What if Elon Musk was in charge of your healthcare?

It’s not as farfetched as you might think. I’m willing to bet you would consider it more possible now than if I’d asked you this question six months ago.

I haven’t done one of these year-end round-ups before, but given 2022 marked the five year anniversary of the blog, it seemed a good year to start.

First, the top five most read blog posts of 2022 (as determined by Google analytics): 1. Is Resentment the Ugly Stepsister to Perfectionism?

Seven things I learned on Twitter, no matter what happens next

What Twitter has meant to me — I joined Twitter in September of 2019. A Gen-X holdout, it was my first foray into a social media platform.
