Balancing a devotion to activism with personal relationships can be incredibly difficult. In "Love Rebels", coming from Thornapple Press October 2025, I use my experience as an activist, street medic and relationship educator to help others pursue the important work while maintaining healthy relationships - and without burning out. I know all too well how hard it can be to balance The Work and being a human in connection to other humans! This book is part call to action and part candid memoir, a friendly hand to hold when things are complex and the world feels like it's burning down. This may be the time of the Tower, but let me be the Fool who helps you through it. 

Talking about consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people who may be navigating their own boundaries for the first time. In "Say More", I guide teenagers in exploring what consent means to them. This timely and practical workbook allows the reader to work at their own pace and in their own way similar to "Ask Yourself", It's peppered with concrete examples from my own youth, prompts inspired by questions teens have asked me and comprehensive resources to encourage further exploration and introspection. From Thornapple Press (2024).

In "Ask: Building Consent Culture", I compiled a diverse collection of essays from people working on questions of how to build a culture of consent in our everyday world. This practical companion workbook invites you to take a journey through your own thoughts on consent and consider how you can help build consent culture. "Ask Yourself" guides you through a structured exploration with prompts for 28 days of journaling, conversations and other work. The prompts are split into four sections on distinct themes that allow you to explore consent at your own pace and in your own way. Also from Thornapple Press (2023). 

"Ask: Building Consent Culture" is an intersectional anthology that came out in 2017 about how consent culture could influence the various spheres of our lives, from the bedroom to the boardroom and beyond. With authors like Virgie Tovar, Laurie Penny, Roz Kaveney, Jiz Lee, AV Flox, Carol Queen and more, this book from Thornapple Press was revolutionary to how we discuss consent in society today.

A board game night with Berkeley Public Library and Games of Berkeley, this low key monthly event highlights all kinds of games you may not have heard about! Encouraging people to try something new, and meet people who also love board games, we have themes like "Fight the Power" or "Career Day". Masks encouraged and provided, too, which makes this a reliable social space for people who are covid conscious. 

I was honored to be asked to perform as a Blessings Faery at the Tripawed Dog Picnic in San Francisco! An annual event celebrating three-legged dogs of all sizes, the Tripawed Dog Picnic has been going since 2009 and features a costume parade, a talent show, and live music. I blessed these resilient lil' pups dressed in my faery finest in 2024, and plan to do it again this year (2025).

Juggalos, fans of Insane Clown Posse and related acts, are actually far more complex than the media who laughs at them leads us to believe. Juggalos have always been characterized by a sense of family that leads them to care for each other in an unprecedented way rarely documented outside of the community. Also, after being labeled a gang by the FBI in 2011 and marching for their rights in DC in 2017, Juggalos have demonstrated that while their political beliefs vary, they are not apolitical or to be ignored. Through interviews, immersion, and research, I acted as a Juggalo anthropologist, offering up a fresh perspective on these “wicked clowns” while finding myself genuinely becoming a fan myself. Eventually I cofounded "Struggalo Circus", a collaboration between leftist activists and Juggalos to fight for our rights. 

Rococo.co was an improv performance collective playfully critiquing startup culture. Appearing everywhere from the dirtiest warehouses to an impeccably decorated chapel, Rococo.co's combination of biting wit and fancy ruffles brings a sense of snobbish elegance to every affair. Kitty joined the ranks in 2015 and has never looked back (in part because her wig is too large for her to move her head).
