About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to recover the golden falafel of destiny
ABOUT ME
I work in a high school in Western Sydney teaching English to newly arrived students.
I study media production, in particular writing and directing.
I play frisbee, saxophone and jelly wrestling.
I oscillate wildly to reggae and soul.
Myself in some hypotheticals
If i was a furry animal i'd be a red panda
If I was a sea animal I'd be a narwhal
If i was a hat i'd be a sombrero
If i was a kitchen accessory i'd be an egg beater
PHILOSOPHY
"We need to stop trying to fix people so that the system works better, and start fixing up the system so that people work better."
Thelma Jean Goodrich
“I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom.”
Noam Chomsky
There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
Daniel Berrigan
