Philly Zine Fest (online)
Setting up one of many work spaces in our house… getting ready to lead a virtual zine making workshop as part of the @phillyzinefest workshops today. As we sit in the uncertain post-election days, maybe you could use a distraction too. Find us here.
Coming In (updated zine)
Updated zine! I wanted to get this updated for National Coming Out Day.
🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I started this zine on a Spring evening in 2019. It was cold and sleeting as I parked myself in a pub across the street from an LGBTQ+ youth center. I had just dropped off a teen (who was staying with us) and they had asked me when I first came out. I didn’t have a good quick answer at the time, so I sat at the bar and lined up a rainbow of pens. It’s easy enough to explain how coming out isn’t a one-time-thing. I wanted to tell them that I don’t remember specifically “coming out” so much as a continual process of trying to be true to myself. It sounds cliche. What I really wanted to explain was how coming out can be an act of coming in to your self and into a vast constellation of queerness. 🌌
Virtual Theater Conclusion
While so much of my time this spring went to sickness and recovery, it was often to the backdrop of this theater project: songs, scenes, poems, and dances from 20+ families but none of it could have happened without you: you were the home for this project, you are my home.

As seen on my way HOME. I love this fucking city. #imperfectgallery #germantown #phillylove
