Hello

Hey Now, I'm Jonathan, a 60-year-old former teacher and former sales manager in the Pacific North West natural foods' industry. Raised in Southern California, schooled in Northern California, 12 years of Grateful Dead shows, and formerly educated at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington (1987 to 1991). I've been a student (and teacher) of History and Economics since before high school, and my family's been involved in liberal politics since the early '70's. A Burner, DJ, and world traveler, I've lived abroad for over a decade. Back in the States, I turned 60, and decided to stop working for corporations that don't give a crap about me, and set out to refine my life by my own design. I decided to start my own business on a wing and a prayer, with a heavy dose of heart and humor. My intention? To make a humble living anywhere in the world, wherever there's a solid WI-FI signal. I'm single, have no children and am responsible for no one but myself, so why not? I had been desperately looking for work when the election happened, and decided to jump into my plan, knowing I needed an exit strategy. I waited to see what was going to happen, and worked towards my goal. But the depressing news of February and March '25 was having a cumulative effect on me, so I stopped what I was doing; and out of self-preservation, and conscientious artistic political necessity, I started building Insurgent Apparel.
