This blog is a creative writing outlet for me. Generally speaking, I wish to write about my ideas on politics, philosophy, art, absurdity, corporate hijinks, gender diversity, vegetarian/vegan-ism and saving the world before bedtime. I live in a capitalist republic (i.e., competition-based “representative” democracy) that has constrictive social roles and I’m not exactly thrilled about it, but I do find a lot of humor in it and haven’t so far seen viable large-scale alternatives. I think criticism is healthy and necessary (it’s how we grow), but kindness is very important as well (hurting people with violence, theft or denial of basic human opportunities is bad, no good and downright mean).If you’re intellectually curious, artsy, animal-friendly, genderqueer, open-minded or politically apolitical, you should find some interesting posts here. If, on the other hand, you’re heavily invested in the status quo (gender roles, political conservatism, etc.) , you will probably be annoyed and should look elsewhere.

Deliberate misspellings – in some cases, I may choose to spell certain words in non-traditional ways in order to avoid spiders (some web search programs look for keywords and I don’t necessarily want to be on all lists), but generally speaking, I do use spellcheck.

*I had to turn off comments for the time being – too much spam (email me if you have some good thoughts).
