About
Calvin's mom: Life could be worse, Calvin.
Calvin: Life could be a lot better too!
I'm an advocate for making things better — for ourselves, for others, for future generations, or even just because it's the right thing to do. This is a space for me to share some of the ideas and inspiration I'm thinking through towards that goal.

Statement of Faith
I grew up evangelical but I no longer identify with that term.
Dorothy Day once described her life as one having been "haunted by God" and I think that's a pretty good summary of my own faith.
My Patron Saints
Quietly inspired by the lives of Dorothy Day, Bernadette Devlin, and Sinead O'Connor.
Some Things I Enjoy
Irish folk music, oral histories of pop culture, vegetarian tacos, Godzilla, woodworking, social history, folk horror films, board games, and Prince.
