About Me:
I like postcolonial theory, making crafts, zines and
vegan food, riding bikes, playing music, reading and
cranky conversations over coffee. I am too serious for
my own good, but not so much that I don't know how to
laugh at myself.
here is a queer, feminist art journal that I co-edit:

Who I Want to Meet:
People who read and think too much, who would rather
stay in and cook on a weekend evening, those who
share a fascination with bikes and public
transportation, aspiring radical educators, people who spend a lot of time asking, "what do you see that makes you say that?", queers who feel distanced from hip queer scenes (but fascinated at the same time), punk rock expatriots, those who have spent time listening
to copious amounts of the Smiths and New Order, and straightedgers who would never, ever get a straightedge tatoo. And Morrissey, Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Peter Hook and Gillian Glibert.

i'm glad our "parallel lives" are doing more intersecting these days!
We should get coffee and chat when we're not at a show or a rally sometime soon!
Eleanor, I miss you!
I miss having coffee and baking and making soup and smoothies and all the wonderful soul bearing conversations. Although we only see each other once or twice a year at best lately, you are still one of my bestest friends!

was moving to pdx and she was going
back to nyc, i'm happy i met her and
can now call her my friend, and quite
happy to know i'll see her again some
time. i hope all is well on the eastern
front, i'm sorry you have to live so close
to a horrible dictator.
