I’m a bisexual nonbinary food writer, blogger, and zine author covering the intersections of gender, sexuality, and food.

In 2016, I changed up my blog format to focus less on rolling out recipes quickly and more on food, social justice, and queerness. It takes a lot more time and energy to write these posts, which means I don't post as much and don't get as many views on my ads (which already don't earn enough to pay out). The blog will always be free for everyone, but I'd love your help to be able to bring queer cooking and food culture to you on a wider scale.

New to my work?
1. I write queer zines! I co-wrote The Corners of Their Mouth: A Queer Food Zine Issue 1 (2017) and Issue 2 (2019) with my partner Robin Elan, and in Fall 2018 we printed The Queer Language of Flowers, a queer homage to Victorian flower dictionaries. We are currently working on Volume 2 of The Queer Language of Flowers. My solo work includes perzines, comix, and collage/poetry.
2. I bake queer and geeky cakes! Here is one example of a very queer cake I made, a Twin-Peaks inspired pie and cocktail, and a NBC Hannibal-themed anatomical heart cake. I'm currently working on a series of cakes based on quotes from The Room.
3. I write essays about food and gender. Here's an article on queerbaiting with tea branding and one on gender-reveal cakes on my blog. My published work includes an
essay on queer identity and Midwestern food in Comestible Issue 7, an experimental piece on jam-making and partnership in Dinner Bell Volume 1 (2019), and a piece on gardening to heal from an abusive relationship in GRLSQUASH Issue 3 (2019).

Your patronage provides the following:

Domain costs for my website ($26/year).
Support toward the cost of printing future zines. (Local printers and Kinkos both cost ~$100-300 for one run, and I try to give my printing jobs to local printers.) Patrons paid for my first and second run of Midwestern Transplant Presents: The Legend of Big Butter Jesus and The Jello Salad Mystery, printed by Paper Press Punch.
Help me and Robin turn The Corners of Their Mouth into a zine series with contributors who get paid. Update: The Corners of Their Mouth 2 was published thanks to Kickstarter and Patrons!
Send me back to cons after the pandemic (vendor fee, business license, transportation). We've attended Death Rattle 2017, Fall For Zines 2018, Spring for Zines 2019, Geek Girl Con 2017-18, Scream! for Queer Art March 2019, Portland Zine Fest, and Olympia Zine Fest 2019, Short Run Seattle 2019.
