I spent a very short amount of time reading some men’s rights blogs (warning: not for the faint of heart), and something really struck me.  Most comments I read – especially in response to articles/news stories regarding allegations of rape or domestic violence – said things like “what about male victims?” and “women can rape too”.

a few words on the importance of interpersonal revolutionary work

October 28, 2013

Today and yesterday I have been reminded of the harm that can come when we are working in groups to create a better world, yet perpetuate injustice interpersonally.

bear with me here…. I heard about Snowden’s latest leak and its relation to black budget spending.  And let me just say one thing…  if media discussion of surveillance leans towards the “useless” argument, run.  Because to me, it seems like it is working EXACTLY how it is supposed to.  It’s not for foreign spying, […]

Last sunday I took a journey into my soul. I faced down some demons and was rewarded with the return of my infinite loving capacity.  It was like a giant knot in my heart was undone. I went from feeling like a clogged drain to a hollow bamboo and I could not be more grateful […]
