Quoting Bill Callahan: "I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again." I make things. I'm an artist/writer: https://www.valentinavella.com/ And I also teach Italian. I'm fiercely anti-capitalist. I love animals and most people. I only host occasionally right now: It has to be a pretty special circumstance... maybe you were my mother in a previous life or we both love pasta alla Norma. :) In general I'm more likely to host artists, cultural workers, farmers, Buddhist monks, outcasts and people close to my age.
