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

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.
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.
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.
