My favorite part of having ADHD is being completely productive on all my side quests instead of the things I need to work on like applications, or updating my website, maybe even writing my newsletter. Instead I've been sewing all day and making an outline for a different project...

Worried about a fascist takeover? This sheet-pan paella will make you feel like you’re in 1930s Spain.

Was telling my sweet dear Tomas about that one time I was on Inside Appalachia, and how I'd go on tinder dates where the people would google me before hand and ask if I really needed cicada screams to fall asleep. Any way here's that link wvpublic.org/cicadas-a-lo...

I love the screams of the cicadas and the metaphors they present. Little critters underground burrowing, creating air in soil, feeding off dead bits of trees. Making everything work; they remind me of miners back home. Eventually they come to the surface to be fed on, destroying themselves.

This is the most colour I've used in my work for awhile. Argentina, especially the Andes, has done wonderful things for me and my practice. I think it's going to be wonderful to see these new pieces beside the pieces I made this time last year...

Going to start migrating all my work over this way. Im thinking alot about women in social movements, labour, textiles, and monuments. How do respect the memories and work of women like Eva Perón, Ella May Wiggins, Mother Jones.

Im you resident Appalachian academic, artist, storyteller, holler woman, making art about Mountain folklife. You'll find me reconciling the land-based practices I grew up with and the effects of extractive industries, exploring ideas of Appalachian identity, making art with Fungi.
