CURRENT MISSION

Galavanting around and weaving a wider web.

ABOUT ME

Things I like:
Exploring cities and wilderness
Reading and sewing
Climbing trees using intricate rigging systems
Dancing (types that involve hitting people and also types that don't), singing and going to shows
Drinking
Playing rough with my friends
Playing in the dirt, woods and water
Doing interesting physical things which push my body to the limit, then just a tiny bit more
Traveling!
Collecting bones and feathers and dead things
Black things
Watching movies all cuddled up in blankies on cold nights

Anarcho-activism is really important to me. These days I cook Food Not Bombs and am involved with Humboldt Grassroots, helping to build energy and interest for our infoshop among other things. I've also spent LOTS of time doing forest defense.

I'm very sarcastic.
