A Dirtbag Anarchist Hiker's Manifesto

A time comes in everybody's life, or at least it should, when they seriously question everything that came before. This isn't that time. That time was like two years ago. Now is the time for doing. It's time for a personal manifesto. A Dirtbag Hiker's Manifesto The American Dream doesn't come in a single apple pie-flavored variety. Oh hell no! It's okay, nay, it's more than okay, to prefer something different. Perhaps something a bit more messier with a bit more grit. A bit of bitter, even, to make those sweet moments even sweeter. It's not purely an American Dream, either, but a human dream -- one which we are obligated to pursue if we are lucky enough to be born somewhere with the possibility. Let's embrace it, instead of fighting it. In doing so, we embrace our true selves. 1) I will walk softly on this earth. This means: Eating a primarily plant-based diet and maintaining my own body. Minimizing use of single-use plastics and pl...

Accumulation and the Rules for Acquisition

Have I mentioned lately my great distaste for consumerism? No? Then you must not know me very well! I've been doing a bit of reading on economic systems this week (the things we do for "fun"). The rabbit trail has been interesting, but most sources seem to break things down into the three main systems: Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism.

Journal 8.30.20

I was up shortly after the sun, bright and clear in the sky as the cool morning air of late August wafted through the window and over my desk. I decided on a light work load, not feeling the urge to shed words on inane topics for clients I will likely never meet. Instead, focus on a simple series of tasks: Laundry The week's lunch soup Homemade bread The joy of having soup for lunch everyday is that it's warm, homey, and simple. Plus, it's an excuse to use up all the odds and ends in the produce drawer before they spoil. Today's pot is a smoky lentil soup, filled with spinach, celery, carrots, parsnips, leaks, overripe tomatoes, and a few other bits and bobs. Living in a mild climate, we can enjoy soup year round, although the type is much lighter in the heat of July compared to the thick stews of January. The smell of baking bread adds the perfect touch of homeyness as I sit on the balcony, knitting behind the screen of tomato plants and listening to...
