This is me. I was born in 1969 in Muskoka, now living in the rural Sonoran desert.

Artist, tattooer. Haven't watched tv since 1985 or a mainstream Hollywood movie since 2004.

Not into sportyball or celebrity. Biga baker, swimmer, jazzbo.

Community on Wheels and Habitat for Humanity volunteer.

molly is a mother her only regret is that she wished she'd done it sooner so that she would have an extra 15 years with her kid

do they:

raise money for anyone other themselves at their rallies?

promote local mutual aid groups?

encourage volunteering with progressive community groups and give organizers of those groups time on stage with them?

nope.

fuck 'em.

It was a cute boy in 1984. He wore a parka with a Jam patch and while I cannot recall his name -- southern Ontario, so it was either Dave, Gord, or Jody -- I'm still listening to Paul Weller.

perhaps she genuinely likes us...perhaps she had ulterior motives
