Poem: What is order, what is chaos?

What is order, what is chaos? 
Through order, there is chaos; through chaos, there is order.
For if you enforce the order upon the nature of our universe   
It will be as if you have stricken the sea with a metal mallet.
You will only have made splashes against the sand and air
And when you let the sea flow in its chaotic order of discordance
A symphony and orgy of waves and storms that turn to stillness
You will see the eye of the storm and be amazed to see its bliss
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then this eye beholds you– 
In all of its cosmic discordant harmony, that is the sea, air, land.
The mountains stand tall, but are themselves slippery but slow.

The order from chaos is both the sublime and the most beautiful.

-Brittany Diana.

Confessions of Isolation

Hello My name is Diana, and I am a loner, or I am lonely, it really makes no difference, maybe there is, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Are we not also lonely here? The past two years caused by many things, we don't need to talk about the details, we already pretend everything is back to normal again. Though what is normal? Normal, as the cliche goes, is just a setting on a washing machine.  I think of myself as just plain crazy in a normal way, like I know I am mentally unwell with verified labels and others I can just speculate and think I might have, but that is beyond the scope of this blog.  Being a freelance writer is kinda of a lonely job especially when prior mental and physical health issues seem to get in your way. I try my best to network, build community, make friends, meet with loved ones and so forth– anything or anyone can help though specific details will make or break the level of comfort and intimacy we may go with, not to overshare too much of course.  Life

As a trans woman I think that...: A Short Essay on Transmisogyny

But but why would you wanna be a woman?! Why not, being a woman absolutely rules! Especially a trans woman, yet not everyone agrees especially those are absolutely against us. We debate, argue, and just ask the hard hitting questions. Are trans women women? Of course they are. Trans women are women!  This is what qualifies as ally-ship on twitter these days.  I get the intent though, and it is true– 100% and no falsehoods, however, it comes of as a meaningless platitude because it is backed up with no deeper thought or action. I have been reading Whipping Girl by Julia Serano and also TransGressive by Rachel Anne Williams, two books by trans women. The former is a foundational text for transfeminism and Serano's thesis is laying out transmisogyny as part of a core analytical theme of transmisogyny. It is a good read, provided you think like an academic, otherwise it is pretty dry. Think of my essay as the ketchup on a hamburger. So in this essay, I will provide a quick simple

A Neoplatonic Pagan Philosophical introduction on The Problem of Evil

 Hello everyone, Salvete Omnes The famous problem of Evil often attributed by Ancient Greek Philosopher Epicurus follows as this "God, he says, either wishes to take away evils, and is unable; or He is able, and is unwilling; or He is neither willing nor able, or He is both willing and able. If He is willing and is unable, He is feeble, which is not in accordance with the character of God; if He is able and unwilling, He is envious, which is equally at variance with God; if He is neither willing nor able, He is both envious and feeble, and therefore not God; if He is both willing and able, which alone is suitable to God, from what source then are evils? Or why does He not remove them" This exact formulation is actually from De ira Dei , a treatise by the Early Christian writer Lactantius, who definitely heard of Epicurus being from the Eastern Roman Empire who sought to make a philosophical tradition contrast with what he (presumably) saw as pagan hogwash and he was
