laughingrat@livejournal.com BioI say a lot of stuff here that makes people uncomfortable. Social commentary stuff. I'm not usually very apologetic about it. I'm a liberal, and a feminist. I have strong opinions, and I swear a lot.
I have a shop for hand dyed yarns and art books at Laughing Rat Studio, as well as an Amazon.com store.

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not
made for humans anymore than black people were made for white or women
created for men." --Alice Walker
"Genes may predispose us to act in certain ways, but they excuse nothing."
...
"Our higher human nature is to transcend our biological nature." --Chet Raymo
George Bush Builds an Ark
"We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost." --Charlie Chaplin
"Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings." --Heinrich Heine
What Is Misogyny?
Stop Fucking Him, already!

"Tea: The drink declared to be most wholesome, preserving in perfect health until extreme Old Age. It maketh the body active and lusty. It helpeth the headache, giddiness, and heaviness thereof."
