TL;DR: I am a woke, anti-racist, queer Gen-Xer. I won’t put up with your racism, misogyny, xenophobia, bullying, or general assholie-ness. I envision a world where everyone is treated equally, no matter what they look like or who they love. I want a world where everyone can be happy and safe. That’s what you’re helping achieve when you support me, this blog, and and my businesses.
Still here? Great! Keep reading.

What I Believe
I want to live in a world where diversity is the norm, not just a thing we say to sweep the egregious treatment of humans that don’t look like or believe like us under the rug. I want ALL people to have the SAME access to healthcare, education, safety, finances, fair jobs and housing, food, affirmation, and humanity, ESPECIALLY those who exist in marginalized spaces.
As an American Citizen, I believe The United States has completely failed at following through on promises of freedom and justice for BIPOC persons and marginalized communities. Through systems of oppression like voter suppression, mass incarceration, income and housing inequality, healthcare and justice bias, and so much more, the mistreatment of non-white people continues with impunity across the USA. It makes my heart and head sick and tired.
I understand that as a White American, I have privileges my BIPOC friends and family do not. I have both knowingly and unknowingly upheld racist ideologies in the past, and have been complicit in societal norms designed to marginalize, undervalue, and even kill those members of the BIPOC community. I will spend the rest of my life educating myself and imbuing my life with anit-racist actions and values. It is my responsibility – and the responsibility of the people whose skin color I share – to recognize that we hold the most power and privilege in a system entangled with white supremacy, to break down this societal framework, and build systems that are equitable and inclusive for all people, no matter the color of their skin or the balance in their bank account.
As a member of the Rainbow Family, I wholly support LGBTQIA+ equality and embrace trans, enby, queer, and all other gender and sexual identities. I identify as Enby DemiPan. I believe everyone should have the same rights to legal marriage, having children (or not), gender-affirming care and healthcare, and living safely within our communities.
- Abortion, prophylactics, tubal ligation, and vasectomies are all Healthcare.
- Trans women are women.
- Trans men are men.
- Until Black Lives matter, no lives matter.
- Climate change is real.
- The world is not flat.
- COVID isn’t a conspiracy, and if it is, I STILL did the right thing by vaccinating and masking.
- Palestinians deserve to live in their own country without fear of the genocide currently being waged against them by Israel. Every country backing Israel is also complicit in violation of the Geneva Convention.
- The Trump Administration is committing crimes against humans and humanity, including violating international laws, and if you support the regime, you are complicit and don’t belong here.
Why Am I Telling You?
I believe in the power of who I choose to spend my money with, and what beliefs and causes I choose to amplify. I want to be completely transparent, so that you can also make an informed choice on whether you’d like to spend your money or time with me and any of my businesses.
