Introduction i like yarn. i also like words. i try (unsuccessfully) to remember that brevity is the soul of wit.
Interests death drives, loss, failure as political praxis, negativity, imperfection, knitting, desirous mobility and mobile desires, when error is reversible and when it isn't, wandering body parts like the phallus and the uterus, the city, the non-place, queer space, models of radical intimacy, paris, los angeles, french bulldogs, foodies and the food they cook, burlesque, public culture, melancholic modernism, hysteria, the trials and tribulations of my non-sexual spouses and their cats, not writing my dissertation, copying this same list of interests every single time i'm asked to "profile" myself
