Hi! I'm Rachel and I'm a little hick running around the big, exciting city with my wonderful wife and our two weird kitty cats. I work for the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition and write lots and lots of poetry. (I'm even selling a book of it!)

I'm highly excitable, and I've long since grown out of my snarky, cynical stage. If people who unironically use the phrase "spiffy keen!" drive you nuts, you should probably just keep walking. Me, I'm ready for joy.

I often post rambling narratives here, and they're generally true -- BUT! if you want historical facts, go read a historian's journal. I'm a poet and I can embellish wherever I like.

You don't have to ask to add me, although saying hello is generally courteous if you want me to reciprocate.

Oh! And I change journals sometimes, because I like change. Change = Future, and Future + Imagination + Work + Luck = Hope!
