While I don't super love Japanese: The Spoken Language as a textbook series and would argue that for most students it would be tough to lose, I respect it more now as someone with linguistics now in her background alongside Japanese.

July 2026 DJ Stream Schedule Wow I once again have been terrible at updating this! At any rate, it's a quieter month. Expect a lot soon though! I'll have another update shortly, one of a more personal nature. Thanks for tuning in, my witches. I'll see you out there (and here) more soon! -July 10 -…

I'm so tired.

I knew I had finally made it when I, a woman who has been DJing for 16 years and producing music for 19, finished a set the other day and a cis white man who I have never met before pulled me aside to tell me that I 'should be proud of yourself.' thanks for the validation man. 🙄

Hot Curse Summer

June DJ Stream Schedule Sorry for the few weeks of silence! I was very much caught up in enjoying time with my fiancée and subsequently moping about no longer being with my fiancée for another couple of months. In some ways, having a goal and a rough date for no longer being so far apart makes the…

Also in more fun posting news, look at this very good picture I took of my friend (ladies she's single. she also accepts exhausted looking men).

If you feel unsafe or socially threatened when someone corrects you about the trans or queer experience, and if you treat the relationships in that space as fundamentally different or other from those in your comparatively 'normal' life...

Not ready to go back east. I'm ready to just be out here with my fiancée so we can move in, get for real married, and just live. I did buy a pretty lesbian coded shirt at one of the local bookstores and snapped a stupid selfie on our way out the door to get me to the airport.

It's a bit toasty today, but what a view.

Still Going I've got a little over a week left out here before things go back to a regrettable normal (although once they do I'll be doing more DJing and other streams again). For now, apologies for fewer updates. I hope those that do pop up are at least of interest!

I'm so glad i am waking up hours earlier than I might need to cause one student of mine can't be assed to confirm the session we scheduled (which also means if they don't show I've woken up early and cant charge the no show fee, because they never confirmed it).

Just some flowers Flowers in Ferndale. Polaroid i-Type Nothing much to say - kind of just vibing. Expect a lot more later this week though!

Upcoming Streams, Travel Anxiety I'll be on my way to the airport in about 7 hours. As always, I am mostly stressed about the airport itself as well as dealing with security. I've been pulled aside for a deck of tarot cards too many times and this time I'll have to ask for a hand inspection as…

あと２日 Safe Space Salon, Durham. Instax mini41 One last day for me to get ready to travel. If I'm honest I've done all the heavy lifting parts of packing - I still don't know which textbooks I want to bring. Some I need for teaching, and some I want for my own study purposes. Either way even though…

Packing Getting ready to head out west to be with my fiancée early Sunday. There is a method to the madness (but i do acknowledge the madness). I'm hoping to work on music a bunch while I'm out there! Instax film, taken on a mini41

Pretzel The sweetest little terror. Taken on instax film

Sitting down to fully revamp my website for the first time in over a decade. Head over for bookings for tutoring, DJ performance, as well as regular updates and information on music I produce and my photography. (SSL cert being renewed, more info to come - its a skeleton atm still)

Coming up on the end of my Before the Storm replay. There are choices made with the direct sequels that I don't love but honestly, it's kind of nice that Chloe and Max get an actual happy send off. #LifeIsStrange #MaxAndChloe

Its Lesbian Visibility Day - Look, I'm visible! Also I'm playing a short set FOR THIS VERY DAY on twitch at 9 PM tonight (eastern). It's just an hour but I hope to see some of you!

Vibing with a two hours set tonight. I honestly have no idea how its going to go. I am well and truly exhausted. Regardless, definitely come vibe with me if you can. It definitely gives me life. I'll be live on Twitch in about 30 minutes - twitch.tv/avaelin

(gonna keep banging the drum right now just because 😂)

ところで今晩のライブはあと６時間！ I hope to vibe with everyone later while I'm DJing.

I love all genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Because I have no gender. Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety. Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love? Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

Chiitan liked my post!

Just a reminder that there is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter, and it directly funds efforts to persecute trans people.

New Vial Day lets goooo

Live in like 5 minutes for a dark, bassy, vibey set in the middle of the week. www.twitch.tv/avaelin

I once again forgot that blusky exists.

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

Well. Nevermind I guess.

Hoping that I get no grief and all goes smoothly. Filing for my name change today after finally getting all the documents required by this state. In some ways it's the easy part because then I have to fix... everything else federally as well. But this will be nice to see done.

I sort of forget Bluesky exists. Anyway I got engaged to @ilikepizza425.bsky.social and I'm very happy about it, even as I'm rather sad we will be apart for the next eight weeks. Anyway here is a cute picture of us.

Never meet your heroes.

RSD, depression, anxiety, financial stress, a lease I'm still stuck on. The gangs all here. I feel very lonely and like an objectively terrible person today.

I have a bunch of DJ gigs coming up, but right now I'm too busy being a yearny bitch because after two weeks of bliss and planning for a future together we are once again going to be apart for two months. I hope it gets easier but it doesn't feel like it does.
