    My Interests

    fishing for parahnas in the rain, reading a book on the front porch, sewing my clothes tighter, overthrowing capitalism and establishing workers control in a classless society, having affordable dental and medical care, and playing kickball.

    Books:

    James P Cannon's History of American Trotskyism, Bob McCubbin's Roots of Gay and Lesbian Oppression, Labor's Untold Story, Solid State Electronic Devices, Richard Wright's Black Boy, Hubert Selby Jr's Last Exit to Brooklyn, Satre's Nausea, Berenstein Bears, Hesse's Demian, Toni Morrison's Beloved, Phillip K. Dick's VALIS trilogy, anything by Angela Davis, John Fonte's Ask the Dust, anyone who can humorously destroy John Rawls, Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow (if i could understand it), Engel's Origins of Private Property, Family and the State, the backs of cereal boxes...

    Heroes:

    union organizers. anyone who can give up drinking Coke products, never wear sweatshop clothing, never step on cracks, always ride a bicycle, and appreciate but not patronize the South. my mom.
