Note: The term “radicalized” and acclimation
Some people like to preach, “don’t say your ‘radicalized’ just for being a human.” But that dismisses that larger project of acclimation going on in any culture that needs standing up to. The radicalization of just a few can spread out to so many more that there will eventually be those who are so privileged …
An important part on my quest to speak to God, revisited
I did something I never thought I would do again. Though I had deleted these two websites, and before that I had hidden them from online access some time ago because I didn’t want an inkling of association with mass murderers, I, I don’t know, graduated to understanding why so many Catholics didn’t leave their …

Feminist theology and the Turn towards publishing in feminism and capitalism
Last night I starting thinking about Revelation 16:15, and how it melded with the Tanakh, and, perhaps, the teaching of the time of Elijah before the period of judgement. I remember once reading a very compelling study that laid out extremely detailed “evidence” that Revelation was a Jewish text that was refashioned and rewritten to …

Poems that were temporarily offline (cross posted)
It was only by tinkering with the website template that I realized there were a handful of previously published poems still in draft status. That has been corrected and I think I have the full list below. Please also note that the entire time, however long it has been, you could have found these poems …
The test we are under, the remnants of the subconscious signature, and self-defense
The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too …

God of Public Stanzas
God was rather mean, interjecting in today’s poem, “I will not be there when you need me / next, because you could not follow my lines” – and it was true I did not write down the words and phrases He/She was attempting to feed to me, but this spiteful God that is more of …
Currency be damned (cross post)
I’m not saying I am great with money. I could be more frugal. But as a whole the population of the Unites States is financially illiterate, to such a drastic point, most them do not realize that is what causing them so many problems. Let’s just say the older generation that doesn’t trust computers or …
I do not like a recent poem (cross-posted)
I do not like the poem “state house fairground,” even though I know it is quite good. I cannot tell you why I do not like it. I know intellectually that it is masterful. I had great difficulty writing it, because it has too many layers and complex twisted meanings that I do not think …
Cross-post from tilley.solar for re-emphasis – open access, open culture, open learning, anti-thought leaders, anti-careerism, new hope, the beginning of a new community
If you are going to make a definitive statement, one you are willing to double down on, please explicate. You may not realize that you have a teachable moment. Take advantage of it. We all have corners of ideas, ideas we jot down, but never get around to expanding on – however, clarifying those ideas …
