welcome to the Haul Out, a digital space Tended by a queer, disabled selkie —a seal and a human in one bodymind—living, writing, and thinking in the lowlands of the Philippines. the Haul Out is a space for slow thought and slow words, written with the bodymind’s rhythms rather than against it.

here you’ll find half-formed notes, micro-essays, things that i’ve been reading and watching, various resources, and artifacts from tinkering with LLMs. some of it is written for another reader [the Sixteenth], and some of it is written for my future self, adrift from the shores of the present. whichever one you may be, welcome. wade in the waters or sit by the rocks. whichever suits your present bodymind.

lately i’ve been thinking about~

• comparative religion
  • Protestantism and Catholicism
  • Judaism and Catholicism
  • paganism, Hellenic polytheism, and Christianity
• spirituality of all sorts
  • secular and animist
  • eclectic and queer
  • radical and decolonial
• nature, naturalism, ecology
• philosophy for dummies
• divination and solo TTRPGs
• the material, moral, and spiritual aspects of books
• disabled perspectives, plurality, alterhumanity
• information management and access

the Haul Out is intended to be navigated like a garden. wander around, pick your own path via links. you can start by going to one of the files on the left, going to the index and pick something from the list or the graph, checking out one of the topics below, or checking out some of my favorites below.
