“Funny, useful conversations to make our little world suck less.” Look, humaning is hard. But here’s the secret: It’s hard for everyone. It’s not just you. No matter your age, income, BMI, or social status… There are days/weeks/years when it takes everything we’ve got not to pull into the Quickie Mart and start vaping Twinkies. Welcome to the club. Hope for Humans offers tools to help avoid “life without parole,” maintain some level of sanity, and perhaps even add joy to our lives.
