Personal Update

This is one of my least active months online since the launch of my website, in large-part due to the heightened demands of my personal life. I am navigating multiple injuries (long-standing ones as well as a new one to my wrist), some difficult interpersonal conflict, and a big move out of the Midwest and back to Portland. I’m worn thin and totally burnt out, but also hopeful and excited. Having a big change to look forward to and the means (via finally getting disability support) to do it has done wonders for my outlook and sense of self. I am thrilled at the prospect of becoming embedded in a sizeable anarchist milieu again!

I anticipate being relatively quiet over the next couple of months as this move demands even more of my energy and attention. Please bear with me and keep a look out for my updates. I’m truly hopeful that, in the long run, this change will be generative for my intellectual and creative work as well.

I don’t keep any of my work behind a paywall, but as an ailing transgender dyke who wants to continue to create and share this work as long as I am able. If you appreciate what I share and have the means, please consider signing up as a monthly supporter of my Patreon, donating to my Ko-fi shop, or sending a little love to one of my tip jars on Venmo or Cashapp:
