Very Incomplete List, but Perhaps Some Helpful Feminist Readings
(Not all of these are citations in Chicago Style, why? Because there is enough information to show you were to find the book or article and I do not have to patience to go through all of them) Pamela K. Gilbert’s essay, “Sex and the modern city: English studies and the spatial turn,” from The …

Excessive forgiveness is a great lie in theology. Forgiveness comes with a sobered evaluation of oneself.
You don’t have to forgive yourself. That is really not a thing. People say that it is and will even try to convince you that it is something that must be done, but no honor is served by doing so. Stop and think it over. Do you really, truly forgive yourself for what you know …
Note: A Truism from Trek about Theology
This just a short note based on my own experiences and my strong interest in Star Trek. There is a line of dialogue that a brilliant writer, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, probably didn’t know he was getting correct. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season one episode, “In the Hands of the Prophets” (1993). Vedek …
Possible Model for Alternative Futurism: Responsibility to Leave (R2L)
Cross-posted Memo I have long been an advocate that we need to take care of Mother Earth before we become too overwhelmingly concerned with colonizing other planets. I have long been an advocate for aggressive education reform. I believe that the goal of any progressing society should navigating towards abolishing capitalism. I will not repeat …

Reposting: Theory of Monetized Empathy
Theory of Monetized Empathy – states that people are more likely to be oppressed by other people if they lack financial well-being. Intersectionality still applies. This is a holistic theory, all encompassing, and true. Given the reality of economic inequality and humanity’s refusal to intellectually entertain abolishing currency, we are left with the reality that …
Memo: My Witnessing of the United States
Last month I wrote a rather important poem. It is important because it focused down on my testimony and insight into the United States. It is not easily understand or deciphered. However, such are the conditions I can say I am a witness to. If there is an afterlife, I will offer what insights I …
Reposting: Clarification of poem
Lots on wordplay in the poem I wrote this morning. I suppose it helps to know that “love-in-idleness” is just another phrase for heartsease, which is a flower, a pansy, the type that most hybrids come from, Viola tricolor, / family Violacease. Play on heart /mix of/ word refrain (musical), symphonies, lecture halls, decry, shifting …
Memo: Avoid autobiographical fiction
I just found two story outlines, both about 10 pages of notes, that I exerted a great deal of effort into trying to flesh out for potential novels. I hadn’t reviewed them for a while and now with fresh eyes I see they could not possibly be anymore autobiographical. For most of us, this should …
Note: The Separation of Spirituality and Civility (We are on our own)
The damage people do the ecosystem cannot be corrected with prayer. It does not matter what god one prays to. It does not matter how important the cause that led to the contribution to climate change. No prayer can be so sophisticated to undo such damages. There is no perfection of mysticism that will correct …

Short Note: John Bellamy Foster thinks mass murder is acceptable
Ecosocialism does not include mass murder, but it seems, John Bellamy Foster did not get the memo. Here he is quoting Lenin with reverence: In applying a historical materialist critique to the process of the destruction of reason, Lukács, periodised the growth of irrationalism in terms of the imperialist or monopoly stage of capitalism. Lenin …
