Usefulness

I have used the quadratic equation exactly zero times since I left high school.

I have just used my knowledge of Chicago style formatting to edit homemade aesthetic theories and add irrefutable in-text citations from major primary sources to help bolster arguments against academic bureaucrats. Now they can't wriggle out of a sticky situation. I call this a counter-greeble.

Where are we going? Into Darkness

Sometimes... you need the darkness... It's part of your humanity... pretending it doesn't exist is as dangerous as giving into it.

Professional Greebling

There is a thing about Greebling: you can be a professional Greebler. It's the hardest thing in the world to do because it usually requires you to be clever and understated. But there is major Greebling that happens in the world and that's a heroic thing. Gandi greebled the living daylights out of the English government. Women greebled the vote and the bad guys when the went to work for the war effort. Professional Greeblers have it rough. I'm done with cute greebling: The stuff no one can get mad at you for: pranks and jokes, and sparring with words. That isn't going to change anything. I'm choosing victims who are more deserving of the efforts. I suppose that's why I've been silent for so long. Greebling without a purpose isn't fun or a good use of energy.

Enter my age old nemesis: The feminists.

Feminist, according to the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) is:

Of, relating to, or advocating the rights and equality of women.

I'm Anti-Fem. I'm pro-equality. I identify as humanist (ie a subscriber of humanism, which according to the OED is:

Any system of thought or ideology which places humans, or humanity as a whole, at its centre, esp. one which is predominantly concerned with human interests and welfare, and stresses the inherent value and potential of human life. In early use freq. with reference to humanitarian religions

The definition of these words need to be honored. I'm not interested in the micro: The tiny, but well grouped and organized niches of marginalized people. I'm interested in the MACRO. I want equality for people are aren't given a voice because they appear to be white, or may have had privileged or good luck or bad luck. Injustice is EVERYWHERE and it is colorblind and gender blind and more open to variables than justice-seekers are when they appeal for equality of certain groups instead of for everyone.

I'm a greebler on a mission.
