Hosting Services Now Available
I am now offering peer to peer advertising services via my website here on a negotiable contractual basis; my preference will continue to be given to charitable and socially beneficial organizations, but I do have to eat. Writing isn’t, oddly enough, known for it’s ability to put money in your pocket easily. Peer to Peer […]
Business Plan Idea Broad Strokes
I had envisioned a fashion game to go with my blog where the graphics in the shop linked to actual fair trade cooperatives and original point of sales vendors, with the option to buy in for the right to buy any designs you made in the design shop using available materials, so that if the […]
Peer to peer ethical trade and human trafficking
The most frequently overlooked aspect of trafficking is the labour trade market, which forces people in conflict zones to find work through companies which extort them, and they mine things like rare minerals used to build cellphones and blood diamonds, depending on the area. The closer you get to the original source, the worse the […]
Vanity, the Venus Effect, and the Observer

It’s frustrating to know for example that wars are entirely […]
Your Callsign is a Badge of Honour
I refuse to write any “how to take over the world” articles – at least, intentionally, though I may periodically write about the laws of war…. when I write Cosmo or Maxim type articles. I am just writing. That said. I have recently been taking myself through the painful and uncomfortable mission of invading my […]
The Threads of Trade
Today I went into town and went shopping, as per my regular MO. I am looking into work and moving, and rather than have to bring boxes in and out of my rather cramped space more than once, I decided instead to buy another trunk to put my things in, which ran me $30.00 at […]
Fair Trade Principles in slow fashion and the economy
Fair trade principles state that through the intellectual and financial empowerment of individuals and through community building, advocacy and awareness campaigns, financial literacy and personal development programs, we can improve not just the quality of life but both industry and environmental standards. One of the primary difficulties I encounter while advocating for trafficking victims and […]
