I haven't hand-generated many (non-photographic) images for this website; my skills lie elsewhere. However, for the few I did create, I have a page showcasing them, and a usage policy.

This is just me, thinking aloud, once or twice or sometimes even three times a month. Some of these entries are jotted notes about a concept. Others are fully-fleshed essays in rough form. It's kind of like a diary.

The most recent entry is What's in a name? (Tue Jan 4, 2005) . Some of my favorites include:

Well-Meaning Men and Feminism Sun Jan 26, 2003: Are you a well-meaning man? How do you communicate that?
The Vicious Circle of Oppression Fri Apr 19, 2002: Modern oppression churns the same simple, vicious circle, no matter who the oppressed group is.
Power, Privilege, and Self-Organizing Social Structures Sat Nov 25, 2001: I appear to have accidentally found myself writing about the power games that occur as an emergent behavior of a self-organizing dominant culture.
What underlies coming-out etiquette Sun Nov 18, 2001: An examination of the various factors that go into deciding how to come out to whom, and how to react when someone does.
Defining Primary Tue April 4, 2000: How I do primary/secondary polyamory
Not Nice Fri March 23, 1999: Why I'm not nice
The unfortunate Americanization of the 'net Tue November 10, 1998: The ugly American is back -- and we're wired
Gaydar Thu August 13, 1998: Gaydar isn't 100% effective; it's more of a method of aggregating small cues. Understanding how it works can also help understand how to look "more queer" without the use of political t-shirts.
Who Gets to Make the Definitions? Tue July 21, 1998: Identity definitions are fluid. Deal with it. It's important to do two things -- provide a definition for your own space, and not try to enforce your definition on the rest of us.
Alternatives to Banishing Labels Mon July 6, 1998: Labels: We don't have to disavow them -- we can reclaim them
Don't Hit Send! Mon Apr 20, 1998: Netiquette and the art of thinking before you open your mouth
