About Me

Pre-book launch #selfie. Feeling ready to brave the end of the world! #ragnarok

I'm Katje van Loon. I'm a writer, an author, a poet, and a menace to society. I am also an activist, a feminist, a geek, a knitter/crocheter, and many other things. I wear a host of hats. I've been blogging off and on (mostly on) since 2004. One of my first blog iterations was The Canadian Pagan, and I used to go by Jagged on Blogdrive.

This blog, Amoeba Kat Musings, has existed in many different forms and permutations since 2008. It's always been my writer-blog (ie, where I blog as Katje van Loon, Writer), but as time has gone on what I want to blog about as a writer has evolved. It's still evolving.

What you will find here, likely: posts on feminism and dismantling the kyriarchy. Politics. Fat acceptance. Pictures of my dog. Posts about my husband-type-person. Poetry. Me geeking out. Knitting. Occasionally, book reviews. And much, much more.

I try to be diligent about trigger warnings, but I don't put everything behind a cut. Read with caution.

(I do put spoilers behind cuts.)

On a side note, I am also an Ambassador for Barefoot Books, along with my mom. Barefoot Books supplies high-quality children's books via its ambassadors and online shop. I have been a collector of children's books for many years, and I'm excited to grow my collection with the help of Barefoot (and to help others grow their collections, too).

If you want to become an ambassador, click on the picture below to join my team.

If you decide to become an ambassador under me, or buy books via the above link, you are supporting me and by extension my writing.

The Second Alarm

In 1773, a popular pamphlet called The Alarm attacked the monopolistic intentions of the East India Trading Company. The Alarm's dogged reporting of the Company's exploits in Asia and its control over laws governing America convinced many colonists to stage the Boston Tea Party, as well as similar anti-corporate protests in Annapolis and Charleston. Today, Wall Street and K Street interests pose an existential threat to American liberty and self-government.
