Manifesto
My lived experience is one in which trauma, pain, abuse, and anxiety are all intimately and inextricably integrated into my intellectual life. If you demand I shave away those dirty, tainted, emotional parts of me in order to be admitted to the temple of reason I say to hell with your temple. The people and ideas that emerge from it have yet to answer for the harms they have done to others in this world. I'll continue my search for truth in the wine-soaked gutters and alleyways where a different kind of conversation is being had.
