisan.

Censoring Plato in a philosophy class is like banning gravity in physics.
This is what higher ed looks like when the goal is idealogical comfort instead of critical thinking.

Texas A&M Bans Plato Excerpt From a Philosophy Course
Martin Peterson wasn’t surprised when he had to excise two units on race and gender ideology from a philosophy course. What did shock him was that the ban included readings from Plato’s “Symposium.”

For me, Dry January isn’t about abstinence as virtue.
It’s about awareness.
Any practice that helps you better understand your relationship with something that shapes your mood, sleep, health, or connection is probably worth trying. This is my third year “checking-in” with myself.

I’ve never been very drawn to New Year’s resolutions.
What matters more to me is leaning into the values I’ve been cultivating for years: care, curiosity, responsibility, showing up with integrity even when it’s inconvenient.
Growth isn’t necessarily a reset. It’s a continuation.
