Moving to Ghost.io
Hey gang! First, thanks for following my little blog. It means a lot to this androgynous guy just trying to found the right outlet for his voice in the world. Unfortunately, among many of the effects of current cultural and political events, WordPress is no longer that place. As a result, I have moved all Continue reading

The Inaneness of Expecting Spirituality to Be Scientific
One thing religious people prior to the Enlightenment period did not have to contend with was the false dichotomy of science and spirituality. Strangely, while this attitude is presented both explicitly and implicitly throughout our modern materialist society—and interestingly, almost globally as it affects Eastern societies as much as Western—it creates strawmen of both. Religion Continue reading

Forging a Spiritual Path Outside Religious Trauma
One time in the first witchcraft server I regularly frequented, I got into an argument with someone who joked that “they’d probably turn into a vampire” if they entered the Jewish shul nearby because like many people it never occurred to them that shuls are not the same as churches and Jews are not the Continue reading

The Magical Community’s Unrealistic Education Expectations
I’m writing this shortly after the current Presidential administration slashed the Department of Education staff by 50%, after campaigning on the idea of eliminating it entirely. One of the important things the Department of Ed. does is fund rural and lower income school districts so that the children living in those regions can receive an Continue reading

Untouchable: A Greek Myth Retelling, Part 2
By the time I stumbled home with still-tingling skin, it was at an hour I would have never willingly traveled through town. Using my fingers for eyes, I navigated by scraping them along the edges of familiar structures with all the speed of a turtle. As I had to cross one of the major streets, Continue reading

Untouchable: A Greek Myth Retelling, Part 1
“But I’m not really a man,” the god said. Before my eyes, the slick, muscled form half submerged in ocean flickered. First to air, then vapor, and finally solid… very solid, to a horse. He—It, I suppose—snorted and pawed the silt, splashing water up its thoroughbred legs. This confirmed that the initial human-looking form that Continue reading

By the Time You Read This…
I’ll be facing an influential transphobe dead on. You may have noticed that I do not blog at the rate I once did since the Tr*mp inauguration (re-inauguration?). That’s because most of the creative inspiration, minus some fiction efforts offline, is stunted much like other forms of joy. I can’t blog that much, I can Continue reading

Please Don’t Tell Me You Don’t Want to Come Out
This blog post may have me come off as uncaring, but these last few weeks have frayed my nerves to the point where I need to better understand and state my own capacity. If you can’t watch video above, it’s a scene from Gus Van Sant’s 2008 film Milk, which is about the US’s first Continue reading

Don’t Name Your Sourdough Starter After a Dead Queer Magician
Back in November, I acquired a sourdough starter from one of my trans brothers who works in a health food restaurant in my area. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. The first people I showed my new baby off to was two of my friends from the first witchcraft server Continue reading

Transgender Men in Ancient Roman Literature
Back when I was reading Virgil’s The Aeneid—an epic that invigorated me and showed me that there is such a thing as incredible polytheist writing—a throwaway line caught my eye. It occurred in the most compelling of The Aeneid’s books, “The World Below,” which describes the Underworld as Aeneas visits. Among the famous Dead who Continue reading
