Formerly Known as Call for Submission

2019-06-06T22:28:11-07:00

I made a decision while thinking on how I would ask for work from contributors for 1st edition of Ambidextrous, the magazine project I’m working on. It crossed my mind that the word submission as in a “Call for Submission,” carried baggage for me. I would like to see a sea change in the way language is often used to frame concepts of bigotry and domination. I started noticing instances of what I’ll call "fantasy" or fantastic language playing out in computer jargon where there are master devices and slave devices.

My Mother Wanders

2019-04-27T03:28:43-07:00

By Jane PaulMy mother wanders through the creaky old house, not on cat feet like her favorite poem but on the squeaky wavering wheels of an elderly person’s ubiquitous symbol of limited mobility - the walker. Querulously negotiating turns that were not even noticed five or ten years ago, taking ten minutes to launch from sitting to standing, and back down again, from fragile weight on the walker to the comfy position in the one wonderful old big chair.

Waste to energy

2019-05-09T21:30:16-07:00

In the book, Hoodwinked in the Hothouse, the authors explain why the practice of “waste-to-energy” is a false solution in helping manage the climate crisis. Waste-to-energy (WTE) is the process of generating energy from solid waste to produce electricity and/or heat. Specifically, garbage is burned in an incinerator, the heat causes water to boil creating steam and in turn, the steam propels a turbine that makes electricity. Counties that have employed this technique boast of their ability to burn tons of garbage a day and a million tons per year while powering a percentage of their communities’ electrical needs through this “environmental friendly” process.
