My kombucha was so hard to open it changed the trajectory of my fate line
The feminine urge to walk into the ocean wearing my CVS receipt as a shawl
The feminine urge to walk into the ocean wearing my CVS receipt as a shawl
My kombucha was so hard to open it changed the trajectory of my fate line
Being told I look like Claire Danes is my favorite hobby
Hit myself in the thigh with a turnstile so hard my quad popped like a balloon
The feminine urge to walk into the ocean wearing my CVS receipt as a shawl

Irregular Gifts: Handicraft as a Natural National Artifact, SPRING 2023
"Handicrafts are place-based objects to be extracted from the earth, made by 'sovereign subjects, as things, formed by power relations, materials, pressure, and gravity.’' (Ellyn Walker, The Sovereign Stitch: Rereading Embroidery as a Critical Feminist Decolonial Text, p. 228) If scientific truth comes from the physical, observable world, craft brings politics into the realm of science, biology, blood, bone, with its natural elements of yarn, cotton, yucca, feathers, animal hide, porcupine quills, rocks and shells. It offers us something closer to a natural national artifact. It brings us closer to historical truth, regardless of political desire to forget."
