chapter 2 summoning the orcas
I never really figured out what the purpose of money was or what it was for, but I knew my parent had spent so much time trying to make sure we had a roof over our heads, shuffling us back and forth to scouting events and little league sports, keep enough food in the house,…

being against abortion is supporting the patriacrchy by being against male accountability
Now I am <gestures to himself broadly> a cis male. I was born this way. This is the total of all of my privileges, and I use them to disrupt the powers that are present at every opportunity. This has ruined a lot of the quality of my life, especially when I am outspoken about…

Chapter 1 The Wall
Weights and measurements, the dark algebra, and becoming a man at nine. The best part about fourth grade was getting a whole part of the school to ourselves. Having a younger brother in the same school was always bad enough because every time the teachers found their wits end they somehow managed to find me.…

tchotch·ke or bric-à-brac
06/25/24 [UPDATED 08/01/24] I have had to access some deep stuff for school. Years I locked away as safe and in doing so I thought them in no need of further inspection. I took them out like fine porcelain and laid them out to admire and display, to show off the peak of my childhood…

Rules for Life in an plural zone -or- anyone subject to multiversal travel
RULE 1. DON’T PANIC! Things will not always go as planned. This is not only to be expected but should be planned for as well. For many lifeforms born in plural zones it is better to have a general idea of what you would like to have happen and no actual idea how it could…

observations, Comedic (question mark.) –or– the only way to swallow a bowling ball is teeth first
A wise woman once told me : the purpose of our words is not to win but to be understood, anyone that tells you differently is trying to sell you something. If any of the following offends, I understand, but I don’t care. I worry when people cry, “Don’t be woke.” At the very least,…

as a matter of health
You have to feel the stuff you are putting off. its gonna happen. My granny used to say you never don’t cry, you just cry latter. Now might not be the best time. (of course if you want to stop reading and come back after a good cry- I understand!) The important thing is to…

what I know about love
It was explained rather poetically once as a child that the entire universe; every cell, atom, quark, and molecule was at one point in the same place. Love is the memory of being whole, of being one. This singular concepts defies literally every other principle of physics humans have every discovered since the realized that…

Security of Adventure
I am seeking the kind of security that can only be found after really good adventures. The confidence and safety that comes from testing yourself against the world and coming out alive; to know the strength of your hands because you have held onto a chaotic and wild life until your knuckles ached and your…

New look, same lack of taste
Life is complicated and messy. putting back together in any coherent enough to sense to make a narrative worth selling require time, quite a lot of therapy, and the sort of depression that used to me called dysthymia, now its just Persistent Depressive Disorder – as usual being remarkably accurate but unsexy. It is only…
