my pronouns

I usually use she/her pronouns cuz that’s what I’m used to AND If I was born in a different time & place I would have loved “he/him” pronouns. BUT I was sprouted way back in 1981 in a small rural mining/logging industry town called Quesnel in BC, Canada. Twas deeply homophobic back then. SO Feel free to use any of she/he/they when referring to me... I will get particular twinkles from “he,” bein’ a queer kid from the homophobic 80s, but I also might not know you’re talking about me haha

Ode to Spot

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;Your visual, olfactory, and auditory sensesContribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses. I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,A singular development of cat communicationsThat obviates your basic hedonistic predilectionFor a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection. A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion. O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you displayConnote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

2. Via this Kinopio, introduce others to some of the resources, concepts & thinking/feeling paradigms that I feel are antidotes to the toxic aspects of culture that are at the root of alllllll that ails us --> LOVE IN ACTION + Imagination + Community + Collaboration + Inner blossoming/curiosity/compassion

3. Since I have been doing a lot of unpaid + unseen labour from extricating myself from a challenging life situation I can’t share publicy, volunteering for Palestine awareness projects, local food initiatives & GOTV phone banking + also doing the time-consuming work of healing from PTSD, substance use disorder, unmasking, releasing self-shaming practices... I am really $ broke right now. I have designed this event to be free & supportive to ALL who need it (and) I know that when I give freely & lovingly of my time and talents, The Universe / Quantum Mystery Forces / Godstuff takes care of the money part 💗

1. Bringing some new humans into my multiverse as I blossom into a new phase of my beingness & emerge from a lotta “unmasking”

2. Turns out I’m hella neuroqueer and since figuring this out at age 41, the shame exfoliation has been revelatory!! I’ve always loved bringing ppl together, and I wanna create spaces safe for other queerdos & nerdoconvergents who are healing from toxic shame around being different in a culture obsessed with productivity...

while still in bed... vocalize while starfishin/stretchin from being in fetal position all night, think about being alive

to get outta bed, sit at the edge of the bed & look in mirror & give gratitude for having a body, even though it hurts

1. Wake up on time to host (9-9:30am sometime)

Here are some ways to support 🙏 ✨

p.s. I have struggled with this for a long time and am very proud of myself for working on it and being able to ask for the kinds of support I need.

If you’re called to lift up the ways I show up in the world (some seen & way more behind-the-scenes), I yam grapeful 🍠 🍇

3. I love humans, and reserve my disdain/disgust for SYSTEMS that we’ve inherited and which make us sick. I love hosting events on a cyclical basis that embody these values.

1. With all the possibilities of where my empathy, creativity & compassion are calling me these days amidst the metacrisis, I need it in my life.

I’m seeking a collaborator on a slow-chew project mapping the frictions of neurodivergent traits against the toxic aspects of white supremacy culture... here in Kinopio to start... Contact Me if you’re interested in workin on that with me!
