- fwiw I like sports. I love when people flood the floor of a huge building, freeze it, and put knives on their feet so they can slide into each other at high speed trying to knock a big heavy coin into a net guarded by an armoured goblin! I just don't think we should organize society around it.

- this is how I sit in chairs
- the series is called Trans Film / Trans Space and we'll be kicking off at Hallwall's in March (it's in the basement of a 19th century Victorian gothic church that Ani DiFranco bought, couldn't dream of a cooler venue)
- more details as I get bookings finalized, but we're very lucky to have support from UB and Hallwall's and a great crew and I'm fucking stoked
- I guess me and Amy are doing an invited talk at Duke University in April. It'll be on *trans space* and Castration Movie.

- Savan is one of my favorite artists and collaborators in the contemporary underground, someone whose work consistently shakes me into new awareness of possibility and futurity. Nobody is doing it like her right now.
