About Me

On the one hand a tottering world in flight, betrothed to the glockenspiel of hell, on the other hand: new people. Rough, bouncing, riding on hiccups. Behind them a crippled world and literary quacks with a mania for improvement.
I grew up in Plattsburgh NY, moved to Syracuse NY for High school, and now I live and go to college in Buffalo NY.I am not an absolutist; my ideas, perceptions, and life are non-static and ever shifting.
I am an agitator, an anarcho-syndicalist, a feminist, an anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-classist, a vegan, an activist-organizer, an adventurer, a lover, a SKEPTIC, a troubador, and a bike rider.
I truely believe that once organized, people can change things and subvert systems of oppression.
I'm a romantic and always down for exploring and other fun things. I like to craft shit, and dance. I like to learn from people and books, in that order.
DON'T ADD ME IF I HAVE NEVER MET YOU BEFORE!
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
I say unto you: there is no beginning and we do not tremble, we are not sentimental. We are a furious Wind, tearing the dirty linen of clouds and prayers, preparing the great spectacle of disaster, fire, decomposition.* We will put an end to mourning and replace tears by sirens screeching from one continent to another. Pavilions of intense joy and widowers with the sadness of poison.
