I am having a difficult time with that organization because it was to be secular and political but it is in effect Christian and charitable. Those are very different things. People do not believe me, but they are. “We are pursuing the same goals.” Are we? They are fundraising to help people, and they are … More Gap
This group is a non-profit but it depends upon the work of one member who thinks of that work as a way to live. They would like salary, and they have referred to us as a business. They are already getting reimbursed for mileage at the IRS business, not charity rate because they wanted to … More Why
How many countries have you spent Christmas in, besides the United States? I am thinking of this. Let me try to see: Spain (once), Denmark (once), Morocco (once), Mexico (once), Brazil (three times), Guatemala (once), and Chile (once). I think this is all. Axé.
It was in 1964 that the Supreme Court of the United States ruled to allow prisoners to sue on prison conditions.

I have some unfashionable views about gender, which I do not believe is entirely performative or entirely about identification. As a woman I cannot just say I want to be seen as a man and be seen as one. It’s very difficult to do and not all of those who try, succeed. I am still … More About passing, things you can’t say
Pronouns: I have a gender neutral name for a reason, suckaz, and I resent this question. I am, however, a woman, and I have never doubted it. People who see or know me say she/her. When people don’t see or know me, and assume I may be he/him, I like it. Who doesn’t enjoy changing … More Signature line
This is an important little piece to read. And I want this book Global Raciality, but not at its price. I wish we had a library, and that it kept up with things.
