OKC profile:

mad escort poet into weird rad queer art+theory+language, gender stuff, anti-memes, computational sociolinguistics, and continental phil

INFP, apparently

roommate-searching aboutme:
I'm a genderqueer Lit student (Dawson, with stuff in Gender Studies and Hellenics) and escort into poetry, activism, and computational sociolinguistics I'm very into collectivism; I tend not to mind proofreading stuff. I was a candidate for the Rhinoceros Party, I try to do Vipassana meditation, and (try to be) hella passionate about probably too many projects and causes; it's important for me to have to have meaningful conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

a friend said it was a cool thing so now I'm looking at it

Interests

"I spend a lot of time thinking about
poetics of not-poetry (life, etc), etymons, what poetry/art even is, generalizing insights productively, deadlines (?!?!!!). radical relativism, finishing essays in a finite world."

"What I’m doing with my life
trying to trap it in a leaky pen

becoming the world's leading chuck tingle scholar, which might involve this stupid degree-getting thing (lit/gender/hellenics)

editing/publishing journals+anthologies, leading projects on language+motivation, manifesto-ing―& not doing any of this.

Rhinoceros party MP candidate; 325 votes. Platform included mandatory homosexually to solve national closet space crises."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran for office? Several ten-day silent ten-hours-per-day meditation retreats? Came out to my mom about sex work?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this section is about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

proofreading and editing skills? a backful of zines from the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair and Ottawa Zine Fair? a certain body of critical theory and various other discourse knowledge? advice or stories about sex work, if you wanted it? money?

I can write a poem, too. Any sort of collab would be hella amazing.
