People should be free to be fully themselves.
I oppose racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, antisemitism, ableism, ageism, and every other form of bigotry that tries to make people smaller or less safe.

This site is where my politics, spirituality, disability, Jewishness, queerness, anger, tenderness, and late-night thoughts all get to exist in the same room. I write because silence has never suited me very well.
Systems that protect wealth over people deserve scrutiny.
I do not support an economy designed to keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor poor while treating survival as something people must earn through exhaustion.
War should never be treated as inevitable.
I oppose the military industrial complex, endless war, foreign intervention for profit or power, and the idea that peace can be built at the end of a missile.
Teachers and students deserve better.
Education should be funded, humane, and liberating. Teachers deserve real wages, real support, and a system that values learning over standardized test performance.
