CURRENT MISSION

Subverting the kyriarchy from rural Appalachia

ABOUT ME

I'm a super progressive feminist in a very, very red state. I like spirited political discussion, writing blog entries, and using the hot tub on my back porch. I used to have a really exciting, funny life, but I traded it in for a much more peaceful and contented one. This is actually the best of both worlds: I still have all the stories and memories, but no longer have the stress.

My husband and I keep thinking about selling most of our possessions and moving to another country. We do not like the United States particularly much.

PHILOSOPHY

Somewhere between a liberal and a radical feminist. Uncomfortable with second wave/third wave terminology. Anti-porn, pro-actual good sex. Anti-racist, anti-ableist. Fat acceptance advocate. Voting Rocky Anderson 2012. Pro-labor. Pro-economic justice. Anti-oppression in all forms.
