i've lived in a dozen places, but if i am from anywhere, it is seattle, and the moss / petrichor of olympic national park. i enjoy speculative fiction⁴, punk music⁵, queer & trans literature⁶, woodworking, anything related to my fiancée nicha, and a dozen other things. i am a tamil woman and a transsexual dyke; themes relating to these identities recur frequently in my writing.
