Organic Education’s mission is to perpetuate the culture of school improvement. Collectively, American public school systems are the epitome of the “slow moving, beuraucratic wheel”, essentially impervious to change. Our goal is to bring intelligent ideals to the forefront and have this information accessible not just for politicians and think tanks. We encourage reform from the ground up sprouting from individual communities – the parents, educators, businesses and local governments within them.

"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one
who is striking at the root." - Henry David Thoreau

"I heartily accept the motto, — 'That government is best which governs
least'; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I
believe, — 'That government is best which governs not at all'; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it...But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it." - Henery David Thoreau, "Civil Disobedience"

The Pittsburgh Dish focuses mainly on restaurants in and around the 'burgh. Sometimes, other food-related interests sneak their way into the blog, but I try to keep it to a minimum.

A space to keep up on the zany-antics and debauchery spawned
by the poetry cabaret troupe, The TypewriterGirls.

Who Are the TypewriterGirls, Really?

If you’ve never been a TypewriterGirl Poetry Cabaret (shame on you, if you haven’t), then one of the first things that may come to mind when you hear a “Typewriter-Girl” referenced to may be that of the Victorian New Woman icon, of whom Rudyard Kipling once complained “Now in the name of all the Gods at once, what is one to say to a young lady . . . who earns her own bread and slings out-of-the-way quotations at your head. That one falls in love with her goes without saying; but that is not enough. A mission should be established.”

Well, here’s a mission for you Rudyard—

Quite simply, The TypewriterGirls are a collective of young women who first congregated in Carlow College’s Creative Writing Department, during its Golden Age, of 2002-2006. There, they fell in love with poetry, women, monkeys (perhaps, I should have mentioned this first) comedic misadventures of all sorts, Dada, Modernism, run-down-turn-of-the-century haunted hotels in dead coal-mining towns and, of course, typewriters. This splendid group of young, charming, and slightly out of touch with reality burgeoning poets and writers decided to adopt and own the mildly disparaging title that had been given to them by the befuddled masses “those typewriter girls.”

After years of preparation—theatrics on dilapidated train-tops, cabaret
dancing in gas-stations, gorilla poetry readings in Dollar Generals, failed attempts at opening a petting zoo/brothel that specializes in pigmy goats and monkeys—a militant branch of the TypewriterGirl collective decided to be only mildly distracting to the world no longer! They took up arms against banal poetry and decided to wage war the only way they knew how: with a play and a dance party. Taking their cues from Hugo Ball and Tristan Tzara’s Cabaret Voltaire, Crystal and Margaret (m
