Sociopolitical Musings
Presented here are my thoughts and opinions on a variety of different social, political, and philosophical topics. Through writing, I seek to outline my struggles with such topics and humbly provide what insight I can. I do not claim to have all the answers to the conundrums I choose to tackle, but perhaps the process of reasoning with these issues might produce valuable dialogue amongst concerned people, and that would be enough for me. My work will be posted here, free to view, but if you appreciate what I have to say you are welcome to donate to my Venmo. Thank you.
