Overview
About Me
donations encouraged; we will use them to support local organising for Palestine.
born and raised in ireland, now living in belgium
deep lover of sharing stories, dancing, art, film, writing, literature, music, travel, the communal, campaigning, herbalism, queer ecologies, being silly, being serious, le soleil, and a strong mix of curiosity and principled-ness
living in a houseshare of queer and bipoc loves where our collective wellbeing is number ooone! its a fun vibrant home that considers everyones needs well x
home here is somewhere you can rest, play, be. there's the projector, books, lots to cook with, repair tools, arts, crafts, the garden, someone experimenting with something lalala...sometimes i can offer my time and company, sometimes not. this can be communicated in advance so we know what to expect of one another x
generally speaking, brussels is a fab place for community run spaces. in most neighbourhoods you can find bar/food/film/art/garden/sports/culture etc collectives, with a lot of activities free or "prix libre" meaning pay as you like :) it's one of the best ways to be surrounded by community be it alone or with an interest to chat with people, try something out or dive into something familiar no matter your interest. there's also the usual stuff; in the city centre i like to look at grand place lying down sometimes. or to find the cheapest tea or beer: i would tell you where but then that totally ruins the game, and you'll figure them out pretty quickly if you wander around for a bit :) feel free to message me if there's anything in particular you're searching for and i'll do my best to get back to you x

Music, Movies, and Books
books: zines. most things by robin wall kimmerer, donna haraway, octavia butler, bell hooks...heaps of poetry and literature mostly in the space of lgbti/irish/ecologies and anti-capitalism. obsessed with libraries and open resource spots and queer bookstores, can share a very beautiful list across europe and other spots :)
music: find me on Spotify, niamh chuilinn
