She/Her. Author, cook, audiobook narrator. I did learn history, but now I have to watch other people repeat it. I might as well do it with a sense of humor and the emotional equivalent of a toddler wearing a big puffy parka.
I wish the majority of humanity didn't embrace shooting themselves and others literally and metaphorically and then cherishing spiritual, intellectual and physical gangrene as fashion and a political statement
But here we are.
But here we are.

I was raised in many ways with the methods of ancient ancestors: Chickens, wood fires and gardens.
What did I learn? I'm very good at making and maintaining a fire, but my favorite part? Now I have air conditioning.
My ancestors would have loved air conditioning if they had a choice.

Choosing the middle is math, not smart political theory. In an ill society, the right thing is radical.
Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

I have compassion for those trapped in the worst their nature and nurture have to offer. I appreciate the inevitability of the horrors of entropy. Still...try not to be the reason worse comes to worst.

For those in constant pain, it is okay that you are not okay. You don't have to be inspiring or a spokesperson for positive change. You deserve respect and dignity in your struggle.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to adapt to my dreams. How do I go from "Every time we go to China there are 50 foot dinosaurs rampaging, why do we keep doing this?!" To 'what's for breakfast?'
