Background
I’m a polytheist that produces traditional poetry, prose, electronic music and vector art in the ways that most inspire me. I have a deep appreciation of history, philosophy, spirituality, culture and creativity in all its forms. My creative works are inspired by many different passions, pursuits, philosophies, genres and cultures. I greatly enjoy alternative subcultures, spiritualities and aesthetics – as well as the geek, gamer and furry fandoms. I most enjoy creative material that is modern and experimental while still respecting the romantic spirit of cultural traditions and the powerful symbolism they embody. I also believe that art should be made more for the sake of creating beauty and enjoyment than towards the advancement of a particular agenda. This approach is also reflected in other philosophical and spiritual domains of my life. In addition to my creative work, I am a volunteer at the friends of the library bookstore.
Disclaimer
I consider debate to be a deeply polarizing and pointlessly semantic activity that I prefer to avoid whenever possible. I am a very passionate person with a lot of conviction but I endeavor to persuade people with personal connection rather than the spectacle of public discourse. Furthermore, I consider all extremist ideologies to be equally abhorrent and I’m not interested in hearing arguments to the contrary. I oppose any and all expressions of elitist behavior as well as gatekeeping, gaslighting, purity testing, and destructive criticism. I also oppose aggressive recruitment, proselytization, pedantry, conspiracy theories and pseudo-scholarship of any kind. I reserve the right to discuss difficult topics in private, at my sole discretion, and I would rather focus my attention on mutually beneficial social networking – rather than unnecessary drama and polemic discourse. I have plenty more exciting and rewarding activities to engage in, but I will not hesitate to confront people who repeatedly disrespect me or the people I care about.
