Hey local friends! The Shakespearean improv troupe I lead has a show coming up this month over at Unexpected Productions. It's been a whirlwind year of founding the group and honing our rhythm. I'm proud of what we've done at bringing more theatrical, queer improv to the stage. Nov 26th, 7pm. $5

If you're not sure about someone's pronouns, ask them. Mistakes happen. The key is to exercise grace for yourself, empathize with the person impacted and their pain, and seek to improve if you're struggling. It really does help to see the individual in their identities. Truly see them. 1/2

Meandered down a stone path through the woods today, then found an enchanting bakery and got Jes a few snacks. Currently off to play Irish trad tunes at 6pm at The Grange. Some days are hard in all ways, but on those days doing soulful things help make the burden feel a little lighter ☘️🎶

I could not have asked for a better set with a new team, @hamletcheeseimprov.bsky.social (Hamlet & Cheese: A Shakespearian Improv Company). We killed it last night! Thank you @discimprov.bsky.social and Miller's Carnation being such gracious hosts 🤘😁 #improv #theatre #Snoqualmie

This photo gives me such gender euphoria! The winter months are the best time of year in the PNW for weed maintenance on the farm, working outside in the cold and sunshine culling blackberries, thistles, and other noxious plants! #transman #transmen #trans #transgender #LGBTQIA #transjoy #ftm

I've been using the app Voice Tools to track my voice as it drops. It's subtle, but my voice first dropped after 3mo on T and this morning noticed another drop in pitch. Sure enough, it's mostly androgynous/male now and still changing. Excited to hear where it lands! #ftm #transjoy #transman #trans

Found this doublet at my local costume shop today, made by a local costume designer! It's versatile enough to cover quite a few Shakespearean characters and roles 🎭

The guy sitting on the bus next to me is reading about the cuteness of Capybaras and I appreciate this kind of levity in the world that is otherwise on fire.

We're all feeling the collective shock of a tyrannical takeover. Peoples' rights and lives here and abroad are at serious risk, and it's going to get a whole lot worse.
Process the shock, then organize, mobilize, #resist.
Here's a great book to get started: On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder #booksky

Fun show last night! Played the short form games "Madrigal" and "Crime Investigator" on stage for the first time. Witty games are not my forté (yet?), but CI flowed and felt good! Also enjoyed all the D&D, chess, etc. during the montage and performing a duet with Amy for the open mic. More please 😁
