Bio Notes

Coinner of the DezNat hashtag on Twitter in August 2018, short for Deseret Nation. X handle JPBellum. Inspired by the theocratic State of Deseret. Chose the bowie knife as the movement symbol citing Brigham Young's 1853 speech where Young unsheathed a bowie knife on the pulpit. Used the bowie knife in memes to show unafraid embrace of church history including the ugly parts.
