LocationThe swamp, Florida
IntroductionI am a feminist survivalist who lives in a Florida swamp trying to monkeywrench patriarchy. Age: Post-sexy, pre-crone. I'm not wise yet, just wised up, mad as hell, and not taking it any more. Race: Is it possible to be post-racial in "a country that bends over backward to deny its white supremacist tendencies"? (Junot Diaz) Sexual Orientation: Electroflexible. I would say that I've fallen in love with my vibrator, but worry because all the best toys are shaped like animals. Does that compromise my PETA membership? What about my carbon footprint with all the batteries I put in landfills? Mental Status: Crazy (crazy = "a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore", Tina Fey) Religion: apocalyptic. Given the times, are other possibilities viable? Besides, as all the great Mother Goddesses know, destruction affords the best creative potential.
InterestsPatriarchal destruction, feminist survivalism, anchorism, luddism (yes - even though I keep a blog), monkey-wrenching, eco-terrorism, anarchy
Favorite moviesFaster Pussycat Kill! Kill! (but I want to change the ending), Thelma and Louise (ditto on the ending thing), Jaws (ditto ending again), Monster (This movie almost made me like Journey. Almost. But there was that ending issue all over.), The Wizard of Oz (Why does the Witch always have to die?)
Favorite musicIf I can't dance it's not my revolution.
Favorite booksVirginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, Henry David Thoreau's Walden, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, Carl Hiassen's Tourist Season (My favorite Florida book, this one almost made me check my feminist principles at the door -- almost.), Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (Yet another ending issue: Jane and the Attic Madwoman join forces. Far worse fate than blindness befalls Rochester. "Reader I married him" - my ass.), The Bible (Love the apocalyptic ending- with a similar Eyrian twist: Marxist Jesus and the Serpent - whom we all know has roots as Pagan Mother Goddess join forces and go all Yahweh on Paul who claimed to be cured of his blindness on the road to Tarsus but apparently missed a spot - not a mote but a we're talking a real log here - when it comes to queers and women)
