Stable / kennel / field notes
A workhorse, occasionally a service dog, with hoofs at a keyboard at times.
Welcome to an online stable kennel for writing, photographs, community memory, and the serious play of becoming otherwise.
01 — biography
More than a role. More than a résumé.
A life made between instinct and analysis, service and play, public work and private imagination.
The animal, the academic, the communal workhorse.
I am a kinky horse who sometimes enjoys the part of a service dog. Despite a PhD, I delight in embodying the dumb animal I am–though the hoofs still type from time to time.
Years of travel, play, study, volunteering, and work across the United States and Eurasia continue to shape how I think about desire, power, care, history, art, and belonging.
Kink can be erotic, but it can also be profoundly enriching and enlightening: a practice of attention, invention, accountability, and community–If we are courageous enough to transcend internalized shame and fear.
02 — community work
Making room for curiosity, skill, and safer play.
Kink communities are built through care, labor, storytelling, and the choice of showing up for each other.
Service is a lifestyle.
As a communal workhorse, I share time, stories, skills, and raw labor with people who are passionate about alternative sexualities—-or simply beginning to ask better questions.
I have volunteered at events, conventions, and kink camps; helped co-found groups; and supported spaces where fantasy can be explored with more care, accessibility, and dynamism. I have also served as a judge at regional and national title contests.
This site gathers some of that work: reflections on movement history, practical lessons, memories from the road, and gratitude for the activists and elders whose labor made so much possible.
03 — writing
Notes on kink, art, history, and the life in between.
Essays and observations from a worldly, queer, minority perspective—curious, critical, and personal.
Latest from the journal
04 — photographs
Evidence of a life in motion.
Portraits, scenes, textures, and visual notes: work that keeps the unsaid in the frame. [still under construction!]
