antiassimilationist, poet, performer, essayist, punk, queer, working at play.

writing, splitting my time between Maine and the desert like 80/20, idenitfying as disabled with a trans-related injury that is real central to my life, taking care of kids, riding my bike, sitting at my pink desk, catering, bartending, mentoring and facilitating youth writing workshops, crying.

writing hate mail, telling my friends I love them, having a lot of food allergies, having an underwear collection that is really important to me, math, crying.

I need so much alone time.

punk rock, feelings, homos, radical support networks, having all of my books in one place, days it doesn't rain.

the space I take up, hugely affirming relationships, chronic pain, food politics and security, consent, archives, trauma, gentrification, healing, how the words "inclusion" and "brave" are never not making me nauseous, resentment for the slam community, ability, poetry, access, One Direction.

writing, making pie, drinking liquor casually.
