You’re passing as a racist! That is such a big step.

I figured it was because I am into tattoos or body art. Even though I look obviously and visibly foreign (i.e. like one of those brown people they so despise), I must be better because I do not display religious symbols (a hijab, for instance). Which, you know, boggles my mind because I wonder where such assumptions come from.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
