hey! so i was told to say things about me.

i am a older gen x, a parent, a working class/low income artists and writer and i do a couple of podcasts. I live with disabilities and am chronically ill. i colloborate with my fellow humans and non human beings -- i particularly love trees, roses, moss, crows, and the ocean.

I write a lot about joy, militancy, trust, youth autonomy/adult supremacy, anarchy, deprofessionalism, empire, autonomy (and more!). I have a few books, two main ones are: Joyful Militancy and Trust Kids!

you can find my newer work (including podcasts) at www.cawshinythings.com (a worker run anarchist journal that I do with friends). I am currently putting together an anarcho-trekkie podcast with Elia Ayoub called Resistance is Fertile. coming soon!

I also do Grounded Futures (a multi media platform with friends). Me and my rad kid are the cohost of the show (which is on hiatus atm).

I formally was part of the purple thistle centre, a youth run art and activism social space in east vancouver and did other cool shit in the neighbourhood that I have been priced out of. I am currently unhoused (although have a temporary place to live for the moment).

AND.....

“In spite of everything, joy.”
