Books
Fuckyeahlibraries. I'll read anything, really, even if I don't
agree with it (unless it's like Ayn Rand or something).
Anthropology, sociology, environmental science, and herbalism
interest me very much. True crime! Vegan cookbooks galore. Pretty
much anything AK Press has ever released. And zines, lots and lots
of zines...I kind of hoard them.
Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, and Emma Goldman were huge influences on
me growing up. I'm also a big fan of Carl Sagan.
Currently reading:

I try to eat mostly raw vegan, only buy organic, and juice
regularly. I like to pickle and ferment things. I love going to
Food Not Bombs and co-ops and farmers markets. Will you garden with
me? I want to reach a point where I'm growing 95% of the produce I
consume. Urban homesteading and complete self-sufficiency are my
goals.
I'm usually sucking down coconut water or kombucha. I recently had
to wean myself off of coffee for medical reasons, so I gotta have
my maté latte in the morning...or whenever I wake up . Whiskey is
my liquor of choice, but these days I'm mostly a wino. Ooh, I can
make a mean vegan Bloody Mary!
