CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I graduated from the Univ. of Southern MS, where I studied Sociology, Spanish, Human Rights and Theatre. I work for social justice and human rights. I'm a revolutionary socialist. I'm queer. I'm Buddhist and Transtheist. I really like radical leftist politics and movements. I like to party. I like music and reading, all forms of art, sharing spaces with beautiful minds. I like the technology that has allowed me to experience such beauty of human creation and formation on such a broad level. I seek out beauty, and I often find it.

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Einstein

PHILOSOPHY

Impermanence, interbeing and mindfulness.
Marxism and the ability of the exploited and oppressed to take control over their lives and societies.
