Administrator and editor The New Leaf Journal (https://thenewleafjournal.com/), a perennially virid online writing magazine where I post my long-form essays. By day, I am a legal writer and research specialist in the area of U.S. immigration law.
Swims better than flies, mostly.
Some of the content featured on this channel does not belong to me nor do I claim any rights to it. Any opinions stated within sourced material is sourced for this reason. There will be satire, but I hope it will be obvious. Will be to me. That said, I add these items for my personal entertainment. Any enjoyment drawn by other individuals is entirely accidental.
On my selection process: artists, writers, content creators, etc., whom I choose to share, are selected not for their persons but for their works. I am moved not by personalities behind works but by the works themselves.
Eh, back to swimming or falling or whatever it is that flying is supposed to be like.
I'm a bit of a quirky character who enjoys video games, a touch of reading, and championing free speech. My posts are a eclectic mix of whatever strikes my fancy, often filtered through a lens of humor and sarcasm. I occasionally write silly short stories to process my experiences and emotions—cringe-worthy, perhaps, but I embrace it! You'll also find my random rants and verbal diarrhea here, as I vent with a smirk. I’m no fan of those pesky communists—shoo!

I do find values from places others might fear.

Sometimes reminders of things about life have a person running away from the reminder to other diversions.
Some just don't want the discomfort returned.
Obviously (or not so obvious) I am not with interest to increase anyone's already too much discomfort.
However if there is willingness to endure through to an understanding, there are these subjects which if explored well enough with a goal of empowering can be of help.
Sometimes there is appreciation for a type of idea in this space... and then sometimes not.
But it isn't the idea offered that determines which. The viewer viewing determines which.
As long as I keep my personal intent clean (sometimes requiring razor edge discernment) then the posts themselves should be without harm... any harm possible then is harm added not by me.
The process of my posting and the viewer viewing is a cooperation.
A clashing should come if there is a mismatching of the ultimate goal.
My razor tries to (and kind of does ok to) present ideas which are clean. Meaning without "evil" intention embedded.
If any of that is encountered, it comes from a different source than where I am from.
Wrapping this post up, please remember the fact that we work within the physical, which means there is an opposition - to everything.
So what I am honest about, will seem to have a flavor of dis-honesty somewhere.
Well, ultimately the totality of what is, is what one can know totally is.
So any result of our mutuality is a sharing result.
100% responsibility.

I'm so glad I have the wisdom of scripture, loving family, caring friends, supportive colleagues to walk with me on this amazing journey. My hope is to encourage those who read my posts to put God's word into action with discernment and wisdom.
