Some Kind of Resistance Tour, 2017

December 09, 2016 in riding sidesaddle*

On tour, I’ll be:

• reading from my queer-as-fuck novel Riding SideSaddle*, while being a loud and vocal trans woman.
• speaking about empathy in art and code and software.
• chatting about queer identities, hate, politics, and intersectionality.
• hugging people.

I’m not changing the world here, there’s more to do, but it feels like a nice way to get started, find my energy, and find my people.
