Belongings

The work I do, always with others, tendrils into and across communities that are presently situated on the unceded lands of countless indigenous nations. I make my own home on the land of the Ohlone and pay a voluntary land tax to the Sogorea Té Land Trust, supporting rematriation and transformation.

I also want to acknowledge the long, often invisible history of artists and activists that allow for the possibility of my own neurodivergent work. Their creativity, survival, and resourcefulness has lighted crucial pathways through the darkness of capitalist, ableist, and White supremacist anti-culture. That these light keepers have often been disabled, neurodivergent, BIPOC, queer, and genderqueer is not coincidental. Desiring to celebrate and sustain this tradition, I support organizations like Sins Invalid and individual artists like adrienne maree brown, D Allen, Merle Geode, and Rubin Hardin. I also support organizations like I-ASC and CommunicationFirst, working to create new pathways for nonspeaking communication and justice.
