I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm pro-choice, pro-animal, anti-death penalty and anti-DOMA.
My career as an academic sign language interpreter has spanned 30 years now; and, I enjoy part-time university teaching and writing. My master's degree is in consciousness studies and, although human psyches are fascinating, I am especially interested in nonhuman consciousness/culture and interspecies relations.
Had I three wishes: 1) we treat our nonhuman brethren with respect and compassion; 2) we take better care of our mother earth; and, 3) we accept peace as a means AND an end.
