Hello, my name is Ben Bartosik.

This site is my little space on the internet that isn't controlled by billionaires, algorithms, or AI. I promise I'm not trying to sell you anything or recruit you to my new MLM scam.

It's just a quiet place where I can think out loud and make connections between the things that interest me and the problems that I dwell on, all with the aim of trying to move the needle forward on making this world just a little bit better. Plus, here's a peek at my toolkit—if you're into that sort of thing.

Favourite Things

Folk music, pop culture deep dives, vegetarian cooking, Godzilla, woodworking, social history, horror movies, board games, and Prince.

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.
