The bubble we inhabit...which in certain respects exists to blot out the rest of reality...and within which a specific, pre-existing, oxygenated atmosphere obtains with floating, ready-made opinions and irrefutable assumptions...I call it the conventional mindset....If you've ever had a thought waiting to get shot down, not just about a new book to read or a vacation destination...a hobby besides yoga or pilates... an avocation not involving sports or social media... if you resist gadgetry and make your own clothing....it's quite easy to fall outside the mainstream...No Nascar, no trendy tattoos, no talk radio for you or conversely, no feel-good progressive political rallies, no hyper-indulgent parenting, no obsession with shabby chic-styled health and fashion,
