Here are five things I’m still thinking about, five days after the People’s Climate March: 1. AIR IT OUT One of the things I keep coming back to, as I spend more time off the grid in places like Vermont, is the concept of TIME. The pace of the city vs. the pace of the […]

gave an interview with Materials for the Arts, who supplied us with the vast majority of materials (primarily industrial waste) for making the puppets, banners, and props for Queen Planet! “Problems as large as “climate change” are difficult to break down into smaller person-or-family-sized chunks of work or change. But the truth is, if we […]

On Transience
The Green Pony died three weeks ago. My forest green mini-van, green VT plates; my faerie punk portal on wheels. Her insides were tan and torn, the dashboard made sacred with shaggy debris. Her right axle creaked, the side door stuck, one window clunked under layers of gaffer’s tape. Warning lights flicked on and off with […]

What Trans Feminism Means To Me
I made a new zine last week : What Transfeminism Means To Me. I feel like there is a LOT missing from it still/I want to keep editing forever, but — it’s a start. In 2001 Emi Koyama wrote the Transfeminism Manifesto which talked about: “a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation […]

Misogyny – the hatred of femmes – runs deep in our culture. I’m not shocking anyone by stating the obvious here : for hundreds if not thousands of years, women have been bashed, judged, objectified, underpaid, under-recognized, discriminated against, raped, assaulted, and served all sorts of daily micro-aggressions. Trans women and effeminate men, as “traitors” […]

THEY.
Hi, everyone. I’ve been having a lot of pronoun angst lately so I thought I would state this clearly. My name is Quito and I’m a proud transgender person. I prefer “they” pronouns, and have been using them in queer community for a couple of years now. Because I know myself to be androgynous or […]

RIP mandela, a FB rant
I was having some feelings this morning that turned into the longest Facebook post I’ve ever written but I guess some feelings require many paragraphs to explain, here they are. Thinking about Mandela, empathy, a revolution in human relationships, queer economics, functional interdependent communities, last night’s incredible/inspiring JFREJ Meyer Awards, how communities age and grow […]

what was his name? MARK CARSON.
First of all I want to preface this by saying, I know this happens every day in places that are not one block from Stonewall. I know it is a cliché to be a white person who is outraged by a gay-bashing happening in their own backyard when this shit happens all the time, in […]

dysphoria and daffodils
Dreams of daffodils, a sunny field of them, and an audience applauding. I think it’s time to deal with my stage anxiety. At five I was the shortest little jazz dancer in Miss Ella’s studio. I spent most of my time trying to touch my uvula with the tip of my tongue in the mirror […]

here comes the sun
Slept on the Land** last night, spontaneously, without socks. Woke up freezing under 3 mismatched afghans, decided to head home for a long hot bath. A sign on Highway 103 said MOVING SALE so I turned right, just to see. The sale was nowhere to be found, but Ella sang Misty on my mix tape […]
