I'm working on an original translation of the Bible. My goal is to let the words of scripture guide my translation rather than reading a favored theology into the text. As the saying goes, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where it is silent, we are silent." In addition to being a formal equivalence, I try to preserve original idioms (with clarification in the footnotes), poetic and metaphorical language, and distinct synonyms (ie. land/ground/dust) where possible.

The text is available under a Creative Commons license. And it is available at a website, and as an ebook, though it is still incomplete.

In an attempt to keep my family fed and get ourselves sorted out in our new RV life, there is now a discount on my art commissions through the rest of April! Use code APRILSHOWERS (April showers, in all caps, with no space) to get 25% off a custom piece of art! Whatever you'd like, as long as it's SFW, I'm happy to do! Pets and human portraits are most popular, followed by OCs (furries welcome), landscapes, and anything you can put your mind to. When I'm not working on commissions, I'm working on writing music, my books, and sharing our RV journeys on tiktok (sometimes youtube). Meanwhile, Betty has been working on new music, as well as an Old-Time Radio podcast!

THE IMPLICATIONS OF "QUEER"

I have been catching up on the reading of my former (queer) professor and I am happy to find he has continued in being the queer pioneer he always was.

We are used, if we know anything about "queer", to the slogan "queer means attack". But what is it queer attacks? The essay I read suggests it is "identity". Yes, that's right, in a world chock full of people who want to make the (sometimes essentialising) claim that they simply "are" things, all kinds of queer people and theorists claim that "queer" is that which attacks the very notion of "identity" and destabilises the intellectual ground on which "identity" can seem convincing.

I am going to write a book next called "Sexual Autonomy". In brief, it is a book about how sexual autonomy is at the heart of political freedom and is, in fact, a necessary component of it. I think the queer insight I just mentioned here is part of that. For we cannot be free if we lock ourselves up in incarcerating notions about sex.

For example, some people think there are things called "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". These exist based on the idea that there are definitive "men" and definitive "women". The intellectual position "queer" says no to this. It says these identifications are rhetoric not fact, fiction (which is and can be for purposes) and not inherent reality. Queer says knowledge, all knowledge, is a tool of power and made up to get somewhere rather than reflecting an idealistically conjured "reality". Nature does not distinguish between "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". There is just sex. Nature does not distinguish between "man" and "woman". There are just humans. Nature does not distinguish between reproductive or recreational sex. There is just sex.

So what queer says here is "Ask yourself what people are doing with their words and why they imagine the world in one way and not another." There are not only two types of anything (and these two types are not opposites either). Queer, if it is anything, is (expanding) diversity. It (I hope) makes you think.
