CURRENT MISSION

"Know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And along the way, lessen the suffering of others."

ABOUT ME

Hey! From Brooklyn but traveling/reporting around CA til August!

I like authenticity, challenging power, traveling, helping people, solitude, solidarity, and good times. I dislike greed, narcissism, oppression, bananas and too much solitude. I think creative time should be considered a civil right and I resist the zombification of society.

I haven't used CS in a LONG TIME so I'm excited to get back into it and meet some new peeps!

PHILOSOPHY

"I have a mind to confuse things,
unite them, bring them to birth,
mix them up, undress them,
until the light of the world
has the oneness of the ocean,
a generous, vast wholeness,
a crepitant fragrance."
-Pablo Neruda
