Hello World.

(I realize this image is garbage for numerous reasons. However, this is when the baby woke up, and I'm tired of procrastinating this post.)

I'm a full-time mother whose hobbies include steel mace fitness, pursuit of a clean lifestyle, and studying computer sciences. I use Steemit as a way to get peer-based world news while avoiding Twitter. I don't publish much, because my children and immediate life are of greater priority. But when I do, there is a relatively high chance that, regardless of topic, the content will be in some way related either to pointing out bad logic and/or providing a replacement paradigm.

My children have to live in this world, and theirs after me. I am learning from the mistakes of those before me, as my children will learn from the mistakes I cannot see myself making today. But I believe that a courageous quest to confront all un-truths--within ourselves as well as without (as above, so below)--is the highest pursuit of every pilgrim.
