Time for a re-intro.
I'm a GenX writer, eldergoth, senior editor, and music journalist. I've lived solo in a studio in Portland, OR for 16 years.
I was born in NW Illinois but grew up in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I'm long-divorced, feminist, queer-identified, and have no kids or pets.
My life pretty much revolves around reading, writing, learning, music, home decorating, and religion.
I'm basically a monastic without a monastery.
The majority of my interests probably qualify as niche.
Here are some interests I’ve rarely casted about, but would gladly do so more often in the right contexts + cozy corners.
- gift economy and culture
- dark ambient music
- "shop talk" for professional editors
- cottages and tiny homes
- goth home decor
- darkness retreats/meditation
- car-free living
- dance (especially bellydance)
- subterranea (basements, caves, etc.)
- right-to-die movements
- my Swedish + German ancestry and family history
- monasticism in modern polytheistic religion
- philosophy of work and leisure 8 replies
