Alas! You have indeed discovered the Blog Portal!
The Blog Portal is like the Writing Portal’s slightly less cool sister. She’s the Jan to the Marcia. Instead of Substack links, it’s the true higgledy-piggledy collection of reflections of my Buddhism, Veganism, and Neurodivergent Mind.
There’s the entirety of my “Taradical Tangents”, all nestled here for your reading convenience. As mentioned over on the Marcia page: Taradical is a portmanteau of “Tara” and “Radical”; and Tangents… I need not define that term. It’s a self-demonstrating article.
My two wolves are part of the Taradical Lore too!
(Just a girl chillin’ in chalk with her AuDHD.)
Shall I provide thee with some context? Thou art more lovely and deserving.
My habit is in writing every day. It’s so much easier for my AuDHD mind to stick to something if there’s at least some consistency, with a dash of flexibility so that the wolves are collaborating.
These pieces are a ragtag motley crew of reflections on the intersection of my lifelong Buddhist practise, my passions for animal rights and advocacy, and my own neurodivergence.
They may come about as prose (I’m fond of purple! like Tolkien himself), poems, and many a pop-culture reference.
Prose (Purple et al.)
Context about Prose and perhaps stream of consciousness style writing pieces??
Discuss SOC and my essays etc
Pop a picture of a quill and the colour coding
Pun about Sentient Beans, I gotta. Will probably end up being a DIY take on Homemade Baked Beans. Noice. Chef Del Sroufe is my homie.
Sentient Beans, Baked? Three Sentient Beans Chilli??
Chilli’in’ like an Anti-Villain?
These are my papa’s recipe, super simple, literally just blitzing some dates and nuts etc.
Sweet Treats – including Bliss Balls etc
This is a cabbage salad because I chuck every single raw veggie in a salad. It’s kinda my thang.
This will be all about Crucifers – big salads, Vietnamese etc.
Poems
12 Days of Poetry
I didn’t plan for it to eventuate as such, but I ended up writing a poem each day for the 12 Days of Christmas. This is where wolves and witches managed to worm their way into my “werses!”
I’ve listed some key poems below. They are all stream of consciousness style. And in lowercase, for the aesthetic.
Recipes
Oh-ho-ho! Oui oui, baguette. This is where my inner Remy comes alive!
Discover the Vegan Portal to learn more about each of the recipes, and more importantly, why all sentient beings deserve respect and to be left off your plate.
Bon appetit!
