inspired by all things jazz and swing, and academia, especially ivy league and preppy persuasions—with a side of 20s–40s retro-futurism, art deco/nouveau.
trying to capture that grizzled, disillusioned noir protagonist feel from the black-and-white talkies in the golden age of hollywood, trans-atlantic accent and all.page details:

(last updated 2026 march)what do the symbols on the landing page mean?
⚲ neuter symbol: historically used to represent Venus in medieval times. also used in biology to represent vegetative (asexual) reproduction. currently used to represent nonbinary people. my relationship to womanhood is nonconforming and androgynous, and I resonate with nonbinary gender fuckery even though I don't consider myself nonbinary.𐂂 deer: a reference to a song that shaped me, called "bambi" by hippo campus.🂡 ace of spades: asexual.⚢ interlocked venus symbols: commonly used to represent lesbianism/wlw shenanigans. quick shorthand to local fellow girllovers.🜂 triangle: I'm a sibling of three, I was raised in a religion that featured a trinity, and I hold myself to "rules of three" in writing and editing. it's an important number to me.☭ hammer and sickle: communist. power to the working class!why "quick"?
the nickname "quick" came about because of two things: I'm short, and I have adhd.short: my friends are all taller than me so I had to learn to walk fast to keep pace with them.adhd: because of my constant need for stimulation, I hate when things go slow. this includes myself. I talk fast, I do things fast, my brain just ping-pongs around different topics with little rhyme or rhythm.also, it's a funny bilingual pun. can't pass that up.how can you be a lesbian and still use he/him or they/them pronouns?
lesbians are not men. men cannot be lesbians. lesbians are in no way attempting to imitate men. we do it better! you fellas need role model. (only half-kidding. credit to hannah gadsby.)he/him or they/them lesbians are women or nonbinary or butch people who like women or feminine-presenting, feminine-leaning, woman-adjacent people. for me, as a butch masculine of center (MOC) lesbian, I see pronouns as tools to help me label my gender identity and sexuality. I want to be perceived as masculine, I want to illustrate my relationship to masculinity, I want to subvert what society expects of women. thus I use he/they pronouns.to be clear: not everyone who uses she/her is a woman, not everyone who uses he/him is a man, and not everyone who uses they/them is nonbinary. gender is different from sex, and both are a separate notion from pronouns. yes, they are connected, but they are not the same thing.each lesbian's identity is personal and nuanced. I do not speak for all of us. however, I am open to respectful and curious questions about my personal experience.how you can be a cis woman and use he/they pronouns?
gender does not equal pronouns. women don't have to use she/her. men don't have to use he/him. nonbinary people don't have to use they/them. pronouns are a way to express gender. I don't like femininity in association to myself and I much prefer neutral or masculine nouns and pronouns. it's a very personal thing, and it helps people understand my identity. much like my fashion and my vernacular, my choice of pronouns is one of the tools in my gender toolbox.I am gender noncomforming. I am butch. I am masculine. I am a lesbian. I am a woman who loves women and nonbinary folk.what do you have against liberals?
frankly, they're exhausting. as the saying goes: "scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds". liberals are right-wing people pretending to be left-wing because they're "lgbtq friendly" and have "diversity". it's all a farce. it doesn't matter if the bombs raining down on the west asia have gay flags on them or not. both the liberal and conservative parties of the usa have made it quite clear that they don't care about the working class. and really, they're even more dangerous than the conservative folks because they pretend to be allies to the left. destroy every single one of them. those who seek the status quo are not our allies.martin luther king jr. said as much, but no one wants to talk about how radical he was at the end of his life. ironically, a lot of liberals use his quotes out of context to push their ideas. he was talking about you fucking fools. learn about theory and radicalize yourself, join the left!what is your stance on the north korea / south korea issue?
I fight and hope for a unified korea one day. see New York based organization NoDutDol for more information.usa out of korea! reunification now! 통일! fuck imperialism and all jackboots.what is your stance on the israel/palestine issue?
as a communist who supports the free palestine movement, i believe in self-determination for palestine. I don't support the oppressive, imperialist, settler-colonialist israel government by any means. I know that both jews and palestinians are indigenous to the area. my support for jewish and palestinian people as a whole should not be construed as support for either country's government. and of course, I am neither jewish nor palestinian; I am a western communist who lives in the usa. as such, I will always defer to jewish and palestinian voices that actually live there.why do you still engage in Harry Potter fandom activites?
please see my post on tumblr explaining this.I am a safe space and supporter of my trans, queer, aro, ace, and other marginalized comrades. do not watch her new show. do not buy any new books. pirate those games. fuck JKR. I refuse to call her a terf because she's not even a feminist. she's just a bigot and a miserable person.why don't you like marvel/dc/superhero movies?
a few reasons. first, they're superheroes. I dislike superhero stories immensely. marvel likes to cater to the action porn dudebros that make up most of their audience, so the actual plot and characters of their movies are pretty boring. and their fight scenes are always just loud and explosive. why the fuck would I waste time watching that drivel when i could watch literally anything else? how can you say you're saving everyone when you're destroying things left and right? violence isn't always the question, and certainly causing public disturbances + risk to the general public is quite un-superhero like.not to mention, marvel/dc has consistently whitewashed, straightwashed, queerbaited, and killed off canoncically queer characters. even if marvel movies were well-made and well-written, why the fuck would I watch someone that I'm not represented in? there's enough shit with cishet white guys out there. I'm not interested in watching boring, overdone blah like that.also, the actors are wildly tone-deaf, problematic, and just all around ignorant and annoying. fuck out of here with that shit, I'm happy with my queer lady content that doesn't have annoying marvel/dc branding slapped all over it. I have not forgotten the disastrous chris pratt debacle, I never will!lastly, marvel/dc is literally just military propaganda. why the fuck would I enjoy something like that. the us army, air force, marines, etc. have had a hand in these movies and sometimes sponsor them. it's pretty explicit in movies like captain marvel and captain america. it spreads messaging that the military are the "good guys", just like the so-called heroes. miss me with that shit.what do you use to edit?
picsart, phonto, polarr, moldiv, medibang, adobe capture, mega, pinterest, unsplash on iphone,
imovie, garageband, mega, quicktime, audacity, adapter on macbook air.do you like pineapple on pizza?
no. for several reasons. (1) texture (2) too sweet OR too sour, depending on what stage the pineapple was cut (3) too moist.I also don't like pineapple, whether on or off a pizza.oxford comma or no?
yes, always. I hate when people don't use them. one of my favorite punctuation marks.what's your opinion on em dashes?
fuckin' love them. I use them way too liberally to be healthy, but there's just a certain vibe to stopping a sentence part-way through and switching tack. or giving some dramatic pause. I like when they come in pairs. AI can rip the em dash (and sister en dash) from my cold lesbian hands.
