Femme shark. Tiny queer cis lady.
I get crushes on all sorts of folks including those whose identity doesn't fall within a (constructed) gender binary. Partnered with a rad person who I live with, and am working to help get pregnant.
Into: consensual non-monogamy, flirting at art shows, and making friends with queer punks (of all stripes).

Deeply invested in a feminist, queer, anti-racist politic.

Being busy; trying to keep groceries in the house while also working on multiple Important Projects just takes so. much. time, some days.

Being annoyed and snarky all the time, and talking about why that is totally okay and valid. Striving to find the right balance of time traveling and time in this city.
Building, supporting, and celebrating with my communities, my fam, and my friends.

Figuring out how to stay warm while biking in the winter. It's an exciting new challenge.

Reading as much as possible. Knitting cozy things. Explaining my unconventional educational background quickly. Being sarcastic. Telling you what toy is developmentally appropriate (and fun!) for the kiddo in your life. Writing essays. Painting my nails. Journaling. Self-care. Thrifting. Accessorizing with glitter.

Lately I've been reading...

Sub Rosa, Amber Dawn
Salt Fish Girl, Larissa Lai
This is How You Lose Her, Junot Diaz
Women Hollering Creek, Sandra Cisneros
Brown Girl in the Ring, Nalo Hopkinson

Embarking on a feminist & queer science fiction reading project. Let me know any names I should add to the list!

consent, unschooling and de-schooling and how this has (warped) changed me, feminism, the academization of feminism, glittery things, community-based models of support, anthropology, the colonial history of anthropology, curatorship, whatever stories I recently heard on This American Life or Radio Lab, the ethics of the food I eat, how to be a critical lover of fashion, queer fashion, femme gender, non-monogamy, how to stay warm while biking through the winter, and where to find good tacos in Vancouver.

grabbing sushi and a beer on the Drive with friends, going to a show, going to a meeting, watching tv while attempting to finish a sewing project, cleaning my kitchen...

I'm REALLY into dark floral prints right now. And black nail polish. And anti-assimilationist queer theory.
