Falmeeaus

Using a name that isn’t your everyday name when your Starbucks barista asks you for it is a small powerful act. It won’t do much to defeat surveillance capitalism, but it’s very good for personal bravery-building. “I am, today, who I say I am, today.”Today at the Starbucks in Stratford I was Flambeaux. Except that, despite spelling it several times, I came out as Falmeeaus.All hail Falmeeaus.
