Genderqueer Street Philosophactivist: Puerto Rico: My Home
http://philosophactivist.blogspot.com/2014/09/puerto-rico-my-home.html
Friday, September 12, 2014. Puerto Rico: My Home. It's been 4 weeks and here I sit reflecting on the last few years of my life that have brought me to heal on the island of Puerto Rico. For the last few days I've been frequenting the beach- my confidant, my teacher, my altar. There is so much knowledge hidden deep in the warm, fierce waves of the Atlantic off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico where I now reside. In the first 2 weeks of being here, during my artist residency at Patio Taller. I am already...

Genderqueer Street Philosophactivist: September 2013
http://philosophactivist.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Joys of Job Hunting while Trans- Part 2. This weekend I immediately knew exactly why I didn't get hired. On the quiz they gave us. They also dug my creativity in the 2. And then, she called in her white, male boss. I told them what it stood for, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves. She walks me out of the back room and tries to be nice and ask what I'm going to do for the rest of the day and kind of rushes me off saying she'd be in touch by Monday. She'd mentioned earlier that her...

Genderqueer Street Philosophactivist: June 2014
http://philosophactivist.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. Afro-Genderqueer at the Austin African American Book Festival Showcase. Here's the audio and transcript for Saturday's Austin African American Book Festival Showcase. I'm excited and, at least, less nervous than I was about tabling and talking about my books there. This is bigger than me, I have to remind myself. And there will be at least one other QTPOC writer and some 'allies' present. I won't be alone. Well, hello hello. So, a little bit about the Afro-Genderqueer moniker.

http://professionalraconteur.blogspot.com/2012/07/grading-philosophy.html
Professional Raconteur: The racket of Professing. Raconteur rack-on-TUR , noun: One who excels in telling stories and anecdotes.

Tongue in Teeth: Pop Culture Bites: The Fab Five and the Decline of Western Civilization (or, at least, collegiate sports)
http://tongueinteeth.blogspot.com/2011/03/fab-five-and-decline-of-western.html
Tongue in Teeth: Pop Culture Bites. Bite-sized offerings of my popular culture tastes. Sunday, March 13, 2011. The Fab Five and the Decline of Western Civilization (or, at least, collegiate sports). I'm watching the Fab Five documentary on ESPN with mixed feelings. Going to school in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area in the late 90s, I remember the hype, the swagger of those five freshman basketball players from the University of Michigan. Ghetto Boys, and EPMD. The banners are taken down from Chrysler Arena&...
