my actual problem with relationship anarchy

Hello–how are you doing, reader?  I wrote that post about relationship anarchy the other day and worked hard to state my problem with it.  I came up with a few ideas: relationship anarchy doesn’t recognize my family.  It’s used as an excuse not to be there for people.  It’s another hierarchy.  But somehow I missed… Read More »

sometimes a truth becomes a burden

Hello!  How are you doing?  Sometimes people read one of my zines that’s a few years old, and they make the mistake of thinking all that stuff is still true.  If you read something, it might not be true anymore.  The reason I say anything can be that I need to say it, then lay… Read More »

goats

Hello, how are you doing?  Do you like goats?  Ming and I have been milking a goat on this farm in Oregon.  Her name is Beatrice, and she’s a badass.  She’s feisty and sticks her tongue out at us sometimes.

exercise equipment

Hello, I had a revelation about exercise equipment.  Exercise equipment has always confused me.  Why do people spend thousands of dollars on this mostly metal and plastic that doesn’t actually accomplish anything but exercise, when moving our bodies is free?
