CURRENT MISSION

the revolution will be glittery

ABOUT ME

Hi! I live in Brooklyn with 2 roommates. Alas, there is no extra space or couchroom but I'm available to meet up.

I thoroughly love living here. I'm involved in a bunch of community-building and activisty stuff, particularly around/with radical queer communities and people. I like arts and crafts and I love dance parties and riding my bicycle. I'm involved in a few different volunteer and organizing things and like to stay busy on top of work. More later, as I had to just entirely revamp this because it was yeeears out of date.

PHILOSOPHY

be kind, be real, and have fun. be aware of your impact, separately from your intent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a hurricane once brushed past me in florida. nature is powerful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you find people to meet and events to go to, particularly if you're interested in queer stuff. I can also teach you some introductory tarot or give you a reading. I can teach you some Spanish, bring you on a fun bike ride, or lend you zines mostly on feminist and activist topics.

I'd love to learn more arts & crafts, bike repair, more vegetarian cooking, hear travel stories, or have some opportunity to practice my rapidly-falling-by-the-wayside Spanish. Ooh also if you can teach me more guitar! I know a bunch of chords and I thoroughly enjoy trying to play songs alone in my room but I could use some help. I of course love music made by really talented specialized musicians but I think music-making should be accessible to all.
