About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I'm a Jewish atheist, rabbinical school dropout (but ordained to perform marriages), paraprofessional bioethicist, HIV researcher, urban farmer, chicken wrangler, beekeeper, knitter, crocheter, Hallowe'en enthusiast and asexual geek. So, basically a dilettante.

Also, I've been married for 16 years to a curmudgeonly biker with a super-squishy inside.

Yes, my avatar is my own body/tattoo, but a much earlier version.

"So he says to me, Soph...."

Resources:

Eating Disorders - Try a coping bank or feel free to me mail me. IANYTherapist, but I have some resources I can offer and if you tell me the truth, I will tell you the truth, too.

Dementia/Alzheimer's - read The 36 Hour Day. Don't wait. Read it now.

Homeless services for women in L.A. - Downtown Women's Center (this is a place of unrivaled dignity. I hope that if I ever became homeless, I would have access to a place like this).
