REBEL WRITES
The seeming status-quo--that being subjective--is of no importance for the Rebel (who) Writes.
This is not a space wherein personal or societal concerns dictate individual thought patterns. Over here, one's ideas, ideals and opinions are freely expressed, unabashedly and without apology.
While we are not looking to offend anyone, if you find yourself offended, do not stop there--dig deeper--there is more to unpack.
We intend to spark thinking way outside of the proverbial box and beyond typical words and feelings.
Besides, as Benjamin Franklin Williams said, "Fuck the feelin', keep dealin'."
Enter at your own risk. Welcome.
