“The task of an activist is not to navigate systems of oppressive power with as much personal integrity as possible; it is to dismantle those systems.” - Lierre Keith "As she lay in her bedroom she reflected on the terrible mathematical doubt that increasingly haunted her, whether the Lord calculated charity by what one had given or by what one could have afforded to give." - John Fowles "When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money." - Cree prophecy “One doesn’t have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient.” - Charles M. Blow "Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching." - George Van Valkenburg

What I Hope to Share
If you have a problem with me, please speak to me directly before reporting me; I will endeavor to formulate a solution that is respectful for both of us in accordance with my ethics. I stand against authoritarianism in forms both grandiose and subtle, and for the rights of the oppressed. Be who you are. Love who you love. An it harm none, do as ye list.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
I'm a multiple outsider: interspiritual (mostly pagan and Buddhist), pansexual, polyamorous, relationship anarchist, autistic, HSP, INFJ, disabled, otherkin, co-evolver, eco-socialist. I love the arts in all their forms, walking/hiking, meditating, and spending time with loved ones. I used to be the assistant director of a NAMI/DMH affiliate facility, but I had to quit due to illness. I am now trying to find a venue for my writing, as I recognize this to be my calling in this life. I experience OCD, CPTSD, MDD. I believe in fostering reciprocity, compassion, and diversity within this community, and in sharing my moral compass of love, harmony, wonder, and their attendant virtues.
