Why “the patron Saint of stupid?” 

Well, for years I joked I was going to write a book on dating and relationships and the subtitle would be, “advice from the patron Saint of stupid men.” When I was thinking of a handle that could encapsulate all I wanted to put out into the world. The patron Saint of Stupid Men no longer covers it. First and foremost, almost none of my life is focused around stupid men anymore. 

Calling things “stupid” is a way to add levity to very serious situations and (for the shitty ones) strip them of some of their power. Including but not limited to: injustice, economics,  government, equity, fashion and beauty, relationships, poverty, mental health, parenting, and trauma! 

My blog will be about a lot of things. Just come along for the ride with me. 

 My creative writing seems to focus on the themes of becoming socially conscience, being fem-presenting in our world, female pleasure (gasp) and being allowed to express it (double gasp), mental health, and dealing with being disabled. Oh, and religion and religious trauma. . 

My current works in progress are: 

-A novel that presents like a “which will she chose” romance, but is actually developing into a story about corruption in the Catholic Church and what it would look like if we could hold them accountable. Also, how to deal with the retaliation of the powerful for challenging the status quo. 

-A time traveling sci-fi romance novella series dealing with morality, war, and differing views on how to do aid efforts.

-a revenge fueled murder mystery dealing with mental health and grief.

My activism is primarily focused around Pregnancy, birth, and parenting equity. In addition, I do a lot of racial justice. I believe in something called the Consistent Life Ethic. It’s also informed by me having to be impoverished and having to be on WIC, Food stamps, unemployment and visit food pantries to survive. I’m not “lazy” or “freeloading”, life is just hard sometimes. You just keep moving forward. 

My music, is just that. My music. I write. I sing. I play guitar. I’ve done all of it for 16 years and counting. I’ve done worship leading for years and years. 

If you wanna book me for an event just let me know. 

Lastly, some of you (perhaps most of you) will have never known me as Savannah McCarty-Gibson, but know me by my married name instead. I haven’t connected with or felt like I was the same person as “Savannah McCarty-Gibson” in a long long time. But! Savannah McCarty-Gibson was the Patron Saint of Stupid Men. She was the one that sung her heart out at open mics. She was the one that spent years of her life being a writer. So, I might be the one to execute it, but let us give her her due!
