Titanism VII: Will you be There?

Ever the activist, I recently attended a training session and think tank kind of gathering about contemporary issues which are concerning and present dangers for our current culture that leans toward anger, violence and indifference. I will probably get into trouble for this, but I am going to share something with you that I added to the discussion. We were examining […]
