HAPPY TURKEY ANATOMY DAY! This is one of my favo

HAPPY TURKEY ANATOMY DAY!

This is one of my favorite
holidays, and this year, I'm spending the actual day doing glorious nothing.

Just me, a new costume in progress, hot tea, and rewatching my favorite shows.

The rest of the weekend? Completely different story.

But today, I'm feeling especially grateful for my people - the ones who show up, cheer me on, and keep me grounded.
I'm thankful for you.

I'm still talking about the @sideshowhootenanny

I feel I need to shout out to the Educational Director, Pirate Queen of Coney Island, and most importantly my friend
@fauxpaslefae
for co-hosting the Friday night All Stars and Innovators Showcase with me.

What was it you said?
"Sisters from another twister" lol
Co- hosting with you was so much fun and a breeze.

Also, the coordinated outfits were an accident 😅 I mean totally planned. Look how well we work together lol

We celebrated the release of @the_lady_aye newest book
When We Spoke To The Dead, with a reading and a live show.

It was a fantastic gathering.
If you missed the chance to catch this event, don't worry! You can still buy Lady Aye's book in person or online. She still has dates for her book tour, check to see if one is near you.

When in New Orleans, side quest to @larenfest with a bunch of awesome nerds.

Following The Sideshow Hootenanny, we trekked out to LARF. It's not often we get to pretend to be patrons, and maybe lightly hassle our performing friends.

Still reeling from a wild week at @sideshowhootenanny in New Orleans

A full week of shows, workshops, late-night shenanigans, fire, clowns, pasties, sword swallowing, and all the glorious weirdness that makes this community. It's fantastical so much.

As always, I barely took any photos. I was too busy being flabbergasted, inspired, and laughing until I cried with this phenomenal family of carnies I somehow tripped into (both literally and figuratively).

My heart is full and I'm so thankful to be accepted among these folks.

It's @strangewitchdoctor High Holiday, Cyclical anniversary, Spawn day, Solar return, Birthday... as the kids say.

I have been with this other worldly entity for 14 of these days (because we met 10 days after). Every year has had some wonderfully fascinating adventures and discoveries. Home is where you are.

Send this creature some mad love today, through messages, antique books, Venmo, ritual sacrifice, your favorite tarot card, art, maybe a text 🤷‍♀️ however you express your love language.

One glorious weekend at @delawarefaire

The chaos, the charm, the crowds. Every year this faire becomes more like a community.
The crowds were on fire this year. You all were so fun to play with and perform for.

Oh, and the hammer?
It’s been enhanced.
Thanks to @porgswithkilts for the upgrade. It sees all.

What an absolutely packed weekend at @worldodditie

What an absolutely packed weekend at @worldodditiesexpo 💜

Two full days of oddities, art, and glorious chaos... just as promised.

Every once in a while, I get the chance to stage manage and host the stage acts for this wild event. It’s a lot of running around, but I love getting to meet and work with so many talented, strange, and wonderful humans from all over the country.

Huge shoutout to this weekend’s cast:
@kinbakuartistmiki & Xin @saymo_saymojam
@laternadanceco @hottoddlincoln @serastes
And the ever-fabulous Ms. Trisha, teaching the masses about bug sex 🕷️
Plus our rockstar sound tech @hesbeenusingbrandx

And thank you @bizarre_bryn for trusting me to wrangle this circus in your stead.

DC, you were a blast!
Until next time, weirdos. 🖤
