Do good. Give heck.

So, about that silence.

It’s been a rough time on the truth and love front. I plan to write more once I get my practice caught up to my theory; in the interim, I refer interested readers to my sources / references / inspirations page, for truth and love people doing amazing work. (New Josh Johnson set tonight.)

I’ve also been experimenting more with audio instead, recording long personal / political / philosophical digressions. Maybe eventually I’ll do something with those. If nothing else, the series could be a fun audio capsule for a post-apocalyptic researcher.

I’ve been thinking about disability and death a lot, as the fascists roll in and I see most everyone around me individually lose their shit. Part of the practice I want to build is spending more of my time helping people. Cheering them on personally. Giving them healthy leftovers, gifting them books. Encouraging them to assert their needs in various contexts. Helping them hone their arguments, that’s for fucking sure.

Blame for all of this lies with the powerful, not with the individual crushed by the system. But the solution lies in community, and that’s where my own rhetoric and practice haven’t been matching.

I’m working on it.
