Your identity: Twenty-something, female, currently transplanted to New York City. Middle/high school physics/math teacher at an independent school. In a long-distance stable monogamous relationship with a boy. Vaguely interested in things pagan, but my main religious commitment for the last couple of years has been Unitarian Universalist church, and I have a lot of respect for the wisdom of established religions. Grew up poor but on scholarship; have some knee-jerk class issues that I'm trying to work with/on/through. Non-evangelical vegetarian with few qualms about squishing invertebrates. Did two years as the president of my college's science fiction club, but have mostly recovered.

What you are passionate about: Teaching and educational philosophy. Organic spirituality. Participatory music, especially vocal. Feminist science fiction, such as Octavia Butler and Ursula Le Guin. (More detailed list of formative literature here. Armchair linguistics.

How you use Dreamwidth: As a braindump, record of the bits of my life that seem worth recording and communicating, try to make them beautiful and memorable. To gather viewpoints and perspectives from other people about things I don't know enough about, or don't trust my biases on. Largely, to communicate with people I already know and post life updates, but discussion is also important.

A link to a recent post of yours that is characteristic of your journal or writing style. Walking Lightly. Giornata della Memoria. Critical Mass. Much of the really good recent long stuff is locked, though.

A link to a journal on Dreamwidth you think people might enjoy reading, even if they don't know the writer personally. commodorified I found randomly through an interests search, and have been hooked since.
