Farmer on one side and an early photographer for Eastman Kodak on the other. Tends to trip people out who are in my generational cohort, but both were born in the 1800s.

LA&M is excited to announce the Ron Ehemann Community Leather & Kink Archive Grant Program, helping local communities create capacity to preserve their history. Applications are due April 15th. Visit leatherarchives.info/community for details!
Too many people think being a "good person" is based on the words they put on a page or the media they take in rather than being based on how they act and how they treat people.
Yes gooood. πππ

Itβs 2026. We really should all be questioning anthology projects with zero women in them. Not boosting them.
Considering applying for a city arts grant purely to force a deadline on myself to finish this poetry chapbook I've been poking at for a while, but also to have the funds to hire my fav local drag artists for funsies since it needs to have some sort of public performance component.
Spent the day at a farm animal sanctuary in Sonoma to celebrate @jesslynnwent.bsky.social 's birthday. Totally recommend booking a tour if you're in the area. I grew up in 4H country, but I've been in the city 20 years now. Still a delight to pet sheep and chickens and cows. www.charliesacres.org
Cannot recommend enough getting away from the doomscroll more often.
J telling me that Raven was barking at another dog on their morning walk and the other dog's person was like "Oh, it's just a puppy..."
Raven's young but fully grown. She's definitely gonna get a pass until she's an old lady dog.

Regret to announce that weβve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather
Can't wait to fill the open positon on my team. The grim benefit of a tight economy is having more people who align both on mission and experience applying.
I've got 3 book launches and four conferences to wrangle in the next couple months, and on the surface that seems easy breezy except that we don't function like a normal publisher so I don't even have actual pub dates just vibes on the two books that I'm not managing production on. lolsob.
Look, I'm not a proponent of "You MUST belong to group X to write about/in the voice of a member of group X."
However, I am a HUGE proponent of "But don't be a fucking disrespectful dickbag about it! Understand systems of power! And intersectionality! And do your damn homework! For fuck sake!!!" π€
I want to see the energy I saw when artists' got pissed about Kickstarter doing NFT shit to extend to this situation, and it's pretty wild that it hasn't happened yet.
