the real deal, sie who slithers


I am the serpentinian proprietor: audacious dissident & vegan dandy, hear me hiss... I once was goth, but now am found. Does affinity for pendants make me pedantic? All that glitters is cold. Note: this site, especially some of the related pages linked below, has not been updated much since early 2000s, so I apologize for any outdated info.

Two long-term areas of focus for me have been:
1. Gender equality/diversity, Androgyny, Feminism	2. Animal compassion, Veganism, Floraphilia

Gender Outlaw link to GenDissent project from 2000	Planty for all link to page of my thoughts on veganism

I am also very interested in technology, communication, human diversity, anti-racism, compassion, the environment, progressive politics, cooperative relationships, health, education, balance, writing, surrealism/absurdity, clothing, making people think, dance - various kinds, clothing/costumery and contemporary art. And of course reptiles.

One important piece of my history is that I was goth, from age 17 through 22. It's not my current thing, but it helped me get through my formative years... Gothic - dark style of my youth
