Hello! My name is Ben. Welcome to my little piece of the internet. 👋

I like to consider myself an advocate for better communities — whatever size they may be. Here you'll find a collection of short notes related to that as well as some longer form writing I've done.

Some of my favourite things are folk music, short stories, boardgames, non-car related movement, folk horror films, anti-capitalism, and Godzilla.

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.
