This is not a subject that usually has much to do with me. I am a University Professor so occasionally I guess I am charged with trying to prevent bullying, but no one has really ever bullied me beyond the odd comment that I am an apple (term for a Native American who acts “to […]
Note: I took some time to think before I wrote anything about the US election. I have decided that the best response to the whole thing is this list, which is really the only response that I have. The List of Obligatory Fuck Yous: This list is in no particular order. Fuck you all equally, […]
I just want to say that in my personal opinion, morality should be determined by what is not harmful to others. The bible is full of rape stories and depictions of slavery, and none of it is condemned. In fact, it often seems to be encouraged. I just don’t think that is a good […]
I know I have mentioned this before, but I just want to remind you that I did write a book, and that I would really love it if you could check it out. Buying a copy and reading it is an amazing way to say that you care. Reviewing it on Amazon.com is even better! […]

However, most noted that posting on Facebook and other social media wasn’t enough. After all, if you don’t combine your agenda promotion with real world action, then you’re […]
Recently I was looking for ways to help stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. (And I found them, please click here, here, or here to read about it.) However, while I was looking, I noticed something that really made me mad. All the US articles about he Dakota Access Pipeline were either on “news sites” that […]
Recently I wrote about how people need to stop sharing crazy conspiracy theories on Facebook. To be clear: You really should stop sharing conspiracy theories on Facebook. Now, of course people fired back with a bunch of stuff about how the CIA coined the term “conspiracy theorist” in order to stop anyone from questioning the […]
First, note that I have already posted lots of ways to help the water protectors in Standing Rock. Please read this, or this to find out how you can support them. Now then, here is another way: I have been looking into ways to be more helpful to the protesters at Standing Rock, and one of […]
