I'm a photographer and graphic designer by trade, and a queer, femme dyke by politics. I've struggled with weight since I was 10—when my grandmother died—and have gained 40+ lbs. since July of 2006—when I survived a violent, gun-related hate crime. So, clearly I'm an emotional eater. ;) Ice Cream attempts to twart my every attempt to lose weight, singing her siren song every time she's within 50 feet of me. I've been trying to use grapes to tune her out...but they don't make very good ear plugs. ;)

Always happy to connect with other feminists, Buffy-lovers and queer guys and gals walking this journey. Don't be shy if you want to say "hi!" :)
