Bicycles as Class Relationships [General Strike remix]

I guess it’s because I ride 40-50 miles/week on my trusty, decrepit, pink frankenbike that I think a lot about bicycling.** And so, I’ve thought about Bicycling as a metaphor for both the obvious and hidden aspects of oppression and class structures. When you see people speeding away on their bikes, it’s often because they’ve [...]

Free Software Links & Occupying the Internet

I have so much to say about Free Software [like what is the "free as in speech not free as in beer" Free Software Movement, how is it like Open Source and not], but for the moment here are links to programs that were taught in a workshop I attended recently. I put a ** next [...]

Exorcise: healing through sweating at the VENT festival Sept 25

Exorcise: healing through sweating at the VENT festival Sept 25

Exorcism and Exercise. I have been wrapping the two around my resilient self ever since I escaped the mean evangelicals who raised me* and as I live with the everyday tragedies of being treated “female” in a society that has some very fucked up attitudes towards femininity. My newest piece is a natural development out [...]

Work Hard Stay Hard in TN … Party Hard in NYC to help!

There is basically so much going on this coming week, what with Carnival in Brooklyn on Labor day, whoamoan on Tuesday, Rebel Cupcake on Thursday and Hey Queen on Saturday. BUT in true bounce-back fashion, those of us going to Work Hard / Stay Hard at IDA next week rescheduled our hurricane-delayed dance party/wrestling spectacle/fundraiser [...]

Canadian Travels & Family Perversion

Canadian Travels & Family Perversion

Wow, does it *ever* seem right to put Canada and perverts in the same subject line [hi you-know-who-you-are!]. From July 31 to Aug 8 I’m returning to the country that turned me out over a decade ago from a nerdy libertarianesque poetry dyke into at least part of the notorious being I am today. Thanks, [...]

fame and shame and dreams

I had a dream about updating my blog to talk about process, the motions of making and the spaces in between that I like to forget that I need in order to bloom beauty. I dreamt of performances about dissociation and  homorobics. I dreamt of taking a walk with Diamanda Galas. If you want to [...]

June Events & Whatnot

June Events & Whatnot

I want to write all about Heels on Wheels, how the perfect combination of personality, talent and magic got in the van and travelled all the way to Minneapolis and back, precipitating excellent dance parties and refuting the notion that Fancy Faces Only Tour Burlesque by taking performance art, stories and ferocity instead. I want [...]

Sex Worker Media, Movements and Transformative Justice

Sex Worker Media, Movements and Transformative Justice

I’m just so excited about all the awesome sex worker activism that is happening in the light of International Sex Workers’ Rights Day on March 1!! I’m going to look at & link to a tonne of peer-led media and calls for performance/video/writing, info on exciting legal movement, and close out with some still-forming thoughts [...]
