About Me

Bastion of Sass
Atheist. Former Catholic, once wanted to be a nun--really. Humanist. Feminist. Politically liberal. Supporter of social justice. Attempts to be rational. Believes that ridiculous ideas and opinions deserve to be ridiculed. In general, tries to be an understanding, nice person, but often when confronted with the inane, can't suppress the sass.
