i listen to an eclectic variety of music, ranging from 13th century polyphonic chants to 1970's michael jackson to my electronic musician friends. i have an unyielding crush on hiphop.

movies...
i like french films. i like silent films. 'la passion de jeanne d'arc' is my favorite film. it's a silent french film. additionally, i'm a fan of mafia, gangsters, samurai and kung fu. mainly i like movies that depress the hell outta most people.

i can teach you about how to take care of your body, especially if you've got a uterus (i am a nurse and a reproductive health nurse practitioner), and i can teach you how to cook vegan food that'll make your omnivore friends jealous & fat.

i want to learn everything you know. i'm working on my spanish-speaking skills, so any folks who wanna speak spanish with me are encouraged. other curiosities right now: liquid eyeliner, shibari, bike maintenance, a really good vegan ranch dressing recipe, & sissy-bouncing.

i like to share whatever i have to spare, sometimes that's snacks, sometimes that's bikes, other times knowledge, comfort or time. i supremely enjoy being helpful & problem-solving. i wish for everything to be highly efficient & extremely fun.
