CURRENT MISSION

To meander with fierce curiousity.

ABOUT ME

My right shoe comes untied at least 3 times a day. I carry dice in my pocket. I'm queer. I'm committed to wildly radical politics. I love strategy, trouble, books, chess, sweet music, rough edges, humor and historical ghost tours. Right now i live in West Philadelphia, where i do political organizing, make comic strips, read obsessively, bicycle the cobblestone streets and come up with tender and bad ideas.
