I used to have to describe my style as cross dressing in my 20s. I’m 40 now and now there is a term for it. Non binary and proud. Read my piece about nonbinary fashion if inspired! #nonbinary #queer #queerwriters hopezine.wordpress.com/2024/11/28/m...

Wear out your library card. Your heart should palpitate when you step into a library and smell all the books. Oh my. Such a rush to know there are always books you haven't read yet. True luxury of the mind. Growth and feeding of the spirit, decadence... #writingcommunity #booksky #readingcompsday

A library I used to work at had books flying down from the ceilings which was an utter delight.

I love a good bodega cat, truly.

An older creative nonfiction/poetry piece I wrote. It's a fun one. #writers #writingcommunity #canva #grpahicdesign #artists #queerwriter #queerartist #Brooklyn

Congrats to @benpaites.bsky.social this book sounds awesome, I'll have to give it a read myself!

The 1920s were the "Roaring 20s"; I suspect this decade will be the "Ruined 20s."

❤️ this book for the cover. One of fave collected books. :)

Trump didn’t make America great again, he made sure we’d be irrelevant in the new global economy. No manufacturing. No power. Just a fading memory of a once-great nation. What a piece of shit.

Received copies of my nonbinary fashion style article in Hopezine. Hard topic for me to write about so was a challenge but a welcomed one. As a former Librarian, seeing my work in print is extra special! #artistscommunity #queerart #queerpride #queeraf #nonbinary

How do you select artists for exhibitions? “From the first instinctual heartbeat when I see a work that makes me feel I have not seen this before.” Kristin Hjellegerde Gallery

Doing a little past promo of an interview I did with @wildroofjournal.bsky.social of Mary Sellers, one of the most talented writers Ive ever come across truly (www.marybsellers.com) and wanted to say that I love interviews and book reviews and happy to try to coordinate them with various outlets.

"I wasn’t just going to survive, I’d be the next big thing. I would stay up all night because I could. and coffee tastes extra good at ungodly hours. 24 hours just aren’t enough. So many things to discover, and so many things to pursue, the good books alone in the world are twenty lifetimes."

"Sharing the same language of thin gray tattoos as our arms bear testament: different country, and different artists but same style. Connection beyond continents is not always in tangible words but in the spoken language of a human body moving to the music of Prince on vinyl." #queerwriters

Slightly thrilling to know that someone where out there, in the void that we know as the Earth, there JUST might be one person who sees this. In that case, this is me. #portraitart #portraitartist #creative #imagination #queer #brooklyn #newyork #books #artislife #artistlife

My goal, aesthetically, is to look like organ music should start playing when I enter a room.

don't order books (or anything) from Amazon today! Instead, order from a small press, Bookshop, a local bookstore, or request a book from your local library. Yes, Amazon is "easy," but it's continuing to kill local businesses and concentrate wealth.
