| Bio: | This is where I talk about random stuff about my life and politics and whatever strikes me. I also have a cooking journal at ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) serenecooking.
I'm polyamorous, so you're bound to hear about my partners stonebender and someotherguy in this journal, and about anyone else I take a fancy to (it doesn't happen often, so if you're looking for salacious stuff, you might be bored before I get there).
Most of my entries are public, but I do lock some entries, and I don't, as a rule, give anyone else any say over which are which.
I love who I love.
Life is good and hard and sweet and easy.
Love is better than hate; optimism can coexist with cynicism.
It is better for me to believe in the power of the goodness of human beings than to rail at an imaginary god for the evils that coexist with that goodness.
Permanence is an illusion. Death is a reminder to hold on to beauty.
Magic is not real.
God is not real.
Homeopathy is not real.
Distance healing is not real.
I respect people's right to believe in things that are not real.
Let me say that again: I respect people's right to believe in things that are not real.
That said, I do not respect the beliefs themselves. To say otherwise would be to lie.
Please, please, please, if the above means you will not feel safe sharing your posts with me, feel free to drop me from your list, or to ask me to drop you from mine, or filter me out, or whatever works for you. I say this in a total spirit of love and respect; I have no desire to harm you or make you feel unworthy. At the same time, I have no energy for pretending I think all beliefs are equally worthy of respect.
I post about some of the following controversial things in my LiveJournal, and you shouldn't read it if you don't like hearing about these things:- sex
- bisexuality
- polyamory
- atheism
- leftist politics
- abortion
- body acceptance
- open borders
- veganism
- voluntary simplicity
- queerness
