No, it’s not a typo. "Conservatism" has political and cultural connotations I don’t like and usually find repulsive – in their common outworkings, if not the theory behind it. Conservationist is a friendly term. Eco-friendly even. I envisage incorporating material around my interest in post-evangelical ideas, and g0dstuff in general. Sometimes this will be from a negative perspective, I kinda like the idea that Kierkegaard’s writings were a discussion between two contradictory sides of himself, so I’d like to apply that here.
So anyway, when I am wearing my conservationist hat, as opposed to my sceptic, I am about trying to protect certain things I consider worth keeping around, rather than push a whole agenda. Or something like that.

Hey babes!
Had a quick look after our IM today! I so agree about the conservative vs conservationist thing. It never ceases to amaze me how many people mix the two up! Anyway, bedtime!
Get Skype already!
