Hello beautiful beings, I am just back from DC where I had the chance to officiate a beautiful black-tie wedding. With people from at least 6 countries in attendance, it was wonderful to see a blend of experiences that come together in one pair of individuals. There was punk pagan and foreign royalty, immaculate old money and modern queer beauty, older lesbian and young straight polyamorous energy all in one place, which truly represented the couple well.

Hello beautiful beings, I write to you from the Baltimore, Maryland area, loading up the gear from the staff of Camp Crucible as we prep to pack in for this amazing 9-day event. Over breakfast we talked about what has been happening on the DC venue The Crucible for which the event is named, and it is fantastic to hear about all of the events that have been happening there from dance parties to dungeons, weddings to safe spaces for often oppressed populations.

Hello beautiful beings, I have just gotten back from Colorado Leather Fest and re-packed for my upcoming weekend at the Academy of Fetish Arts in Cleveland. The event was an intense emotional ride that many people I know are processing right now. I am so grateful for having attended the class “Queer LeatherSex in the 21st Century” by Sir Luke and His victor, as well as getting to know them better.

Hello beautiful beings, Spring has fully sprung and Denver is alive with greens returning to the trees and the squirrels playing what I call “Squirrel TV.” What is Squirrel TV you ask?

Hello beautiful beings, This past week I did something for the first time – I put one of tarot spreads out into the world.This This past week I did something for the first time – I put one of tarot spreads out into the world. The RACK tarot spread is a way to examine risk, awareness, consent, and the kinks in our life using tarot cards, whether doing divination or as journaling prompts… or even if looking for inspiration when planning an erotic encounter with a partner.

Hello beautiful beings, My heart has been shaking as of late as I watch the truly toxic legislations and attempts at legislation against transgender people and transgender children specifically. There are a lot of people I know out there who do not understand that, as a recent meme I saw said, transgender people are not trying to turn cisgender children into trans children. We are trying to help transgender children become adults.

Hello beautiful beings, The snow is falling in a mad flurry in Denver, a reminder that winter has not yet wrapped up and that it is okay to still have our spirits bundled up kept warm. I have been dancing with my own complexities of spirit and body alike, finding support when I remember to during the challenges of relationship evolution, body pain, and emotional flow alike. Perhaps my spine and hips have known the snow is coming again, or perhaps it is simply being in my body.

Dear beautiful beings, This is a tender letter to write. I hope it will be received with support and love, as I know the process of writing it is being one that has been imperfect in giving myself those things. Giving ourselves love and support is a practices, and practices require practice. I am practicing here with you.
