Humankind is a product of nature, and thus we are beholden to nature. Despite living in a world of caller-ID and screening-calls, when Nature calls we must answer. And that answer happens the same, every time. We use the toilet; a toilet that is has a pretty universally recognized shape and function. Everybody uses this apparatus multiple times a day, and so we must all be exceptionally well-versed in the operation of these simple artifices. But then why are they always labeled with warnings and remonstrations? Who keeps breaking the toilets? Hop a squat with Mat and Veronique as we struggle to decide what to flush down the toilet in loo of That Bathroom Sign!

We mark a new year on the calendar. Like a barbarian whipping a flail around its chain, so too does the Earth whip around the sun to clobber us with the passage of time. And time, like the orbital momentums we attribute it to, can be cyclical. While its nice to take the New Year as an exercise in imagining a future unwritten, sometimes our propulsion is backward. It is one thing to reminisce about the olden days, and quite another to reforge erstwhile Reichs. How can we steer toward hope, when our captain’s compass only points to hate? Mutiny? Find your direction with Mat and Veronique as we drown out the Year of our King, 2025!

The post 2025 appeared first on Mat Labotka.

There is something deeply elemental about doors. Something lurks in our minds, possibly from our days living in caves, that profoundly impacts the way humankind’s subconscious reacts to doorways. ‘Opening Doors’ is metaphorically equivalent to obtaining opportunities. What prizes await behind Door Number Two? ‘Making an Entrance’ is to become the center of attention. As a matter of fact, the word ‘Entrance’ means both ‘Doorway’ and ‘Fill with wonder.’ So let’s take a moment to admire this doorway before we move through it. Except, there are people behind us. And there are folks coming the other way that need to use the door. Have you ever entered a room and forgotten why you entered in the first place? Cross the threshold with Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Chauncy Thomas – as we forget to even step into the room and instead, blissfully entertain in the space between two places, like a clog in the toilet, we stand Blocking Passageways!
