Philosophy, politics, entertainment. Art, music, poetry, science. Macrocosm, microcosm.
Sometimes my fora get mixed--as recently I got into a public tussle on Quora about the distinction between Katie and Kate. The former being a specimen of the ordinary (vulgar and ridiculous) American custom of using nicknames--even affectionate, inner-family Shibboleth-ic, cute nicknames--as official first names. They're still nicknames.

I burn hot. I tend to exhaust people in conversation, like Margaret Fuller did Carlyle. Which leaves me (but apparently not Margaret) always wishing I'd shut up sooner. I have quite a few friends and not many enemies, but I'm very proud of the few I do have. There is consensus among my friends about me, which is how I know to write about myself. What my enemies think of me I have no idea. That, of course, could be dangerous. The list of interests and favorites is absurdly partial and half-assed, particularly as to music and books. It's the stupid format of the blog itself, as given, that, of course, I color outside the lines and burst the seams of.
