<br><br><br><b>this site</b><br>i'm getting back into personal websites because social media is anathema to my spirit. welcome to my site.

<br><br>somewhere between 2010-2019 i accidentally built an art career and persona around being in public as myself. but now that i'm in a new decade, i am making adjustments. 

<br><br>i believe in not using our real names for things. so call me nobody. who i am doesn't matter.

<!---
<br><br><b>autism</b>
<br>i am autistic which to me means i <i>sense</i> far more than a non-autistic person. i <i>feel</i> physical and mental sensation in situations where many do not. this is why i think autism can be a form of magic - the sensitivity, intuition, and ability to immediately sense what is alive and what is not in a situation. sometimes this is profoundly helpful and other times it is exhausting and disabling.<br><br>it is particularly exhausting to be infantilized for being autistic, to be unemployable because jobs are not accessible to those who feel, and to be manipulated on a loop because men enjoy coercive power-hungry psychology games. most of the time, i'm just trying to feel a sense of cohesion between what's inside and what's outside.<br><br>my magical powers sometimes overload me and it can require a lot of discernment to just be present with what is occurring, rather than being overwhelmed by 'my translation' of what is happening. because the dominant cultures of the world favor logic and hate anything that is associated with women (i.e., emotions), the level of awareness i have can be isolating. apparently we are all meant to embody soulless sheep and lie dormant in corporate shadows. i won't do it!
<br><br><b>DIY</b>
<br>i am a full-time artist and musician and came up in a folk punk environment, which was irrevocably influential on my artistic ethos. i think all music is valid, even bad music. i am often way more impressed by bad music because i am more impressed by musicians taking emotional risks. i see musicians as people and i see folk musicians as people who like to make music and integrate it into their life, not as a career but as a way of being. 
<br><br>i don't think it is a good idea to let our faces be advertisements for products, in general. i think it is better to be a person in community, and aspirations of celebrity are deeply suspect. being a tool for capitalism sucks and there's very few ways to be famous without encroaching upon dangerous hierarchical dynamics. few people know how to do it well, and no one is perfect. and some people do it very very poorly and waste their 15 minutes. i'm still figuring out how i want to relate to the music industry and if there's a way to do so without threatening my integrity. 

<br><br><b>palestine</b>
<br>witnessing the palestinian genocide unfold in real time on my phone, the same phone i use to scroll through videos of cupcakes and vegan parents, irrevocably politicized me and i can't look back. so much of my life has changed. my approach to art, community, and career has been transformed profoundly. in 2023, i took a brand new oath against empire and was able to uncover some of my political shortcomings as a student of the revolution.

<br><br>i think violence is a crucial strategy and is appropriate and just in many cases. the palestinian people are completely justified in their fight for liberation and the intifada has my support.

<br><br><b>astrology</b>
<br>i "believe" in astrology in that i accept that anyone and anything on earth is being impacted directly and indirectly by what happens above us. i believe that everything is connected. and because we are a part of a universe, galaxy, and solar system, things that occur in the sky do have bearing on the earth. astrology is one language for understanding this process. when people who scoff at astrology i wonder if they believe they are different from the ocean. the ocean being a body that is clearly influenced by the moon. are humans so different than water?
