Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

  • i might be a little obsessed…

    So, uh. I’m going back to The Wave Organ today at high tide so I can actually hear the music.

    When you find something that works, keep doing it, I guess? :)

  • Staycation ideas? :)

    I’m going on Staycation for at least a week starting tomorrow (‘cause getting horribly sick right after school ended + having a backlog of non-skool work to finish =/= an actual break).

    I am wondering if folks have suggestions of interesting & cheap things to do in San Francisco over the next week-ish while I’m giving myself time to play. I’m trying to approach this a bit like I’m travelling/exploring in a new place. Maybe this is silly since I’ve lived in SF most of my life, but I like approaching where I live with fresh eyes every few years. It’s good for me. :)

    I love beaches and parks and museums and book stores and record shops and good libraries and cheap eats and most things having to with queer &/or pervert &/or sex worker history. And I have a real soft spot for exploring SF’s “outlying” (not trendy) neighborhoods, as I grew up in one.

    Also, I’ve been really into longish-distance walks & city hikes lately, so good neighborhoods to stomp around in & explore would be particularly awesome to hear about.

  • no but for realz

    Tonight I am taking a long hot shower, making myself a fancy drink/dessert thing that involves raspberry liqueur* & vanilla ice cream, and reading the second half of Alison Bechdel’s new memoir.

    OMG, you guys, NOT WORKING ON A THESIS IS MOTHERFUCKING BOSS.


    *Grazie, Marlene.

  • Me & the Fragglemonsters are extremely enthusiastic about Rose’s zine, All of Them With Teeth: monster hymns and sermons. I’m only two hymns in and I already feel the need to blog about it!
If you aren’t familiar with Rose’s work, she is, among other things the big brains & bigger heart behind the brilliant & lyrical Taking Steps. Go have a look at her blog, get your socks knocked off, and order a zine. You’ll be very, very glad you did.
Rose is a phenomenal & lyrical writer, a fabulous performer, a gifted spiritual worker, and really really fucking smart. We met through her equally wonderful girlfriend around this time last year, and bonded instantly over many things, from writing to activism to spirituality to word nerdery. I asked her to perform at Girl Talk in June and hope to include her in many more shows to come. I’m honored to call her a friend and colleague.
Also, if you’re in the Bay Area, go see her (and Leah! and Cherry! and assorted other wonderful Mangos!) perform at Beloved in Berkeley on Sunday. I went to the San Francisco show last weekend and was blown away — I’d go to the Berkeley show, too, if I wasn’t out of town that day.
(Also? On a personal note? I’ve had the loveliest couple days writing, reading, homeworking, staying up late dishing, going to Mass at Mission Dolores, walking all around the city, eating lots of good food, & mani-pedi-ing with Rose. Having friends in from out of town is a such a nice break in the midst of all my mid-semester zaney-ness. It’s like getting the vacation brought to me, and oh, is that needed right now.)
