I am a curious open book. I want to express myself with words and thoughts and receive others' expressions of themselves. I'm a thinker, and I word vomit. My strongest passions are philosophy, food, political thought, and lgbtqia+ and environmental advocacy. I'm unabashedly a bleeding heart liberal -liberal in the wider sense of wanting to explore the world and it's people, meeting them where they are and trying to radically accept what I discover. I love to discuss ideas, especially ideas drawn from places and cultures different from my own. That's how I thrive as a person in a huge cosmos.
