Bio


26 / College Grad / Literature Geek / Fangirl / Writer / Poet / Playwright / Feminist / Pro-Choice / Childfree / Independent / Liberal / Heathen /

What you may find here: The occasional well thought out rant, rambles, the day to day events of my life, deconstructions of societal norms (gender, sexuality, femininity, masculinity, etc.), thoughts on politics, and my many infatuations which range from random images that get caught in the filter of my brain, to the latest song I’ve listened to, to the curve of a passing stranger’s cheekbone.

I try to always say what I mean (with corrections/additions as needed). I'm constantly evolving. What I said two years ago may not represent a complete picture of my beliefs now. A foolish consistency, as Emerson said, is the hobgoblin of little minds. I try to remember that when I lack consistency. Which is often.

I moderate/run [info]fundiepharma, a pro-choice community that tries to keep members abreast of the anti-choice/anti-woman goings-on in the U.S. (and other parts of the world...).

Studies show:
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything's gonna be all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget that she's me


~ "Opheliac," Emilie Autumn






Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant. - Ani DiFranco


Killing the Angel in the House was part of the occupation of a woman writer. -- Virginia Woolf


The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. -- Eowyn
