Interests & Hobbies
Meaning of Life:
I don't think there is a Meaning of Life. We weren't "put here," but we do exist, and if we fancy ourselves more sentient than and superior to other creatures then the least we can do is comport ourselves within the boundaries of kindness, consent, and accountability in all of our interactions.
Five Things I Can't Live Without:
1. My pup
2. My bed
3. Orgasms
4. The space and time to make art
5. The amazing women in my life
Favorite Books:
I'm more pulled toward writing my favorite authors. I love the Seed to Harvest and Xenogenesis series by Octavia Butler, along with pretty much everything else she ever touched. Ursula K. LeGuin, Angela Davis, Leslie Feinstein, Naomi Klein, Tolkein, Pema Chodron, the Smut Peddler graphic novel series. Sooo many more!
What I Like To Do For Fun:
Collaborate with friends on art and photography projects, go shopping, playing games, camping, biking, being outside. I enjoy working out and sleeping in, making new acquaintances, going dancing, getting pizza late at night.
Favorite Songs:
Solange, Ibeyi, Glass Animals, Marian Hill, Monster Rally, The Mountain Goats, Janelle Monae, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Halsey, Doja Cat, Sza, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, Nina Simone, there is so much music that I adore. Give me recommendations, if you have something worth sharing!
Favorite Movies:
Thelma and Louise, Moonlight, 9 to 5, Get Out, Legally Blond- these are ones I've watched recently/over and over and am loving at the moment.
Craziest Thing I've Ever Done:
Moved from my rural hometown to Boston on a whim with no support network or money when I was 20! I made it though, and lived there for a very happy four years.
If I Could Be Anywhere Right Now:
Somewhere warm! I'm so tired of winter right now.
Hobbies:
Dancing, drawing/painting/collaging, knitting and crocheting, biking, reading, rearranging my furniture, taking care of plants and animals.
Talents:
Making friends, getting plants to GROW, reading aloud, creating a comfortable space, cooking, sleeping in.
Perfect Mate:
Someone who knows I have a full life, tangled with lots of different people, and who loves that about me. Someone who pursues their own passions, and who kisses me passionately.
Perfect Date:
Going for a walk when it's warm out and making out in a park
or a daytime picnic at a sculpture garden
or dinner and a play party
or staying in to cook and play games and spend hours in bed.
Turn Ons/Offs:
Turn ons: respect for women and for my time and space, an uninhibited laugh, being switchy and playful in bed, light touches, lots of pillows, being taken care of.
Turn offs: Aggression and pushiness outside of an agreed upon dynamic for sexy times, entitlement to my time and space, taking things too seriously, vague communication
