The world owes us nothing; we owe each other the world. - Ani DiFranco

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in-between.

man’s will towards exceptionality. His quest for superiority and mastery over all other beings, including women. Until a human fetus is viable and can live and breathe in the world, it is a thing synonymous with woman, just as the walnut is part of the walnut tree. I know I’m working this tree metaphor a little hard here but, seriously . . . it is just so damn simple! The woman is the tree, dude! Her branches have been waving and waving all this time, shouting, “Up here!” while the patriarchal gaze looks right past her, unseeing, and projects its ego like a laser into her gut. War is mass murder, capital punishment is murder, murder is murder. Abortion is part of the eternal process of natural selection, one that women have been engaging in since

There's a paradox in every paradigm.
