This Wednesday is already the last one of the month! Which means it is time for my monthly online event – Soft Touch Intimate Craft Crossover. This month, the theme is zine making. Without fully knowing that is what I was doing, my friends and I made our first zine in 1991 with a typewriter…
I am excited to join folks this evening for a little time of togetherness. I originally wanted to offer the option of an afternoon time block, especially if there were folks from further east that wanted in and the evening time slot was too late for them, but when it came right down to it,…
A few months ago my pierogi (a term of endearment for one of my polyamourous partners) Caitlin, came to Jess and I with an idea. The progressive church, Open Way, where they are co-pastor curates a community building, educational offering each year, focused on a different matter of collective liberation. This year, they proposed, members…
Next month, rather than planning a 3rd Wednesday afternoon Craft Crossover (especially because the 3rd wednesday is the 25th) I’m cooking up something else instead. I’m trying doing 2 different times, one in the afternoon and one after my kid’s bed time. I hope that y’all will join me to explore and practice tools and…
The theme for this month’s Soft Touch Intimate Craft Crossover was costumes & erotic role play. A number of key teachables came up over the 2 hour cozy crafternoon and I thought better than to just leave those points for only those who made it in person. Obviously, I am not going to share anyone…
After wrapping up the 5th cohort through the “Pleasure (Your) Chest” workshop series we wanted to give an update to the folks in our community who have been helping us keep this going. As you probably know, we offer this to folks on a sliding scale. We know that there are significant, compounding axis of…
I have been having a lot of fun so far this year working on my Halloween costume, which, to be real, is mostly a very intricate hat. But, as I am taking cues from my daughter who says, “for halloween, I am always the main character, papa is the goofy guy i meet along the…
Hello kind internet friends,I know I have not been doing the best job keeping things up to date here on the website front- I have been as trapped in the dopamine & engagement mines as the masses, but am often annoyed & discouraged by the ways that algorithm driven platforms that have the user reach…
Hey folks, I haven’t been keeping up with posting here as often these days. For all the reasons, the algorithm pages and my supporter sponsored Patreon get all the freshest news and updates, and it can take me minute to bring the news over to these parts. First thing, you might have gotten an email…
Announcing the registration and community care fundraiser for Pleasure (your) Chest an embodiment workshop series for trans masc spectrum folks who have had top surgery
Top Surgery can be a life saving procedure, but is not always as simple as the common narrative. This post announces an upcoming workshop offering partnership with Jess DeVries called Pleasure (your) Chest, which is a 4 part series for people who have had masculinizing chest surgery which we will be starting to offer online in September.
Looking forward to a cozy Friday evening gathering to dive into gifts and presence. The ticket portal is open til Thursday night.
I have been thinking about this a lot over the past few weeks, as I made my poster for the CBRC summit, and then as I went to the in person summit and have had more time to ponder about what hosting & attending events is about for me. As someone who continues to keep…
I made this poster for the Community Based Research Council summit before realizing I would need to pay to have it printed. Rather than do that, I have just posted it here so folks can access it through their devices.
After a full 12 events over 13 months, the Show & Tell has been a project that has been finding it’s feet. I have found ways of hosting this online monthly that seem to refine themselves a bit each time around. Some pieces make sense to carry over from one month to the next, and…
