About Me

vegan, animal lover, student, skeptic, fighter for social justice, traveler (not a tourist)

Look. Pay attention. See the unnecessary death and suffering. We don’t have to contribute or help to keep it going. We can stop being a part of this. And so, that’s what we try to do.

"We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness-embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television."
~Howard Zinn

"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."
~Noam Chomsky

My Interests

Strange is our situation here upon Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. However, there is one thing that we do know, that we are here for the sake of others. Above all, for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy., ~Albert Einstein,

SCHOOLS
University of Montana Liberal Studies
way back then until just recently
Missoula, MT US
No one knows what a Liberal Studies major is. It's a Humanities major. Basically it's for people who can't decide on one thing. I call it being Well Rounded. It also means graduate school is probably in my future if I want to join the formal economy.


JOBS
Poverello Center Weekend Staff
05/05-01/06
Missoula, MT US
  I learned about the homeless firsthand. And my life was changed. For the better.

Riverside Health Care Center Activity Assistant
i can't remember this
Missoula, MT US
  helping residents do crafts, go on outings, etc. The most fun I've had at Work.

Partners in Home Care 1 1/2 years total
Missoula, MT US
  Helping the disabled, elderly, and poor in their homes. Extremely humbling and rewarding work. Burned out. Might return to similar work in the future.
