outlawland: a land for outlaws

a contemplation of what outlawry means and can mean


hello friends! i am An Outlaw. when i feel disillusioned or helpless about the current state of the world, this site is designed to remind me (and anyone else!) that resistance is always within reach. my inspiration is the outlaw of history and legend, across the world — in spirit if not always in practice.

my flavors of outlawry are literary, historical, and pedagogical. i also dabble in gardening, cooking/baking, and yarn arts. some forms of outlawry i am working on are waste reduction and community building. i hope this site is both a neat place for cool things and inspiration for others to find their prefered forms of outlawry.

my goal is not to "water down" concepts of resistance and outlawry but rather to broaden them. we can't all be on the highways robbing stagecoaches, but we can all do something to bring down that nasty sheriff and prince john. (and while we're at it, king richard's not that great either.) anyone can be an outlaw!

outlaws like each other
