About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I'm an atheist Jewitch, rabbinical school dropout (but ordained to perform marriages), paraprofessional bioethicist, HIV researcher, urban farmer, chicken wrangler, beekeeper, knitter, crocheter, Hallowe'en enthusiast and asexual geek. So, basically a dilettante.

Also, I've been married for 19 years to a curmudgeonly biker with a super-squishy inside.


Resources:

Eating Disorders - Try a coping bank or feel free to me mail me. IANYTherapist, but I have some resources I can offer and if you tell me the truth, I will tell you the truth, too.

Dementia/Alzheimer's - read The 36 Hour Day. Don't wait. Read it now.

Homeless services for women in L.A. - Downtown Women's Center (this is a place of unrivaled dignity. I hope that if I ever became homeless, I would have access to a place like this).
