i'm an activist with a penchant for women's rights, a social worker, a writer, a traveler, a lover of the strange, a crafty mofo, and above all open to experience as much as i can of what life has to offer.

i'm a muthafuckin rebel with a cause. you dig?

I like hot glue, glitter, construction paper, all things creative, feminist theory, and chocolate pudding.

I'm a polycraftyqueer, and I love stegosauruses.

Saturn return survivor.

Deep belly-laugh specialist.
Feminist with a sense of humor.
Dinosaur addict.

i've decided that i want to spend 2014 on the road writing, so i'm currently working two jobs, seven days a week to make the dream possible. I work as a visitation supervisor for a local family services agency, and love the hell out of any type of work where i feel like i'm making a positive impact on my community. I also work for a massage therapy studio as an office butch, which keeps the inevitable burnout of social work easier to keep at bay.

I love the city that I live in and love showing people the non-touristy sights and sharing the sweet little back stories that albuqueerque has to offer.

when i'm not discovering new parts of the world to appreciate, share or improve, i enjoy making greeting cards out of paint pens, glitter, gluestick, magazine clippings, and humor. i love creating something to make friends smile out of someone else's refuse, and strongly believe in the transformative power of craft. i draw signs at the local sexuality resource center, and giggle everytime that i consider that i'm being rewarded for drawing dildos with dry-erase pen. I make zines, don't judge.

i'm constantly looking for avenues of expression for the big wonderful feelings that rush through my tender butch heart.

Reading: lots of queer and womyn-centric texts with some fun thrown in...
pomosexuals, dyke drama, the last time i wore a dress, harold and the purple crayon, the ethical slut, anything by bell hooks, Dorothy Allison, Emma Goldman, Michelle Tea, Rhiannon Argo, or other sister spitters and lady legends.

willy wonka and the chocolate factory, but i'm a cheerleader, the dreamers, clueless, romy and michelle's high school reunion, viva, superfreak, twin peaks, ibtc, and lots of docs.

Music: anything that gives me the urge to dance my face off, or write for hours... dark dark dark, grimes, brazilian girls, mirah, leslie and the lys, the sea and cake, earth wind and fire, air, cat power, modeselektor, tender forever, belle and sebastian, the blow, al green, the slits, m.i.a., mika, the brunettes, of montreal, peaches, feist, iron and wine, daft punk, radiohead, santigold, van morrison, stereolab, the sounds, fever ray, Bjork, lovage, portishead, !!!, ladytron, crystal castles, and my thrift store chic vinyl collection.

whether or not sporadically watching the jesus channel is really going to help me have a heads up as to what my mom will throw my way next.

out making new friends, keeping the old, sometimes having a drink or two, then hosting the occasional after-party, followed by costumes, then sleeping.

i think safe sex is the hottest sex in the world.

you enjoy intelligent conversation, you appreciate a good sense of humor, you wanna craft, talk queer/feminist theory, or share exciting resources.
