Dilettante's Diary: the internal dialogue of a hedonist bluestocking.

I am a dilettante. I know quite a bit about a lot of things, but I don't know enough to be an expert on anything. I have a very sensual, hedonistic nature, but I am also a thinker, and I aim one day to be worthy of the label 'bluestocking', despite its pejorative connotations.

This is my journal, which, delightfully enough, doesn't have to go wherever I go, but is accessible from nearly everywhere I am.

Pledge of Resistance

the pledge to resist: we believe that as people living in the united states it is our responsibility to resist the injustices done by our government in our names. not in our name will you wage endless war. there can be no more deaths. no more transfusions of blood for oil. not in our name will you invade countries, bomb civilians, kill more children, letting history take its course over the graves of the nameless. not in our name will you erode the very freedoms you have claimed to fight for. not by our hands will we supply weapons and funding for the annihilation of families on foreign soil. not by our mouths will we let fear silence us. not by our hearts will we allow whole peoples or countries to be deemed evil. not by our will and not in our name. we pledge resistance. we pledge alliance with those who have come under attack for voicing opposition to the war or for their religion or ethnicity. we pldege to make common cause with the people of the world to bring about justice, freedom and peace.
another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.
