I am fuckingenderqueer.

My heart is sewn on my sleeve.

I'm fiercely loyal, and will do just about anything for the people I care about.

I point on my hand when I tell people where I'm from.

I travel the world when I can.

Extrovert. Extrovert. Extrovert. With introverted tendencies.

Things I like: Bell's (Oberon and Winter White are my favorite), conservation, garlic hummus, feminism, gender bending, skiing, snowboarding, femmes, tv on the internet, cold weather, abortion, Rachel Maddow, being outdoors, queer people, DKR, NPR, PBS, IALAC, BROLO.

Things I don't particularly like: tofu, red wine (but I'll buy you a glass/bottle), when the bottom of your pant legs get wet and then you need to take your shoes off, sinus infections, gender binaries, consumerism, hot and humid weather, mindless spending, super spicy food.

I am a pre-k teacher at a public charter school. I basically repeat the same directions over and over again: "crisscross applesauce, crisscross applesauce, hands in your lap, it's a little deal, sit down, hands in your lap, freeze, sit down, crisscross applesauce, it's a little deal." You get the picture.

But my job is awesome because I get to hear gems like this: "Mr. Thomas, butterscotch tastes like butter and like scotch." I win.

I have a not-so-sectret life as a drag king.

Working with my hands.
Paying attention to details.
Forgetting said details.
Making people laugh.
Cutting my hair.
Teaching.
Starting fires (in fire pits, not buildings).
Projecting my voice.
Traveling.
Packing.
Watching documentaries.
Navigating.
Thinking about and doing things for other people.
Being responsible with money.

And nail-clippers, but that's 7.

Gender.
Which NPR show to listen to next.
Crocs or Chacos?
Where to travel next in the cheapest way possible.

Asleep.
Thinking about my upcoming drag show.
Relaxing with friends.

My farts smell like unicorn poop.

You're willing to initiate conversation.

You want to know which pronouns I prefer.

You know how many times I used some version of the word "travel".

You know how to use "your" and "you're" correctly; like having mindful conversations; aren't superficial, but have standards; are open-minded; identify as queer; want to meet in person for drinks or show me your favorite spot in the district.
