About

Not a journalist, not a professional writer. Just someone who has views about what's going on, a literary streak, and finally a place to put both.

A note on what this is: everything here is a personal reflection, not a claim about any specific person, community, or group. Where I write about a pattern I've noticed, I mean it as exactly that — a pattern, not a verdict — and where it doesn't apply to you or someone you know, it probably wasn't written with you in mind. Read it in the spirit it was written: someone thinking out loud, not someone making a case against anyone in particular.
