edit data

Wetdryvac is a contract/consent ethicist, artist, and author. Its name and identity were chosen in 1992 specifically to subvert and disrupt preconceptions of gender, age, race, and other -isms. To date, this has been largely successful.

It currently lives a most cheerful life with the fundamentals: Good food and good animals.

It started writing in an attempt to figure out ethics, and ended up at contract/consent. It holds the single worthwhile value of the sentient condition to be free will, in that one not have one's consent breached - or breach that of others.

Basil basket in background, metal pan I'm picking leaves into in foreground. Ugly tomatoes to right.

Dehydrator drying basil leaves, small jazz band sculpture from the 1960s to its left.

Last basil harvest, including a small quantity of purple basil someone else planted. I let some of it bolt so I’d have basil flowers to mix in. Some stored frozen and chopped into oil, some dehydrated.

Spiders rescued: Only two.
Spiders accidentally mooshed: Zero, so far as I can tell.

Reading on RR, so there's probably some difference between that and the final, but this - even as raw cuts - is some really fun genre writing. And, re-reading on the standard published version: Nicely cleaned up, not that it needed much. ...more
