9 Unexpected things learned in Circus Classes

Anyone following me in the last year knows my obsession with the circus arts. Its through this that I’ve found freedom in several regards. I’ve even talked about this in a few post show interviews recently, to explain that circus is how I literally out climb some of the rougher parts of my path to […]
Life Changing Guacamole Recipe

Anyone who’s followed my journey over the years knows I have struggled with food. I love all kinds of food but not all kinds of food love me back, all the time like I would like them to. This for me is a foray back into my old blogging style in many ways. I stopped […]
Episode 6: Evolution Opinion and Perspectives

Well, that was a lot. Perhaps the most emotional episode so far for me at least if you can believe it. I was left feeling very conflicted after episode 5 and now after episode 6 I feel emotionally drained, but also somehow seen. This is by far my favorite episode, as far as Im concerned […]
Episode 5: Damage Opinion and Personal Perspectives

I have mixed feelings on this last episode. I’m not sure how else to put it.

The first thing I want to say is not about the episode itself but actually about the response from certain aspects of the anarchist community (mostly not ancaps). They’re convinced of sinister things with the makers and have been even giving some […]
Journal 6: How I Nearly Knocked Myself Out on My Anniversary

This was written the very beginning of this July Yesterday was a mess. At least enough of it was to where I put off writing and posting about it until today. The morning started innocently enough. It was my first anniversary with @cabracuerno and we were excited to celebrate with my dog off in the […]
Life Changing 5 Ingredient Prickly Pear Cactus Candy Recipe

This prickly pear cactus candy is INCREDIBLE. When I was 16 I went to Arizona for what was legitimately my first vacation ever. It was like 2 weeks in the Tuscon area which was a huge difference from where I grew up. While there of course I tried prickly pear cactus candy. It was labeled […]
How To Build A Personal Zen Garden

Zen Gardens Should Be Personal Zen gardens are one of those things that everyone kind of likes the idea of, but not very many people create them. I remember buying a zen garden as a kid from the Dollar Store and while it amused me long enough to set it up, I more or less […]
