I occasionally wrote blog posts for MyUmbrella, and my work may be found here.

I have a piece in the Pop Culture issue of The Winnow Magazine, which came out May 20th, 2022. It’s about The Sopranos and exploring my gender identity.

In April 2022, I wrote a guest post over at Sea Green Zines called “How to Start Your Own Zine Fest.”

Let’s hang out

gotta say, being queer and trans and non-binary is one of my absolute favorite things about myself, year-round 🌈 ⚧️ 💖 I’m in sunny Ashland, Oregon for @southernoregonzinesociety today!!! Stop by and say hi to me and @radbreath 😘 Also check out Rooster’S in Medford if you want a cinnamon roll the size of my hand! Heading to Ashland tomorrow morning for @southernoregonzinesociety on Saturday!!! I’ve never been and I’m very excited. Gonna have some new stuff on my table, including a shit ton of zine kandi (including pride-themed ones!) and these new holographic Ladybird stickers that I just got from @stickerninja ✨ They remind me of the 90s cat stickers you’d get from a machine at a pizza spot. Anyway, come say hi if you’re in the Southern Oregon area! I’ll be sharing a table, of course, with my zine husband @radbreath 🫡 Please bring us snacks!! 💖 I’ve got work in two queer art shows next month 🌈😵‍💫 “Be Gay, Do Art” is @rpscollective in Oakland starting next Friday through mid-July! Come to the opening on 6/2 😎 #memademay I’m still OBSESSED with my @matchymatchysewingclub #weekendchoreshorts from last week, so much so that I decided to make a @criswoodsews #criswoodsewsenvelope to go along with it!! Making the top was admittedly a little haphazard (didn’t measure very well) and I think I need to go back in and do a shoulder adjustment. But it’s fun! And coordinating! Used more @blackbirdfabrics cotton. I will be found in this outfit all summer. Ben said it reminded him of Star Wars “in the best way.” #memademay2023 #blackbirdfabrics #matchymatchysewingclub #matchingset #criswoodsews #bayareasewists #queersewists #queersewing #handmadewardrobe LNGRMSTPLR is back baby!!! Also if you’ve found yourself thinking “damn I loved that strange muppets recreation of the domestica cover art, I sure hope maira makes it into a large sticker,” you’re in luck!!! Because I did thanks to @stickerninja!!! I’ll have these and many more available this Saturday @southernoregonzinesociety in beautiful Ashland, Oregon 🔜😎 Quick lil #memademay moment before heading to a show ✅ I made this @helens__closet #ashtontop two summers ago and I put the graphic from my favorite shirt from high school onto the skirt ♻️ monster earrings c/o @fl00fy ❇️ #memademay2023 #bayareasewists #queersewing #queersewists #bayareasewing I finished my first pair of @matchymatchysewingclub #weekendchoreshorts yesterday! Another fun project to mix and match, this time I used a bunch of cottons I just got from @blackbirdfabrics (that I had intended to use for another pair of #recessplaypants but the weather’s been so nice…) and I LOVE the color combo. Wanted to wear these to the office today but it was kinda gloomy, so I’ll hopefully get some use out of them this weekend. The pockets are HUGE! I made an XL with no mods, which I was a little worried wouldn’t fit, but I think they fit really well. #memademay #memademay2023 #matchymatchysewingclub #blackbirdfabrics #bayareasewists #queersewists #queersewing #bayareasewing Something I made for next month’s show @rpscollective, “Be Gay, Do Art” that I’m calling “The Non-binary Experience”: beaded lyrics about the two genders (not the kind of girl you take home & a patient boy). If you’ve seen me at a zine fest or know me irl and for some reason haven’t seen me at a zine fest(?), you know I love both Sheryl Crow and Fugazi!!! So I have combined them here!!! I’ll also have two mini zines for sale at the gallery next month!!! Official flyer coming soon, but thank you @nic_dlp for curating 🌈💖 #queerart #queerartist
