the work is to keep doing the work.

About Me

Don't call me dreads.

My Interests

Reading feminist literature, writing my own feminist literature, recommending feminist literature (even if I haven't read it), making zines, running when it's not -2 outside, and rock climbing on fake rocks because I'm an environmentalist like that. Queering shit.

I'd like to meet:

alleys. sewing machines. runners who smoke. someone who wants to publish my first novel, or at least read it. Subtlety. Community...

Music:

Feist, Bebe, Cat Power, Andrew Bird, Ani, Jenny Owen Youngs, Bitch and Animal, Regina Spektor, Chris Pureka, Alix Olson, Kristi Rae, Sigur Ros, Mirah, M.I.A., Patrice Pike / Sister 7, Tegan & Sara, The Be Good Tanyas, Dresden Dolls, Buffy Musical, Tori Amos, and--when I'm feeling nostalgic--Hole

Movies:

I leave it up to my friends to make sure that before I die I watch these movies: Heathers, Labyrinth, Magnolia, Requiem for a Dream, the rest of the Fire Trilogy (other than Fire), Amalie.

Television:

Kill Your TV! Read a fucking book! Watch Buffy! And Veronica Mars! And BSG! And can I just say I heart Tina Fey? Oh Mulder and Scully...We have a date July 25th.

Books:

In no particular order except for what comes to mind first (and I'm listing authors instead of books, because that would be WAY too long): Michelle Tea, Andrea Smith, Felicia Luna Lemus, Gloria Anzaldua, T Cooper, Kate Bornstein, Naomi Klein, Cristy Road, Ali Liebegott, myself, Angela Davis, Jeanette Winterson, Marjane Satrapi, Peggy Munson, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Octavia Butler, crip theory, Lydia Lunch, Cherrie Moraga, Mattilda, Icarus Project, Judith Halberstam, Judy B, Arhundati Roy, Abha Dawesar (when she writes about lesbos), anything queer, and anything feminist. I work in a bookstore. This is a really fucking short list.

Heroes:

New Zine!

Hey people-I made a new zine, entitled "Sometimes I Forget that Avacados Aren't Kiwis" based off of a weird thought I had one hungover morning. It involves queer sex, stolen bikes, fucked up pride, an...
